What the actual fuck. How can we trust any third party app ever? I guess we can’t.
Use softwares that are open sourced and be happy. There’s plenty of period tracking apps on F-Droid.
Open sourced softwares can’t hide trackers from users since the source code must be up-to-date. If not, people will be suspicious. And if a open sourced software do use trackers, the community will complain… a lot!
Closed source doesn’t necessarily hide trackers either. Tracker Control (on Android) will point out tracker libraries and tracker domains closed source apps use. A good DNS blocker will let you know too by the logs.
I agree but most open-source software will not add any trackers because even if they did someone will fork and remove them also lot of open-source apps like this won’t even have internet access to sell your data
Oh for sure. My comment was just to say just because it’s closed source doesn’t mean you can’t get some sense of what they’re trying to do behind the scenes with your data.
so the pentagon has it
And this where I as a trolling CIS male might be able to do some good
Is there anything FOSS like this?
There are a few:
- https://f-droid.org/packages/com.drip
- https://f-droid.org/packages/ch.nilsgrob.android.bluemoon
- https://f-droid.org/packages/com.mensinator.app
I’m not a user of any of those, but from descriptions and screenshots alone they look decent.
Because of course they would sell this data, fuck all these people
The idea of putting this info on my phone has always seemed bonkers to me. Just keep a journal of it, on paper, if this is so critical for you to know for some reason. My daughter used to use one but she deleted it as soon as the Roe v Wade stuff happened, she had no reason to be using it anyway
The idea that putting this on your phone is bonkers is bonkers to me. Why would you want to carry around a journal or paper when you have everything on your phone? It can also be more easily backed up and synced.
It shouldn’t be normal that this data is stolen and sold. That is 100% the problem, not the fact that people track things on computers.
Imagine that nobody earned money with this mine of women working for free. What a wasted product
