    I am not a big fan of Apple. Yes, I have been using some of their products for many years now, but I'm trying to shift to alternatives whenever possible. But not everything they do is bad. One of the things I really appreciated was the introduction of ATT, the App Tracking Transparency. This means when you install a new app on your iPhone and start it for the first time, it will ask for consent for tracking. If the user denies, tracking is not allowed.I believe this is a legit and important functionality. Unfortunately, the German media and advertising industry does not share this view and has approached the Federal Cartel office.Apple has proposed a compromise that has been rejected by five assiciations. They are calling on the Federal Cartel Office to prohibit the current ATT tracking query and impose a fine.They argue in the lines of that Apple allows tracking for their own apps without asking permission. (Which sadly is true)I am afraid ATT will be watered down, but hey, why not moving to more secure and privacy friendly alternative like GrapheneOS? When it comes to privacy, I do not want to depend on third parties to determine how much privacy they want to grant me.#Apple #AppTrackingTransparency #Bundeskartellamt #AdTech #Privacy #Antitrust #TechPolicy https://competition.today/2025/02/13/bundeskartellamt-raises-concerns-over-apples-app-tracking-transparency-framework/

    I had this recent exchange with my wife:Wife: What is FreeBSD?Me: It's Unix, an operating system, and it's awesome!Wife: Oh OK. The only reason I asked is because I am finding these FreeBSD CDs around the house. FreeBSD 12.0, 13.3, 14.0.Me: Yeah, I use the old versions as coasters for my tea mugs.Wife: *pauses, laughs* I can see that.#FreeBSD #homelab #tech #fun #unix #computers #freebsd15 #operatingsystem #awesome

    These days, we read a lot about EUs plans to introduce chat control. But it also seems that these concerns are only in a bubble within those who care about privacy. Why don’t official media report on these sinister plans? I never heard about this in the evening news although these plans affect us all. But no one seems to care and no one except of a few nerds seems to act.If you didn’t already, support the fight against chat control and reach out to your local EU parliament members.https://fightchatcontrol.eu/#chatcontrol #fightchatcontrol #EU #privacy
