Privacy weather app? (leminal.space)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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).

You're the second to suggest it. Just got it installed, and it looks really sleek. I'm a fan. I like the widgets too.

It also has quite nice integration with Kvaesitso launcher.

Not a hurricane tracker, but I'd like understand a bit about open-meteo and breezy weather. I notice for my country there's no way to be more specific than the whole country, therefore location needs to be enable, or so I guess.

Does open-meteo requires some information exchange such that it's easy to identify the user/device? Does breezy weather actually attempts to anonymize the user or fake it to make them non identifiable?

Just wondering.

Thanks !
