Android app that reveals installed apps which may be leaking your location data.
ninjaturtle ( @ninjaturtle@lemmy.today ) English7•1 month agoI get a blank screen. Broken or does that mean I have none? On GrapheneOS
It means you have none

Nate ( @alphapuggle@programming.dev ) English6•1 month agoUgh flightradar24 is a hit. Really??
youmaynotknow ( @jjlinux@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 month agoI don’t need this app to know flightradar is a risk.

raver ( @ravermeister@lemmy.rimkus.it ) 5•1 month agoI was surprised to see SoundCloud on the list, now I have to recreate my music list in newpipe 😁
Kayana ( @Kayana@ttrpg.network ) 4•1 month agoI’ve got several hits, but none of them have permission to request my location. If I understand the README correctly, that should mean I’m safe, right?
Showroom7561 ( @Showroom7561@lemmy.ca ) 1•1 month agoLocation could also imply IP address-based location, and not necessarily GPS.
Kayana ( @Kayana@ttrpg.network ) 7•1 month agoTrue, but at that point, every website I’ll ever visit and have visited in the past might be a threat, so that doesn’t really matter too much to me.

In that sense, you are right. However, there are ways to cloak your IP address and location.
Privacy is a massive rabbit hole depending on what threat you are trying to protect yourself from. Sometimes, the effort (and the stuff that breaks along the way) isn’t worth it.
If location implies an area extending 300 km in either direction, does it really matter? To most people, not really.
