After you’re in the field for long enough, you start to realise that the structure and flaws in the application mimic the structure and flaws of the reporting structure of the organisation

I literally work in wifi networks and deal with this issue every day.

The IT guys at work are really unhappy with how much our teams shit all over 2.4, 5ghz and 6ghz.

At enough scale it’s a problem.

The mitigations work in small numbers, none of them seem like they would work in large amounts of traffic

The problem is that at scale you can’t have every car on the road using lidar at the same time.

They’ll mess with each other’s systems.

Same with radar.

So while this seems like a solved answer, it’s not necessarily as simple as it sounds

The link says 2 seasons?

And I can’t find it anywhere?

It was a really fun game!

They will.

Politicians are nothing if not self-serving

Fuck me, that’s good

I’m stealing that

That is the lamest decepticon transformer I’ve ever heard of

The problem is that Apple is right here.

That is EXACTLY the issue.

You’re not wrong, but I’d really like to pretend that you are.

Yeah people like to downvote things that they don’t agree with even if it’s a decent point.

Oh well, at least I don’t base my self-worth on internet points. 😝

Why put ads on a new venue that may reach users that don’t use Google maps?

Even if that ad is less effective, it’s still going to have some effectiveness

I’m an avid user of OSM and OsmAnd, I’m with you there

Well apparently they ask for directions to your destination and 5 random others so that it’s not trackable server side.

I haven’t investigated myself and that’s not entirely fool proof, but it’s leagues better than Google for privacy.

Yep, I can agree with that. Not ideal

Apple actually integrates several “anti tracking” technologies into their maps, so it IS an improvement in theory.

Yes, that’s not great, so ideally there’s an asterisk showing this…

But if you look at the playing field as out exists today in advertising….

It’s not really useable to change political beliefs or support authoritarianism.

It’s not tracking you explicitly.

It’s not profiling you.

It’s relevant to what you’re already looking for

There aren’t many scams you can run with it (except the locksmith scam)

Soooooo, if I have to accept advertising, this feels on the tamer end.

But I agree, it should be upfront.
