Apps doing year wrapped gives you a hint on how are you being tracked. There is probably a legal issue there somewhere like data retention.

Yeah I don't mind apps keeping track of how I've been using them. But if duolingo tells me where my friend got married and congratulates me on keeping my streak through that then we're gonna have some concerns

[duamerthrax@lemmy.world]

I actually have both installed, but I like how I can have different services with Grayjay.

Lucy does keep saying that she is always listening rather ominously

[brbposting@sh.itjust.works]

I actually wish services like Spotify or Apple Music did a better job of displaying this data throughout the year rather than just in end of year infographics.

Preach

Spotify > Search > Made For You > “On Repeat” / “Repeat Rewind” = not sufficient

Chad Google Play Music > sort by plays = perfect

[satans_methpipe@lemmy.world]

The whole 'wrapped' summaries thing dovetails perfectly into social media narcissism. It's quite a spectacle to witness.

[princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I thought Google Play Music didn't exist anymore?

[haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com]

If they collect any data besides the stuff thats already pleasant in your files (day of creation, user who created it, etc), that is data collection and if you didnt activate it, its opt out. I didnt check daylio, I‘m talking about it in general.

And yes, of course for profit companies will make more polished products. This doesnt even hinge on foss. Nextcloud is pretty polished and foss for example. That said, medical stuff is very niche and less common in foss (although present).

[princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

...medical stuff is very niche...

Is it though? I personally feel like it's much more down to the attitudes of people that create and contribute to foss applications. I do understand that for profit companies have more resources, but I genuinely think that foss folks don't do enough to support accessibility, and don't often focus on medical stuff. There are exceptions to that though, drip is an awesome app for example.

[brbposting@sh.itjust.works]

Sure doesn’t yeah, guess I was just reliving a good feature memory

[gestrid@lemmy.ca]

I know Steam itself says it doesn't track your playtime while you're playing offline. Not sure about the Steam Deck, though.

[codandchips@lemmy.world]

Wow pretty problematic

[kerred@lemmy.world]

I enjoy it for retro achievements because it said I spent 60 hours playing Dragon.Quest 8 for the PS2. But that's probably because it's all free.

And oddly enough it was the only wrapped I got as I don't do subscription based stuff.

[wabafee@lemmy.world]

How is that problematic?

[lurklurk@lemmy.world]

Music recommendations are part of the core offering though and keeping play history is pretty vital for that. There might be local ways to do it but probably not as good

[haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com]

Thanks for mentioning this.

Of course it would be a lot better if there were more foss health apps.

But as an open source dev, donor and contributor, it is absolutely impossible to make decent software on a nearly global scale with what usually amounts to one person in their free time without a single cent of income.

I know there are theoretical workarounds like donations but even I (who uses mostly open source) cant donate to every app/library I use. You need to make few big donations instead of many small ones. Otherwise you donate to the banking system and thats it. For example I partly finance this platform we are talking on in larger chunks instead of weekly/monthly as not to pay too much fees.

The issue is systemic. We desperately need something like open source tax which is to be paid by those who profit the most off it (large companies) and especially who dont pay any other taxes (mostly).

And yes, compared to a chat app, a health app is niche. But you are right, that should be no problem.

Please write to your political representative and speak out about us needing significantly more funding for open source. Many issues have been solved that way.

Full time open source work must pay the rent and food, period. Sorry for the rant.

[possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip]

That actually requires very little data compared to the amount of data being collected. They collect absolutely everything all the time.

Use Fossify notes

[codandchips@lemmy.world]

It's not my job to educate you

[feathercrown@lemmy.world]

Hahahaha
