If you're considering attending a Puzzled Pint this month (/cc @ramsey@sean) the location puzzle is up, you'll need to solve it to find out where to go. (well, not actually, you can skip it, but it's good practice!). Google is a valid tool to use.
One thing I really wish mastodon had is location tags. I’m following a lot of nature and wildlife accounts and often have no clue where in the world photos were taken, even when I visit the poster’s profile.
My latest pet #project: Replace the "free" #location sharing services with simple solution where one has full control of (a) data collection (b) data storage (c) data sharing/visualisation.
If you want to give this #GoogleLatitude like alternative a go, I'd be happy for any and all comments:

Encountered a new W3W limitation this weekend: Accented characters.
The person reading me the code knew it wasn't English, but either didn't know the accents mattered or hadn't been given them themselves.
It turns out the website will do fuzzy matching and compensate for that - the mobile app did not.
And (accented characters aside) most of the claimed advantages definitely go away when you have to resort to the phonetic alphabet to pass the details.
Note that, they even disclose on the Play Store, they save and share voice recordings of you with their partners. These spywares run on your phone all the time. Oh, and it's all unencrypted.

Girls running warping machines in Loray mill, Gastonia, N.C. Many boys and girls much younger. Boss carefully avoided them, and when I tried to get a photo which would include a mite of a boy working at a machine, he was quickly swept out of range. "He isn't working here, just came in to help a little." Location: Gastonia, North Carolina.
« Why Your Wi-Fi Router Doubles as an Apple AirTag » by @briankrebs
« Apple did not respond to requests for comment. But in late March 2024, #Apple quietly tweaked its #privacy policy, allowing people to opt out of having the #location of their wireless access points collected and shared by Apple — by appending “_nomap” to the end of the Wi-Fi access point’s name (SSID). Adding “_nomap” to your Wi-Fi network name also blocks Google from indexing its location. »
