I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn't scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn't work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?
Sometimes I do wonder as a morbid curiosity if using their software could have a privacy benefit. Not to imply that they wouldn't spy, just that they have less ability to act on the information. Like the report of a mother discussing an abortion with her teen daughter on messenger were Meta turned over the chats.
Also as a snide comment the CCCP is the Soviet Union, which is defunct now. One less C and you might improve your standing and get a television.
Not even snide I hate making mistakes like this, thanks man.
Idk about privacy, I doubt it, but at least the weather system sucks. Fetches info from some system which clearly isn't the same data as my local, more accurate forecasts.
