Workaround for wifi scanning?

I have an app for work that uses wifi scanning to track my location. It basically wants a location update every hour so it can geotag my location. If the data is too far apart between where I am and where I'm supposed to be, it creates a red flag.

Ive deduced its because of wifi scanning. Tried a GPS spoof which seemed to work once I turned off wifi and wifi scanning.

But now if I disable wifi scanning, the app insists I turn it back on and it refuses to work. Any feasible workarounds for this? Android device.

Tips for phone privacy?

Hey Hexbear

Like to think I do an ok job keeping my desktop setup secure, but realized recently I don't do the same for my mobile devices.

Does anyone have any good tips how to help keep your phone more private and secure?

I have both an android and iPhone, and realize androids are superior to that sort of customization. Thought it might be useful tho if anyone had any tips for either though.

Young Girl Goes Viral For Staring Right Into Your Soul While Showing Pigs
  • There was a "reality" show about this called "Pig Royalty" about two rival Texan families who competed in pig showing competitions like this. It was made by the same production company as Breaking Amish so that's why "reality" is in sarcastic airquotes. It's basically two seasons of this with some manufacturered drama peppered in.

    It got canceled after the second season and has since been scrubbed from Discovery+ streaming (v sus). Also, one of the kids on the show committed suicide in 2024 very heartbreaking

  • But the sign said "All you can eat!"
  • It makes for a funny headline, but that's like 0.4% of the chain's total revenue of around 2.6 billion in 2023

    More likely the private equity firm that bought Red Lobster is running it into the ground on purpose to do some credit bidding buy back bankruptcy scam that's somehow technically legal to write off a bunch of debt.

  • Any Americans here visited China recently? Looking for visa & travel advice

    Howdy Howdy Howdy !brace-dark-cowboy !amerikkka

    American here, planning on visiting China for the first time at the end of the year.

    Specifically wondering if anyone here has any advice on the visa process for American citizens -- I've been researching myself but I keep finding either conflicting or outdated information since things seem to change rapidly.

    From what I gathered, one needs to make an appointment window to the closest Chinese Consulate and apply for a travel visa in person-- which is then good for repeat visits up to 10 years? Or are there single use visas as well?

    Also I'll be happy for any advice about visiting in general-- it's a huge country and a lot of ideas to sift through. Was suggested for phone (android) VPN, sim card, WeChat, WayGo, Baidu, 12306, Didi, MetroMan, and Trip.com (missing any?)

    Mighty obliged folks, yeehaw !deng-cowboy

    American football and baseball are an Anheuser-Busch InBev psyop to normalize getting regularly drunk because those sports are otherwise unwatchable
  • I've always sort of wondered the obsession and deep emotional connection some people have with sports.

    The best I can come up with is its part tribalism, but more so I think it's experiencing vicarious success. If you put in the emotional work to follow your team, especially with a displaced loyalty during losing seasons, their successes are your successes by proxy, but it also distances you from their failures.

    Success irl is hard to come by and this is a chance to feel success without actually working very hard towards it, other than the emotional investment

    Idk does anyone have any other thoughts why some people get so attached to their team?

    Excited to hear my family's brain damaged hot takes, completely unprompted. Post yours below.

    So far when simply mentioning the Zelda movie "they'll prob make Link trans", how Michelle Obama was actually a man, and you can still drop dead from the covid vaccine at any given time.

    War Crimes are just like Harry Potter & the Office. Hamas is Slytherian, Israel is Jim & Pam, Palestine is Michael Scott-Dumbledore, and a concentration camp Hogwarts-Mifflin

    r/TrueAnon went private in attempt to avoid a ban, but I’m banned from reddit and cant lurk anymore so one of you is gonna have to repost everything from there including all the comments
  • I'm on the subreddit now, Brace is doing a live ama with Israeli Marshmello and 50% of LMFAO (who are not laughing their fucking asses off at the moment, given the circumstances) to raise money to re-attach baby heads to babies. Also apparently Liz got trench foot and died on the way back to her home planet.

    Sure the trueanon sub and the pod (mostly Brace) are somewhat irony-poisoned, but the sub became a beacon for all sorts of online leftists, and hanging out there (similar to here) makes me feel relatively sane in world that seems to refuse to learn anything from its egrigious previous mistakes (like war crimes, for example)

  • What's your "greatest generation" hot take

    For me, it's the drive thru-- makes the boomer kids lazy, wasting gas, environmently unfriendly, no thank you. I'll physically walk into the fast food lobby for reconstituted pink chicken slime as nature intended.

    Its Super Bowl Sunday! Reposting one of my favorite all-time pictures of modern American culture

    Sports; i get the appeal but also the disdain/criticisms. I'm fairly nuetral on the matter. But some people treat it like a cult and its legit scary
