  • @VolkerKrause@floss.social Awesome read! Glad you're moving your focus away from Android, it really is a failing platform.

  • @VolkerKrause@floss.social mm, didn't know about the onboard wifi APIs! Hopefully that support ends up in geoclue itself eventually

  • @VolkerKrause@floss.social Great work! It was an interesting read. Also checked Android news and that sounds amazing for Android users. Good luck :)

    @VolkerKrause@floss.social > What I couldn’t look into is whether Geoclue is able to actually retrieve GNSS data on “real” hardware, lacking access to devices to test this on. People have relied on Geoclue to provide location data (based on GNSS + cellular + Wi-Fi) to applications on phones they use for many years now, so you can just assume it works ;)
