Idk what it takes for you guys,
but realizing that your weather app is tracking you, to sell your location data, is certainly a bar i do snap' at.

Working on more minecraft stuff again today and then spend the afternoon inspecting and yeeting apps of my phone.
Found this open source attempt at a ios and android weather app, https://ossweather.akylas.fr/ OSS Weather and on Linux i found: "Mousam" which is very nice

edit: wrong app screenshotted #updated img

Kraggle09 • 2026-09-15 15:25:58

Edit: I see the fixed image now, that’s definitely crossing a line.

It’s all able to be opted out of, and it’s not being sold. It’s standard product improvement analytics. It’s more like the person going to the mayor and saying “hey this person couldn’t find LOCATION, we should add a sign for it”. Unless I’m missing something in the privacy policy.

Kraggle09 oh wait, duh it “tracks your location” how else does it tell you the weather?

Metapher: Asking a local person on the street for directions and then both going their own separate ways VS asking for directions once, and then they follow you, while keeping notes, where you go and what you wear.

Kraggle09 I mean, that’s only if you have analytics enabled in iOS settings, right? Since Weather is a system app?

This is like a super lowball and harmless example, but..

i swear researching for projects and trying to find authentic and real references gets like.. harder and harder every year. When google and co are just flooded with 10 altered versions + ai recreations of a real place. So frustrating, like having to analyse every image if its real or not...

Looking for nature photography contest websites may also be a good way to find "natural" images (often photoshopped though).

DOOMSTRYKER • 2026-09-14 09:22:20

I agree with you on this one. I want to see REAL untouched pictures of REAL Earth for my builds! Not something regurgitated by AI. I want to see the true beauty of our world.

LG IS SOOO DONE.

On my recent TV with invasive ACR post.
Its apparently way worse.

-They are insecure( with unpatched 0Day & RCE's), botnet enabling, data scrapers, analyzing you, your network, your surroundings, your neighbors. Nothing is save. And neither is the data it captures, because they store it all in LOGS and send off. To a firm LG doesnt even fully control.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
You can have EVERYTHING denied. And they still profile you. May they crash and burn and get sued to hell.

This is not LG only - samsung, hisense, tcl, sony, vizio etc do that ship very very like tooI hope this whole add/tech burns to the ground one day.

McMeddon • 2026-09-09 12:53:28

Oh yea im pissed!
Linux: Was 100% Worth it! Let me give you my 7-8 months intro knowledge:

GET VENTOY for install! You can try first without even installing (usb), or try it on a secondary pc/laptop or in a VM.
Debian/Ubuntu (lts), Fedora(mid cycle) or CachyOS (latest) with KDE (win like) or Gnome (mac like) is just 95% you need.
Do 1 OS per system, dualboot Linux+Win possible, but can be a real hassle especially when something breaks.
Dont trust google serp results, i bricked my system once or twice.

Main limits, currently VM's on linux have no native GPU passthrough support, limited support for various proprietary (video/audio-) codecs h265, mpeg or aac. Ms native/locked programs, Mc Bedrock, games with kernel anti cheat, Adobe programs, and niche proprietary programs. Most windows programs are possible to run with bottles/wine or winboat. 80/20 chance.

On the privacy note - tip:
For you iPhone users check out this research/inspection tool: Loupe
Showcases how fingerprinting on ordinary data points, can reveal your interests, habits and circumstances.

Its amazing, got labled gamer, purely on the basis that i had twitch installed KEKW
But also put me into the Privacy bucket, because i had Signal and Proton apps.

I figured out that 1/1000 images of mine had a geotag (grrrrr).
I also learned that my phone has a barometer?!

int32 so there may be apps stealing your barometric information? creepy! (I have no idea what they could infer from THAT!)
McMeddon • 2026-09-08 15:07:22

barometer is like to meassure air pressure. Apparently its for:

Vertical GPS and floor detection.
Fittness tracking (the movement changes) + Activity recognition.
Part of weather analytics, if your local pressure drops it could warn about rain.
Oh for paragliding apps when you fly in the mountains.

Mc unrelated: Does anyone of you guys have a TV?
Cute reminder TURN OFF ACR AND OTHER SETTINGS: all your TV's track/monitor/spy on you for advertisement/user-profiling by capturing your screens c:

Samsung, TCL, LG, Roku, Vizio, Sony.. basically all do ACR, they know when&what you watch, play, or when you do work or shop

(On the LG G5, identifiable ACR-related traffic)

MerBatPhan89 • 2026-09-06 12:21:17

Good thing I don't use any of those streaming services as I prefer physical media, and for YouTube I use Newpipe/Pipepipe which blocks all the annoying ads and prevents my data from being sold to Google.

New world map before GTA6 lul

The UN voted for a new map projection to be used - Bye Bye Mercator, hello equal earth c:
New one comes with better country proportions and doesnt exxagerates the polar regions as much

also only now I noticed that mercator freacking placed the equator line into Algeria instead of Gabon, DRC, Kenya etc. wth xD

webdev stuff i learned today.
Was kinda confused why there were these random path requests for my site and investigated a bit.
- There are automated reconnaissance bots casually skimming through the web searching for access points / logins to webservers or backends to attack (knew about that)
- What i didnt yet know was one way how they do that, supposedly this is a "asset fingerprinting", trying to get a response from hidden web server/pages which usually doesnt respond or straightup blocks that stuff, but regardless of request sends like favicons/logos of the login page and therefor giving like a "positive" response back.

Aside the project updates today, i finished yesterday "The Biome Composition"
Kinda a mixture of what biome is included and how big the share is, and now wondering if i can add that to my pmc project pages maybe..hmm.

https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20251214-advent-map-14#biome-composition

Also the amount of water % is craaazy, like yes my worlds are surrounded by water but it never felt like 40-50+%, more like 20-25%, i wonder if i should move the rivers to surface biomes, so the water doesnt get "over represented. But then its like xD "top" biome like whaaa

Rivers being so high mainly derives from the fact, that the "river and river banks" both classify as one biome, so they are a "little" larger than actually seen. Wondering how i should handle that ..

first (partial) solar eclipse + sunset experienced.

- its weirdly hard to grasp in the moment as you balance the *stare into the sun* with *not doing that* because: the sun is a deadly laser~
- that small ball casually covering an object 370x larger than itself lol
- or like: people have been there just a few months ago like what.

time to share my fav video about cosmic distance ladders and how some mega brains did the math like 500..1000.. and 2000 years ago #damn
