This rant about Microsoft controlling TypeScript and through that, re-centralising the whole Javascript ecosystem, is very interesting to me

because

I have always been suspicious of Typescript just because it's *compiled*. It doesn't feel like compilation is native to the interpreted, distributed, Javascript model. It's a single point of trust that doesn't need to be there, a class division that can be exploited.

And welp. Looks like that's exactly what's happening!

This new paper shows the massive failure of GDPR/e-Privacy enforcement on apps:

* 81,4% of Android apps contacted a tracking domain during start (before consent)
* 86.1% of Android apps could access the AdId
* Children apps have an increased prevalence of sharing the Ad-ID than average

And: No clear winner between iOS and Android regarding privacy

so many people convinced they are "building the future" are actually just rehashing the present and the past. like every new supposedly planet-scale system that is ASCII only on some level, or the cryptocurrency community who's wildest dreams for a future society still involve money, hierarchy, wealth disparity, centralized control. this isn't progress.

Ahora resulta que mandar cartas-bomba a "lldefonso Salazar, seguidor de Herri Batasuna" (@el_pais@twitter.com del 21/9/89) "era mandarlas a ETA". Se os olvida titular que esa carta-bomba mató a José Antonio Cardosa González, un joven cartero de 22 años. Otra más para el #relatodepetete

TIL that iphones regularly transmit the Mac addresses of devices attached to the same WiFi network to Apple. In addition to their geographical location of course.

So essentially you can be tracked across all locations where an iPhone is near you (and you haven't disabled your WiFi).

Wow.
