So it sounds like Google went for more privacy than expected, making the trackers less useful, but making it less likely to reveal other people's location.

The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.

But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?

To me, this just sounds like the network isn't rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don't use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.

It could very well be the case.

tl;dr? Article is too long.

Apple network is not super reliable either. I've seen videos of people using them in crowded cities and you'll only ever get a ping every couple of hours.

I thought the Apple network and the new Android network work together? Meaning it just work just as well as an apple tag

Fuck me, ads much?

Time to set connect to open all urls in Firefox.

What do you mean; is "connect" some sort of URL-filtering service?

Interesting. Can you comment/post using it, though? The description makes it out to be just a reader app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it's fully featured. No bugs that I am aware of.

I can't find anything about this actually being open-source, so I'm inclined to stick to Boost for Lemmy by Mayayo...
