You can self host location sharing. I do it with Nextcloud. Home assistant can do it too.

you are sharing your location with a greedy company [...] and then the highest bidder access this information

Pretty sure I read it.

You can do location sharing WITHOUT interacting with any "greedy company" or "highest bidder".

Then you state...

if you run nextcloud and that addon I don’t remember, or reitti, at home and use that, and you keep is somewhat safe*

and I confirm that you can do it in Nextcloud, and ALSO Home Assistant... as Home assistant is also likely to be something people are running.

I think you didn’t read my comment

I think that you think that everyone who ever comments to your post is always arguing against you.

Edit: missed a couple of words.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you then.

I don't think that I think that way. I was responding that because the way the way you said seemed to be more of intending to write new information, than a confirmation.
