So it doesn't simply supply the generated palette from the system? (I never tried implementing Material You)

Ah alright, so it is a problem because it can be used as another bit of information to construct a more refined fingerprint of the user?

[-] Aduentix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Uhm.. yeah..., sure, could certainly be another data point for that. I think you can also set static colora thought.

Yes, though now that the option exists setting it to anything would discriminate you from the group that set it the other way, I assume that the OP also considered that as problematic

I didn't throw rocks at Material You for being an actual privacy leak but just thinking about the fact that it gives a reason for users to want to use a custom wallpaper instead of default or unicolor I woild have fell for it if I was not already aware of that WallpaperColors API
