Ich habe selten so gut illustriert und menschlich erzählt bekommen, warum das Tracking in Apps so problematisch ist, wie in dieser Doku:
https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/123951-000-A/gefaehrliche-apps-im-netz-der-datenhaendler/

Danach weiß man jedenfalls wieder, warum man immer so einen Aufwand mit Apps und Anti-Tracking macht.

Gefährliche Apps - Im Netz der Datenhändler - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

Apps sammeln detaillierte Standortdaten. Die Informationen landen in einem weltweiten Netzwerk aus Datenhändlern und Werbefirmen. Sie verraten Wohnorte und Arbeitsplätze – bis hin zu Bordellbesuchen oder Klinikaufenthalten. Die Dokumentation zeigt, wie leicht Nutzer ins Visier von Stalkern, Kriminellen oder Geheimdiensten geraten können.

I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

10/10 no notes.

Day 4. A response, finally. The usual clown message: Review failed. Well, the "clown message" is the one in the attached graphic: They don't know themselves. Something something link, but they don't know which. Or, in other words: "These URLs host malware or unwanted software downloads: None". 🤦‍♂️

If that's how reliable their services are, maybe they should NOT hold the keys to the entire Internet (and app stores)? 🤔

Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

In January when Trump was about to invade Greenland, a considerable force of Danish Dragoons, special forces soldiers of the Jaeger corp, and french Alpine Hunters, were deployed, alongside Danish F-35 fighter jets, and French Navy vessels.

Blood supplies were flown in, and airstrips were rigged with explosives to prevent insertion of American forces.

The Kingdom has prepared for war two times in 100 years: Against Hitler in 1940, and Trump in 2026.

Danmark forberedte sig på muligt angreb fra USA: Fløj poser med blod til Grønland og gjorde klar til at sprænge landingsbaner i luften

Nøglekilder i Danmark og Europa fortæller nu for første gang, hvad der skete i de mest kritiske dage, hvor Donald Trump truede med at tage Grønland "på den hårde måde".

Tell Meta: Keep Encryption for Instagram Messages

Meta has quietly said it will end support for encrypted messaging on Instagram in a matter of weeks. Encryption helps ensure that your messages stay between you and the person with whom you're communicating. When end-to-end encryption is enabled, no one – not even Meta – can snoop on you.

Right now, hundreds of millions of people use Instagram to message friends, family, and communities. Privacy should be a default feature of the technology we rely on every day – not an optional extra, and not something that quietly disappears. That's why we're asking Meta to reverse its decision and continue to support encryption on Instagram.

Mozilla supporters have successfully forced Meta to change its apps' policies to support privacy before. If enough people add their names to our petition, we can do it again – and this time, we'll protect encryption on Instagram.

Eine der absolut besten Sachen ist, dass junge Menschen dir heutzutage als kleine Aufmerksamkeitsgeste sagen, dass du Wasser trinken sollst. Was meine Generation so nicht gelernt hat.

Bonuspunkte für Schulen/Lehrkräfte, die das Trinken im Unterricht verbieten. Hört doch bitte mit dem Quatsch auf! 😑

Watching how some package written in Go builds I have a feeling that sooner or later Linux distros will require more and more storage for rootfs.

Who needs shared libraries when you can compile everything into static binaries?

Everyone should have 54 copies of XYZ in a filesystem.

4MB tarball of package sources + 20MB tarball of 'vendoring'...

And it is not only Go.

Of course the review failed (as usual, without a notification mail). Now they pick random APK files: remove one, then it's the next. Until the repo is empty, I guess. Snippet updated.

Disable "Safe" browsing, it's snake oil as you can see. We've been libeled now many times, always false positives. See https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/4909577#notes-on-how-to-disable-google-safebrowsing-in-browsers-on-android for how to disable it.

Of course all our APKs have been scanned, multiple times, with many engines. They're clean. Says even G's own scanner.
