Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it’s not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I’d like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive metadata in them.

i do, and together with nextcloud’s map application you get a full view of which image was taken where.

just feels really cool after a half decade to have so many pictures so far away, all at one glance.

also, in the current age of large machine learning models, it is scarily easy to use one of these to guess the location. it’s like the colkective hive mind of geoguesser players working together, so if one really wants to find ur location based on ur pictures, they really dont even need the metadata anymore
