do any apps even use the Approximate Location feature (instead of the precise one) that Android or iOS allow?
I remember most apps not working at all and instead requesting for precise location instead.
Is that feature just privacy-washing?

The #ODNI [Russian asset #TulsiGabbard] is working on a system to centralize & “streamline” the use of commercially available information, or #CAI, like #location data derived from mobile ads, by American spy agencies, acc/to contract documents reviewed by The Intercept. The #data portal will include #information deemed by ODNI as highly sensitive, that which can be “misused to cause substantial harm, embarrassment, & inconvenience to US persons.”

Other govt #databases contain secret #whistleblower data. At the Dept of #Veterans Affairs, you’ll find granular #MentalHealth info on fmr service members, including notes from #therapy sessions, details about #medication, & accounts of substance abuse.

#SaudiArabia Buys #PokémonGo, and Probably All of Your #Location Data
Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund bought most popular #AR #videogame of all time, with collective worldwide player base of over 100 million people.
An already very complicated and vast location data ecosystem that was controlled by one #American company (#Niantic) has now become a far more complicated location data ecosystem controlled by an “American” comp wholly owned by Saudi Arabian conglomerate.

Where is the rightful birthplace of hockey? Depends who you ask
The first organized game was played in Montreal back in 1875. But people in Délı̨nę, N.W.T., Windsor, NS., and Quebec City have different opinions.

Dans un peu moins d'un mois, j'ai l'état des lieux de sortie de l'appartement dont je suis locataire depuis 2011 (à Lyon). L'agence est Foncia, et c'est Constatimmo qui va faire l'état des lieux de sortie.
Ce qu'on lit sur le web à propos de Constatimmo fait peur (état des lieux sur tablette numérique qui ne garantit donc pas une modification après qu'on l'a signé, frais importants imputés aux locataires, etc.).
Si vous êtes passés par là, je suis preneur de tout conseil pour éviter de me faire arnaquer ou pour me défendre.
J'anticipe déjà que ça va être la bataille pendant plusieurs mois pour récupérer mon dépôt de garantie et contester les frais qui vont m'être imputés.
Je vais essayer de prendre rendez-vous auprès de l'ADIL d'ici l'état des lieux pour avoir des conseils sur certains points précis.
Knowledge of (chinese) warships
When MH370 disappeared, the world, I think was surprised that 'we' didn't know the exact #location of all large aircraft all the time. [We got #satellites and shit, surely nothing goes untracked these days innit?]
Of course, who is 'we'? That matters hugely. If 'we' is 'Le Main Rouge', then that's Not Good™. But if 'we' is 'Responsible custodians of the International Rules-Based System' then ... yay ... I suppose.
OK, so, somewhere just up the road from me, at HQJOC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headquarters_Joint_Operations_Command_(Australia)), there is a person whose job it is to know; the positions, the operational status, the names and litter-tray preferences of the ships' cats, ... of the Chinese fleet. I suppose the size of the task has grown so much lately that they now have a sizeable staff. Or maybe, there is a person who is authorised to type into a box (perhaps labeled 'Five Eyes LLM, ask me anything!'): What is the disposition of the Chinese fleet?
No-one outside the #HQJOC would be allowed to say what they do, or do not do inside that box. We must trust that they are the CIRBS.
Drawing my long bow: If a prole like me wanted to know the disposition of the Chinese/USA/Australian ... fleet, and had an MH370-style all-in, all sources of information, BellingCat approach - how much is knowable?

Word of The Hour's Annual Survey @ https://wordofthehour.org/r/form
So using a non-google maps app is possible & probably a good idea. Giving your location to google is not safe going forward.
Been using & experimenting with some & I think you might want to find some too.

What's everyone using for mapping these days? If I need to recommend mapping and routing tools to someone who doesn't need to have their plans broadcast to the world, do I hand them paper and a magnifying glass? Or is there something decent that leaves me in control?

The US is now under a #fascist #authoritarian #regime. Here's some #safety tips.
Avoid using a mobile #phone in #conservative states. Disable #location services. Always use a #VPN. Consider all #corporate #online service to be potential #security risk.
Stock up on #hormones and #medications. Keep a bag with everything you need to #survive at least 3-5 days.
