Looks like SMSLoc can remote query the location of a friend, using SMS as a transport.
I have not tried this one.
It appears you can whitelist certain phone numbers to query your location.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
DeltaChat(and ArcaneChat client) have a location sharing feature.
May only have a timeframe of 5min-6hours though.
40·2 days agoThe FOSS app GadgetBridge, has a number of supported smartwatches.
Supported watches can sync your health, activity, GPS, heart, O2, sleep data to GadgetBridge locally on your phone, instead of sending it online to who knows where.
May need to use the watches app to set it up, but then all happens locally.
11·6 days agoYou made a great choice of distro for media creation.
Some background information and other options are below.

Ubuntu studio is a distro targeted at creatives(audio, visual).
Ubuntu is touted as a ‘high ease of use’ distro, but as a company, it is a user-data collector and advertising injector.
For a similar audio/visual targeted distro, but one that is free/libre and includes no spyware or tracking, you could try Dynebolic.
Can be booted as a LiveUSB (or LiveDVD) to test.
* NB. Any hardware connected to your PC, that needs proprietary drivers, will probably not work because those drivers are not included in any Libre Distros.
Also NB, Dynebolic is made by friendly, neighborhood, activist, Rastafarians.

Solid project, I appreciate your efforts.
Yes, I’ve run Trisquel on all house devices for 10-12 years, plus libreboot.
Other commenters are correct, plenty of hardware will not function at all without its proprietary blobs. Frustrating at first, but then good riddance once you find libre alternatives.
For new hardware purchases you can follow what hardware various online hardware retailers are using, such as:
Or trawl through h-node.org to decipher what may work.
This trims out all the proprietary fluff real quick, both software and hardware. Backdoor vectors from obfuscated-blobs are removed.
Trimmed out a ton of games too. No big loss. Initially thinking there was no way to live without X-proprietary game, but there is.
Many people have jobs that are tied to particular proprietary packages. Can run those contained in a virtual-machine or on a box other than your daily.
Proprietary software may or may not be brainrot, make your own conclusions, but I am calmer and sleep better these days.
I’ve met Stallman, Linus, and Wales, and they are shining a light to show a realistic path to a more open future. I support and use that each day.
Skip the FUD and all the best.

Thought you meant ‘app for Windows’.
Like mentioned here, I usually tap PrintScreen and then annotate elsewhere, usually in Gimp.
Greenshot GPL3
…but also Linux.
Yes, Trisquel GNU/Linux on 2 laptops, a desktop, and a HTPC. I’ve been using Trisquel for 15 years(since Awen release), after running Debian with non-free disabled for a while.
The laptops are Thinkpads from minifree.org which provides libreboot and ensures compatibility with libre firmwares.
Trisquel is Ubuntu, with all the non-free software and binary blob firmware removed. Hardware that does not have a fully free driver will not work.
It is an easy install, rock solid when using, and has a knowledgeable and helpful community.

The other libre distros I think about checking one day are Guix or Parabola. https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html
I recommend everyone to have at least one fully free distro installed, just to experience what the original vision of libre computing is.
I don’t think that at all (c:
Was recommending this to speed up your next fresh lab install. :^)
Congratulations on your win.
Although it is fun to run around updating each PC individually, as the install numbers increase, Clonezilla can be helpful to multicast one OS image to many PCs in parallel.
Games: xbill, koules, and quake1 prerelease test(8 or 16 player multi)
Crafting XFree86 config lines to get a monitor working(no auto-detect for resolution modes)
Sharing tips, on how to solve all these issues, with others at Linux User Groups(LUGs)
EXTRA:
Just found this post that outlines the initial efforts/hacks, to port Rockbox to the iPod.
Excellent morning news.
ROMs to turn portable-mp3-players libre.
Great project, congrats to devs on the 4.0 milestone!

1·6 months agotoothbrush mentioned above that the limits may apply if you use Limesurvey’s hardware.
No limits if you self-host.
The limit you reached seems to be at odds with the Limesurvey docs.
I haven’t used Limesurvey recently to know if it works at large scale without restrictions, maybe someone else can weigh in.
How are you defining ‘large scale surveys’?
There were no scale restrictions on V1 when I used it, how is V2 restricted?
From the Limesurvey features page:
LimeSurvey 2.x currently offers:
Unlimited number of surveys at the same time
Unlimited number of questions in a survey (only limited by your database)
Unlimited number of participants to a survey
Yes, not encrypted, straight cleartext SMS.
You could possible hack the code to add a strong crypto wrapper to the data stream.
