I have Microsoft Teams and Outlook apps installed on my phone because I need them to do my job. I use gmail, google calendar, and google maps because they work and are accessible anywhere I need them. I am certainly aware of the tradeoffs and use more privacy friendly alternatives on my own PC for things I need to do privately. The VPN DNS block lists running on my phone make it so the Microsoft apps barely function as it is.

Woof. Every time I open a Word doc at work, I now get a pop up saying I’ve disabled location services in my system settings. Why the fuck does Microsoft need to know my location for opening a Word doc?!
