Back in June, I saw a pre-print paper from Google about which APIs Malicious/Ad SDKs use on Android to fingerprint and track users. This made me want to respond with an article about how Apple is much better at privacy but I ended up writing an article about the iOS equivalents for fingerprinting users.

Für mich ist die AfD der allerletzte Dreck - aber solche Nachrichten erklären zumindest warum die Leute meinen "mal was Anderes" probieren zu müssen.
Spahn, Scholz, von der Leyen, Amthor, ...alle trifft eine besondere Schuld für den Untergang jeglichen Vertrauens in die Politik.
These days "not evil" feels like a higher standard than it used to be.
I am using Brave+Enpass. It works but the experience isn't stellar either.
pgdog sounds quite interesting ... got any real world experience comparing it to pgbouncer?
“I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.
So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy.
Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service.
Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s”

They better update. I thought those are now "war agencies" 😅 😔 (sarcasm)
Die Debatte um ein Mindestalter für Social Media geht am Problem vorbei: die Gefahren hören ja nicht mit 16 oder 18 auf - ganz im Gegenteil.
Der Vergleich zum Glücksspiel ist treffender, als diejenigen ahnen, die ihn verwenden:
* zutiefst korruptes Geschäftsmodell
* große Schäden für die Gesellschaft
* Mindestalter LEGITIMIERT das Geschäftsmodell und seine Opfer sind „selbst schuld.“
So wird der Missstand zementiert, statt an der Wurzel eliminiert.
