It's not just fun stuff that you can do with linux on mobile phones, like testing out experimental kernels or deal with call daemons.

You can also do "boring" stuff like, doing cliché tourism with #gnome #maps on the phone to guide you, take pictures along the way :)

And submit data to #BeaconDB along the way using #geoclue #stumbler (https://gitlab.com/kop316/geoclue-stumbler) by: @kop316

Nachtrag zum #diday: Dank #beacondb habe ich nun ganz ohne #gafam eine Standortbestimmung abseits vom GPS.

@BryanGreyson I'd forgotten about BeaconDB still don't understand how it works, I couldn't find OpenFoodDB did you mean Open Food Facts? And I love and contribute to OSM

I am currently researching at the FSFE for FreeYourAndroid on the topic of microG.

If you use microG, how have you installed it? Or was it already there?

(User app can come from F-Droid repo too)

Yep, ini perjalanan terpanjang saya tahun ini; 12 jam perjalanan darat dan belum sampai tujuan, sinyal BTS tidak dapat diharapkan. Sampai jumpa beberapa hari lagi.

#beaconDB

Als Custom-ROM Nutzer setze ich bei der Standortermittlung in Gebäuden auf #beacondb von @beacondb .

Vielleicht haben ja noch andere Lust beim Vervollständigen der Karte zu helfen (beim #Radfahren oder Spazierengehen). #Oldenburg sieht schon ganz gut aus.

🤔 Oh, what a thrilling tale of #subprojects within subprojects! Matthew bravely embarks on an epic quest to understand something that could have been explained in two sentences. 🦸‍♂️ Meanwhile, #beaconDB trembles under the weight of its own irrelevance. 📡

You can contribute to the #freesoftware movement even if you don't know how to write #code here's some practical examples:

1. @beacondb & #Neostumbler

BeaconDB is community-driven wireless geolocation database that serves as a replacement for Mozilla Location Services (MLS), which was discontinued in March 2024.

why is this project important?

because #Google collects extensive location data tied to user accounts for advertising and profiling (even if you turn off location history) Google doesn't understand consent, what a surprise! :blob_rollingeyes:

BeaconDB will provide privacy friendly geolocation, allowing #degoogled #android ROMs like #CalyxOS and #GrapheneOS to be used without relying on Google (Google's location services)

Neostumbler is an #opensource android app, that collects geolocation data from wireless signals such as Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, and Bluetooth beacons, NS does not collect personal identifying information, only anonymized wireless signal data and it can be turned off at any time. (can't say the same for Google)

you can start contributing to BeaconDB simply by downloading and installing NeoStumbler, enabling GPS, open NS and start a scan, start walking or driving, and after you cross a certain distance, you'll see some generated reports, press upload to upload them all (you can also go to settings and enable automatic uploading in the background)

If you want to volunteer and help us free our phones, laptops and smart watches from corporate ecosystems (like Google's location services) and achieve digital sovereignty in the aspect of geolocation, take a look at these links
