Why don’t every privacy concerned people switched to foss already?

It doesn’t calculate anything, but sends it to an AI server and displays the number from the answer.

I thought it was the color scheme that was hell at first.

It’s some fresh hellish bug that Android has introduced, it’ll adapt the theme based on your wallpaper. It’s a bug because it always chooses that 70’s brown color. And yes, before you ask, you’re not able to disable it. You have to reset your theme everytime you change your wallpaper.

Yes!

My Xiaomi Redmi 11 keeps telling me the Calculator can’t use the network (why?) and keeps asking me to accept the privacy policy.

Also the app wallpaper - the one that changes the locked screen background image (important complex stuff /s) - also keeps asking me to accept the privacy policy.

And, as far as my reading of the policy goes, these privacy policies are just the one, it’s not a different one for each app.

Aqarius ,

It’s possibly compliance. I know google requires you to have a privacy policy to even publish an app, no matter what.

The calculator is collecting anonymous information about your calculations to calculate whether the operation operators are operating properly.

They are just promising not to share with the government or any private entity that you are the idiot who had to use a calculator to find half of 17, just in case you were worried about someone finding out.

Sibbo ,

You recently calculated 34*5+1. Do you want to buy a new washing machine?

Aurenkin ,

Something about this just doesn’t add up.

5wim ,

If only there was a way to get to the root of the problem.

zerofk ,

It will require our undivided attention.

henfredemars ,

I can’t even imagine what data there is to collect for an application this simple.

That privacy policy better be really short.

On the bright side, a simple calculator ought to have plenty of free and open source alternatives that don’t harvest any data.

Every orher day I enter sets from my workout so my dumbass can remember when I have done 200 squats. My knees hurt.

Your calculator would like access to your contacts.

Your calculator would like permission to send and receive phone calls.

Your calculator would like permission to view and delete emails.

Please click AGREE to proceed.

Evotech ,

How else are we supposed to be able to share calculations to your social network???

takeda ,

There is also information that is provided that the phone no longer asks/announces.

Evotech ,

Whatever they can get their grubby hands on

Sibbo , (edited )

I believe it’s about how often the app is used. Advertisers label people with “gullible” and stuff like this, so when you use a calculator regularly, that may be a hint that you are not.

takeda ,

Well, everything else that’s not calculations.

This is why everyone is trying to have their app installed, there’s a lot of information that the phone provides, and now you no longer get warned what data is available.
