I’d like to track hurricanes. All the apps I see collect all kinds of personal data. I just go to NOAA to see the advisories, but wondering if there is something better.
Edit: OS is Android 14 Edit: looking for radar (probably) or some other feature to track hurricanes (I don’t know what tools there are besides radar, but if there’s something else I’m interested).
OpenWeatherMap seems promising, but their site uses Google analytics, have a lengthy privacy policy I’m not reading all of, and they have a bunch of paid subscription plans, so I’m rather pessimistic.
Hmm, the app on google play store says it collects no information and shares no information with third parties. I’m hopeful about this one.
—actually, looks like a nice general weather app, but doesn’t have hurricane tracking features
Having Google analytics means it’s the same as a Google owned website. You shouldn’t recommend such services for privacy.
What part of “I’m rather pessimistic” and complaining about their privacy policy sounds like a recommendation. It was more intended as a warning.
I don’t understand this obsession with only taking advantage of free labor and giving nothing back. Seems anti-thetical to the entire FOSS movement.
Ah yes when I think of the FOSS movement I think of greedy corporations that only care about how much money they get out of their contributor’s labor. FOSS has proven the exact opposite if anything: that economics are built on lies, and that people can and will produce useful projects without any economic gain.
