All weather apps need your location, well from your GPS data or entering it manually and this is always an security hole, even if the app don’t share it. If you want to use it, is preferable an FOSS app from F-Droid than one from Google Play, but the best apps are from the official meterologic agency of your country (in Spain AEMET), these are the most accurate and reliables and not driven by commercial interests, other apps anyway use their info from these agencies.
Don’t use localization or weather apps, don’t use soft or services from big (US) corporations, don’t use discount or banking apps in your mobile, use a good VPN/SPN or Snowflake, use Pi-Hole or better Portmaster on desktop, InVizible Pro on Mobile, don’t store sensible data on your Mobile…the most important, use your common sense, PEBCAK

Andi’s Writeup
Tesla faces mounting evidence of safety concerns around sudden unintended acceleration and braking issues across its vehicle lineup, with thousands of documented incidents between 2015-2025[1].
According to leaked “Tesla Files” obtained by The Guardian, the company received over 2,400 customer complaints about unintended acceleration and more than 1,500 braking issues between 2015-2022. This included 139 cases of emergency braking without cause and 383 phantom braking events[1:1].
Recent high-profile cases highlight the ongoing risks:
- In December 2019, a Tesla Model 3 suddenly accelerated in a parking lot, jumped a curb and crashed into a tent at Stryker Corporation in San Jose[2]
- In April 2021, Oliver Schuster died when his Model X veered off highway B194 in Germany and burst into flames[1:2]
- In February 2024, a Tesla Cybertruck owner reported the vehicle “suddenly accelerated, got out of control and crashed into the railing” while using Full Self-Driving mode[3]
Tesla maintains these incidents result from driver error, stating in 2020 that “the car accelerates if, and only if, the driver told it to do so”[4]. However, independent researchers have identified potential technical issues. Dr. Ronald Belt, analyzing Tesla’s log data, found evidence suggesting sensor malfunctions could cause false acceleration signals[5].
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 2024 report concluded Tesla “failed to adequately monitor whether drivers remain alert” when using driver-assist systems. The agency found Tesla only tracks crashes where airbags deploy - about 18% of reported incidents[1:3].

Add also the Calligra Suite, above it’s from the EU (KDE), full compatible with MS Office files apart of the OpenDocument format (Linux, currently no stable Windows version)
Zerush@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Degoogling - Getting your info from Google via Google Takeout9·5 days agoThe drawback is, despite you can delete your data from Google, it is only possible if you have an Google account.
Naturally the Darkweb has nothing to do with the TOR network, But even if you access it using the TOR network, they find you if they want, as you can see.
Yes, TOR never was secure against secret services and goverments, les nowadays with AI and massive server power from these. Don’t forget who developed the TOR network and from whom are the servers used. Drug Barons since time turned to use pen and paper for their orders and communication, because the web and even the Dark Web isn’t really private anymore (traffic analysis, exploiting software vulnerabilities, monitoring exit nodes, using Honeypot nodes…)

Invisible in the web is only a bad joke. Anybody is visible in the moment he goes online, irrelevant if he use VPN, TOR or whatever, this times have passed. Believing it is as hilarious as in the Movie Independence day infecting with an Virus an Alien Mothership, using an crappy Laptop (I have laughed a lot with this scene).
On iOS I don’t know, but searching the YT Video with Andisearch you can watch it in the list of search results (in mobile below the chat part), with random proxie and sandboxed.
Oh yes, they have and more, they are one of the most powerfull security and AI company with a ton of services. Perfectly capable to remove the plug of any service and web. Sadly with similar privacy concerns as Google.
Zerush@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Anyone have experience with Zen Privacy app? (not the browser)4·8 days agoInteresting, but I already use the Portmaster, which do the same and more (also FOSS). It offers also an SPN (improved VPN) as option, it’s a paid service. Anyway it’s always good to use this and similar apps on the PC, in Mobile maybe InVizible Pro (F-Droid version please).

It’s not a problem while the domain isn’t for an commercial use. An online shop with fake credencials = big problems, but for all other, while they receive their money for the domain, they give a fuck who you are.
