Every time you look at the app, they share the time you’re seeing with every other user, it’s a privacy nightmare!
Ha! Unlike (some of) you plebs, I live in a very exclusive time zone with less than a billion people in it.
I would guess most timezones have less than a billion people. (Does China still have a single timezone?)
Now I’d be curious to see overall population based on timezone.
Edit: I found this https://distributionofthings.com/world-population-by-time-zone/
I was wondering if there are like island nations in the middle of the Atlantic or pacific that would be parts of time zones with super low populations. But I’m also guessing most such nations would want to associate with more populous neighboring time zones (for like commerce reasons, communication etc.) which is why time zones aren’t straight lines of latitude. So then that makes me wonder if for those reasons there are time zones with zero population.
Edit 2: And this https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/12504/least-populated-time-zones#:~:text=2 Answers&text=There is one timezone that,the UTC-12%3A00. Seems to answer my follow up question. Seems there is a timezone with no inhabitants.
I think China is still one giant timezone, yes.
Google harvests your sleeping patterns to sell more targeted ads.
More like Google harvests your __________ to sell more targeted ads.
waking up to see my underscores have been harvested GODDAMNIT GOOGLE!
Google harvests you to sell more targeted ads*
Matrix did it!
Very true… They harvest my nut sessions no doubt.
Good thing I never sleep.
Ever wonder why you’re getting ads for melatonin?
Even better, 24hr of un stopped ads.
I also have no reflection.
Maybe you should think on that a little.
Does it actually?
Yup.
Edit: why do you think google bought Fitbit?
IDK the way it was presented made it feel sarcastic.
But I block their ads… are they stupid???
Since the Play store requires one
At least Google is adhering to its own policies this time.
Helps that they got sued to hell and back recently.
Would rather they just be sued to hell and skip the back part.
This one is open source and privacy respecting.
I’ve been annoyed by a minor change in the stock Samsung clock app for some time now. I just installed the Fossify one you linked.
Minor nitpick: 24h time doesn’t start with a leading zero.
Everything else seems exactly how it should be.
Thanks.
A pull request for that issue is open since April with no comments from the developers. Not a good sign :/
https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Clock/pull/62
EDIT: Looking further into it, the only merges and commits seem to be translations and GitHub metadata stuff, there has been no development since the fork :( - https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Clock/commits/master/
It seems like alarms can trigger Google Assistant routines. Alarm sounds can either use local ringtones or YouTube Music. These things, Google Assistant and YouTube Music, they are cloud services. I imagine that the clock’s privacy policy is there due to the usage of these cloud services (along with the rule from Play Store that requires every app to have a privacy policy).
The clock also requires location services if you want it automated instead of manually putting the time zone, which most people don’t do, so that’s another thing they mistanage in their privacy policy.
most logical take. people seem to forget that modern apps are tied into all kinds of features that regular users expect to just work. if you want a bare OS with minimalist apps, install lineage or Graphene and only use apps from F-Droid.
I don’t even, I can’t even…
Good news gamers, it only works if you sleep alone!
That policy better be really short.
yiu do know that, every two seconds, it goes tiktok?
That’s because it’s not a clock, it’s a private information stealing app disguised as a clock.
It has sleep tracking with snore and cough tracking
This one is my favorite clock app. Open source and you can customize it so that shaking or flipping over the phone stops alarm or snooze alarm
Since never… Is that the official app? Or some dubious one from the appstore or some manufacturer’s bloatware?
It’s the pre-installed one from Google https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock
