It was bad enough for internet to geolocate everything to another country whenever I cross the border, but auto-translating all the websites to another language based on location is just taking the piss.

Maybe there is some "data science" rebel MN nerd out there who could use our signal chats to geolocate a hundred cars at a time. Just sayin'

That was the NSA.
Trump has now given those NSA level spy tools to DHS (ICE/CPB). They can hack anyone's device w/o a warrant, even encrypted apps, and geolocate anyone carrying a phone.

DHS under Trump now has a host of spyware tools including Paragon's Graphite that lets them surreptitiously gain access to everything, even encrypted apps, without a warrant or you knowing, and Webloc to geolocate anyone carrying a device (which is also how ICE/CBP are targeting immigrants).
Immigration agents have new technology to identify and track people
The Department of Homeland Security is adopting powerful new tools to monitor noncitizens. Privacy advocates are worried they erode privacy rights for all Americans.

We can geolocate the picture to outside the Bull pub on Reepham Road at Hellesdon, and probably late summer 1944 based on overseas service stripes on the sleeve. @typejunky.bsky.social is on the case of the probable album owner

They responded to this by claiming Will was trying to have his "handlers" geolocate him so they could find and arrest her.
Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name

Palantir uses your phone to geolocate you, you need a dumb phone.

Hey #texas voters
It was really hard to figure out which Congressional District you will be voting in, since the official government sites won’t update their maps until after the election (which seems a little backwards but hey).
I made it easier:

No fluff, no ads […]

is there such a thing as a local IP-geolookup database in the modern age? I don't want to have to go and leech off of a website when I should just be able to geolocate an IP myself using a readily avaliable database.

Is the idea that groundhogs as a species have generalized prognosticatory prowess & we simply elevate specific exemplar-hogs?
Or are we to understand that the chosen few are somehow considered superior? Shouldn't we poll & geolocate all hogs to create a weather model? Logically yes, so why don't we

Utterly ridiculous that there are like five different canonical groundhogs. Either there should be one, housed in a temple of graven idols in Washington DC and propitiated with sacred offerings, or you should just have to go out into the woods and find your own.

This is going to geolocate where I grew up but I want to share what I think truly radicalized me:
The Delmarva Conspiracy, by Sharon Miner. I think it's out of print now, but the synopsis is "A boy and his parents uncover a neo-Nazi plot to isolate a small town in eastern Maryland."

🔹️These databases are important, b/c they also
geolocate footage & add metadata that allows patterns to become clear - so collecting as many videos
