Pretty sure that shit has the same name as the things Musk keeps blowing up tho?

Precisely this.

The user is free to use whatever they want but I’m quite sure windows won’t read their mind either so that argument (if you dare to call it that) is pretty much weightless.

I struggled with terminal blocking me from doing anything unless I run right commands

Lmao are you serious? Did you struggle with it not opening the right applications unless you click the right icons as well?

Well to be fair, there's no export feature on BeaconDB yet... But that's being worked on, Joel, the dev, is still a little unsure about how that data should be handled in regards to AP owner and contributor privacy I think

BeaconDB has been a thing for a while now and there is a decent amount of data already... but ideally you'd want it to be reliable in as many places as possible.

You can also use it as your location provider with geoclue (default on heaps of Linux distros) and microG on Android which I find incredibly useful on my Laptop!

So please, if you have an Android phone, consider contributing. It literally takes seconds to set up and requires no account or API keys.

This section on the official website lists some awesome apps to use:

NeoStumbler

  • user friendly app for easily submitting new coverage
  • download on F-Droid or GitHub
  • as of version 1.5.1, just click yes when prompted to set the endpoint to beaconDB
    • for older versions: in Settings -> Endpoint -> Suggested services, select beaconDB to automatically apply the correct configuration

Tower Collector

  • long established app for collecting cell towers
  • download on F-Droid or Google Play
  • the latest versions of Tower Collector upload to beaconDB by default!

Network Survey new!

  • robust tool for comprehensive local data collection
  • download on F-Droid or Google Play
  • on the main screen, under Upload to Database, open Upload Settings to enable submitting data to beaconDB

As a bonus, here are my current NeoStumbler stats after a few days of mapping here in the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main region in Germany :)

Ladybird is certainly interesting to watch, it's improving quite quickly.

I know people on here hate it because of one (admittedly not at all nice) gender issue in the codes comments but like... seriously?

How come it's always you when I see posts glorifying alcohol?

Mostly stopped fucking around with stuff once I switched to fedora which seriously just works.

But then, every couple of months, I just feel the need to try something new. So I grab my 2nd laptop and start installing some esoteric distro, configure everything, even sign in to my online accounts, just to never touch that laptop again until I want to try the next weird distro.

Yeah people are fuckin dickheads no matter where they're from unfortunately

But there are enough people who don't manage to think this far, resulting in cases like this one being perfect promotional material for right wing parties
