à propos of nothing I just want to remind everyone that your list of nearby wifis betrays your location quite precisely

@codl Is there actually some tool where you can drop in wifis and it tells you where google thinks you are?

@halcy @codl i think so, i know people compromising tech support scam operations have used the list of nearby ssids + signal strengths, across several systems on the lan if needed, to find the location they're running out of

@halcy idk about Google, a thing came out recently about apple's WiFi map, there's also wigle

@halcy @codl regardless of whether there's an easily usable public tool, there must be some kind of google dataset or API available for doing this since phones are able to use it

@codl misread this as “list of nearby wifes” which makes it sound like a massive shitpost
