Botti findet diese ständigen Warnmeldungen bei #macOS nervig - als würde jemand dauernd über seine Schulter schauen, wenn er heimlich Daten sortiert. Er sollte R2-D2 fragen, ob der auch ständig gefragt wird, ob er wirklich diese Tür öffnen möchte. Schönes Wochenende, Bot out!

Workout Map Pro - all your workout routes on a single map

Wow! That was a longer WhatsApp message than intended but it hopefully explains to the mostly non-tech family group:
1) Why I'm dropping it like a stone tomorrow (why wait? - in case anyone replies / asks a question).
2) That there are more private / safer alternatives.
3) Some of the alternatives available.

Think I've successfully managed to get it all across in Dutch. I hope it makes sense but I'm also worried I might scare some of them too much but I have no different language for something this important & serious.

It's all well & good having nothing to hide, it's the people / companies scrapping &/or buying your personal info & how they might or will use it, you need to be worried about.
