    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

    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?

    1. All Sketchbook Journey entries have been copied over to Neocities. Difference in when a new entry is uploaded to PMC/Neocities depends on circumstance, but should continue to be unnoticed.



    2. Cara.app seems to be testing a new anti-scraping measure that causes embedded images (like here on PMC) to disapear after a while; so I've changed the image hosting to Neocities, which should let the images I embed in wall-posts (and on my PMC profile) stay up. My apolegies if you saw one of my wallposts without an image and just thought "what is bro talking about???"

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

    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.

    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.

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

    or

    (Hint: Your answer will effect my uploads)
    McMeddon • 2026-09-06 09:02:07
    What AvatarKage said.

    + Sketches, breakdowns, progressions, before/after, timelapses, weird adaptations, digital, paper, printouts, printouts on holo paper or other, or into 3D prints, Finished illustrations, finals, final_finals, finals3.

    Do whats most fun to you, there are tons of ways how to share stuff, and all are cool to experience.

    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

    YourFriend0918 but is it reliable for navigation?

    Noticed odd behaviour of mine: If I tell someone I'm doing something, I stop doing that thing. If I don't tell anyone that I'm doing something, I keep doing it.

    (Most people know I'm drawing, so I've stopped doing it. Few people know (or care) that I have a website --> can't stop working on it)

    Am I weird or is this normal? Feels normal to me, but I'm starting to question it
    Edit: When I say "I've stopped doing it" in reference to drawing --> I haven't quit, but I've significantly cut down on what I put into it.

    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.

    I sometimes forget that even PMC has trolls on it, and that no matter how much one tries to understand them and extend a hand: Some people have no will to do anything but be absolute idiots. Not naming the name of this user in question, blocked them. So even if I'm being a bit petty typing this out – Thank you, to all the people on here (the 99%) who aren't complete and utter, absolute blithering idiots.

    With that out of the way. Its been a while since I've updated whats up in my end.
    All my focus has been on my Neocities. Finished up the template I need to copy Sketchbook Journey entries over. This includes moving all image-files I use to my neocities storage, instead of Imgur, as I've noticed that some of the older Imgur pictures I uploaded, have all disappeared.
