insane how ppl casually bring up their families or significant others or whatever tracking their location via life360 or whatever else like its just normal and then if I'm weirded out by how creepy that is on multiple levels im the insane luddite or whatever

#toy txt post #baffling!!!!! bro i dont even like that google has my location but i need the GPS to navigate what do you MEAN youre signing up for these #random apps that track your location at all times bc your mom cant handle trusting you to text her #my mom tries to share her location w me via google maps and tries to get me to do the same and i have to draw a hard line like no!#i will just text you! it is fine! jesus christ! you people used to fly across the country with no cell phone #even if you trust your parents or partner with your location info: you shouldnt be trusting these data harvesting ass companies???#thats fucking creepy. why the fuck would they do this if they are not reaping some benefit from knowing your location. no. its fucking #creepy even if your loved ones intents are not creepy. their anxieties are subjecting you to the creepy intents of the location tracking #services. your complacency with the insistence of the practice is contributing to its normalization. resist a tiny bit please.#fuck man the actual luddites are looking at the concessions ive made in this regard and hissing and ducking into the shadows about it.#anyway. sorry. listened to a couple eps of better offline so all my Anger About Tech Shit is surfaced #i maintain a good phone has never been made. but it exists in my brain and is paywalled by me being stupid #bur when i unlock the tiny hardware guy's constitution for diy consumer electronics. we're golden man. itll have an AUX port and SO much #storage space and nice camera and an easily replaceable battery
