Hi all, I've just moved to social.lol from a self-hosted instance, so it's time
for an updated #introduction

One of my big passions is writing: I have a personal website @
https://kedara.eu where I #blog, tend a #DigitalGarden and web weave a #wiki ,
and try to contribute to the #Indieweb #smallweb communities.

I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm
trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to
be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras
#BhagavataPurana which greatly inspire me.

I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of outdoor
#AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a
work account (and any opinions are my own).

I love #photography and am slowly getting back into #AnalogPhotography again,
mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds #trees and other beautiful moments,
people and things. I love the #forest, I'm grateful to live at the edge of the
beautiful #Veluwe nature area.

Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22,
so some of my hobbies are in "partial maintenance mode".

Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!

CMPs sollten Nutzer vor Tracking schützen. In der Praxis legalisieren sie es.

Genervtes "Akzeptieren" statt informierter Einwilligung. Lizenzkosten und Haftung bei kleinen Website-Betreibenden. Compliance-Abteilungen bei den Konzernen, deren Tracking der eigentliche Anlass war.

Ein Regulierungs-Kompromiss zugunsten der Werbeindustrie. Wie es dazu kam und wie es ohne CMP geht:
