You can actually change this in your settings. You will absolutely be able to find something of your taste. Usually your phone generates a few combinations for you to choose from based on your wallpaper. I do agree that this particular combination in this screenshot is ugly however.
Looks fake as fuck, My calculator app doesn’t need any permission
In normal Android, I don’t think internet access counts as a permission, nor does basic data collection.
Congratulations? If you use anything beyond stock apps it means you downloaded it, and accepted the privacy policy for it. Even with automatic updates, you logged in and accepted the policy as well. You don’t want it? Erase the app. Freeze it, don’t use it, whatever.
What’s worse is that you don’t even show the permission menu, you just show a notification.
Do what you want, but take at least responsibility for what you accept
That the stock app from my phone. Since a year the manufacturer started to update stock apps and they started to ask more and more permissions. It reached levels so bad that I am looking at the fairphones but I don’t have the money yet. Maybe in a few months or a year. You are very agressive, I hope you fine and if you go thru hard time, keep the head up it will be better later.
A car is parked at the far end of the street. Hidden by the shadow of an old elm, and a reflection of the blue sky on the windshield, an agent patiently writes out his notes:
8:15 am A leaves house on foot 8:17 am B arrives driving and parks car (license plate: GYX 455), walks away 8:40 am B arrives, enters house 9:20 am A arrives on foot, leaves in car
This is called a stakeout. A form of surveillance.
IT folks will also recognize this as analytics data. You can almost see the json: timestamp, event name, metadata
As analytics data gets tagged to individuals, it becomes targeted surveillance.
Regular analytics is like a surveillance camera: you just see each person in a snapshot, all in the same place. You’re seeing the story of the place. Like a 7-Eleven, tracking when its customers come to decide when to make the coffee.
But modern analytics is more and more all the events about a person or cluster of people. That’s a lot more like the FBI following Hemingway, keeping a log of all his activities to build a profile.
Someone worked to make that app, either you pay for it with money or you pay for it with privacy, your choice.
You’re getting downvoted because many people’s brains are so tiny they think if you explain something then you obviously love it
How tiny does a brain need to be to make this comment on a platform that is free and open source?
Yeah see it’s super solid logic – if someone explains something then they LOVE it. They fully embrace the way that it is and WANT IT TO BE THAT WAY FOREVER. Explanations really can only be traced back to evil intent.
Why didn’t every privacy concerned people switched to foss already?
I’ve been on Calculator++ for ages now. The UI looks a bit different, but it seems like they do all the same things.
Tossing it out there as another option.
Realistically because it takes time and effort to integrate foss and self hosted solutions a lot people don’t have the energy or know how to do.
You don’t have to be purist, just aware. There’s a lot of spectrum between using foss apps alternatives and self hosting next cloud.
