CIRCLE WITH A DOT

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/

The other half of this is that I've been messing with a-Shell which runs on iOS and can run command line stuff, (including Python scripts) and you can use Apple Shortcuts to run CLI stuff via a-Shell on iOS so yeah, that's pretty neat!I feel like some of the scripting stuff I always wanted to do on iOS is possible. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-shell/id1473805438https://github.com/holzschu/a-shell#apple #iOS

@czarbucks This is the number one reason I have not updated any of my Apple devices. I have two iPads, one iPhone, a laptop, and a desktop Mac.

2) I wasn't using external HDD for a couple of minutes and #macos decided to disconnect / power it down for some absurd reason which showing this lovely error… of course the drive still blinks activity led, but the worst thing is that re-connecting it doesn't help and only restart seems to help… of course crapware `diskutil list` doesn't do nothing and just get stuck because it can't access the drive… for crying out loud why the FUCK even you disconnect the drive if I have it connected to MPB which is hooked to power source and not running on battery?! argh!I'm THIIIISS close to whiping this crap out of existence and putting Fedora on it =,= (sadly can't as I need access to macos ;( )#rant #apple #macos

@NeunMalKlug Irgendwo habe ich gelesen, dass wenn man sich fragt, ob 8GB RAM genug sind, man nicht die Zielgruppe dafür ist. Das kann ich so unterschreiben.Aber ich habe seit dem Plastik-Core2Duo-Macbook keinen so guten Versuch mehr von Apple gesehen, den Low-Cost-Bereich beim Mac zu beackern.Sehr scharf mit Schülern / jungen Studenten als Zielgruppe. Das Ding, das du in der High School kaufst und ins College mit nimmst.

@xavier Can't go wrong with Gala, personally
