Just saw this on F-Droid (well actually on IzzySoft) and thought I’d pass it along. Haven’t tried it, please don’t kill the messenger, just sharing…
“⚠DO NOT HARASS ANYONE AT ALL⚠”
Unless they are perverts, nazis, racists, sexists, zionists, dodgy politicians, ai users…
All pretty safe bets considering that they’re wearing it anyways despite the mass rejection to it – like cybertrucks. Lol
It’s a good idea for them to say this. It’s “cover your ass” language. They aren’t responsible if you decide to harass someone. They explicitly told users not to.
While it’s a nice thought, I prefer to have my BT disabled so I’m not being scanned by nearby APs or other networks tracking me too. It’s kind of a catch 22.
Reminds to glasshole, an art project from 2014 that detected the presence of Google Glass and kicked it off the wifi network
Such a great name
I’m amused by all the “don’t harass people!” disclaimers.
I tried this a couple of months ago. The app will not stay running in the background on Android.
Not running, not scanning.
The OS is probably optimizing it away, there might be a setting under battery management or app deep sleep that stops the OS from killing it, but it’s gonna use a bunch more battery, too. I think this is a simple enough thing that a little esp could do it instead of a whole phone app
I tweaked several settings in the OS.
Under Mobile Data for the app I allowed “background data” and “unrestricted mobile data usage”
And under battery “unrestricted” and “allow background usage”.
After all that I can’t keep the app running. 🤷
