"Ask App Not to Track"
Wondering what's actually happening under the hood with the app tracking changes in iOS 14.5? I did some research and wrote a thing!

Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud
The cloud gives us collaboration, but old-fashioned apps give us ownership. Can’t we have the best of both worlds?
We would like both the convenient cross-device access and real-time collaboration provided by cloud apps, and also the personal ownership of your own data embodied by “old-fashioned” software.
This is a very in-depth look at the mindset and the challenges involved in building truly local-first software—something that Tantek has also been thinking about.

At #IIW session on “Is #selfsovereignidentity really possible”, @xmlgrrl Eve Maler offers perhaps the most concise definition of of #privacy I’ve ever heard: “Privacy is context-controlled choice and respect.” Beautiful. And I believe actually possible with #SSI.

Twitter has no idea how old I am, but got my interests down pretty well. The list of advertisers targeting me is pretty fun to browse through too.

Interesting you mark this section of it, this part also stood out to me. As a l... | Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com)
At first, it was striking that one day I booked a flight and then about two weeks later, my dashboard mentioned to me that I should leave 40 minutes early for my flight because of a traffic accident. It knew my flight information, when I should leave, and routes to the airport. I followed Google's suggestion and made it to the airport on time, taking an alternate route Google displayed for me. Once I landed, Google updated my dashboard about the currency exchange, surrounding events, restaurant reviews, foreign news, and more... it "knew" I wasn't home anymore, but across the world. It was initially strange, but with more trips and more experiences, I grew to like that Google could give me handy data.
