Are you using the App Store to manage apps on your Mac?
You may want to reconsider.

Using Apple’s App Store might feel convenient, but it comes with hidden privacy costs. Every app you download is tied to your Apple ID, creating a detailed profile of your habits, interests, and behavior.

In this video, I expose the risks of using the App Store on your Mac, and teach you how to use Homebrew, a powerful, privacy-respecting alternative. Set it up with no tracking. No Apple ID. Just full control over what you install.
