3. Adjust settings to turn off tracking and manage location-related services.

Delete activity:
1. On the My Google Activity page, click on "Delete activity" in the left-hand menu.
2. Choose a time period or custom range and delete your activity.

Stop Google tracking on an Android device:
1. In Settings, search for "Activity controls" or navigate to More privacy settings > Activity controls.
2. Select the Google account to manage.
3. Turn off or pause various activities, set auto-delete, and manage your timeline.

Turn location tracking on and off from Quick Settings:
1. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen.
2. Find the Location button in the Quick Settings tray, and arrange it for easy access.

Disable location tracking for a specific app:
1. Go to the Location page in Settings.
2. Tap on "App location permissions" or "App permissions."
3. Adjust location permissions for each app as needed.

Delete your location history using Google Maps:
*On your Android phone:*
1. Open Google Maps, tap your profile icon, and go to Timeline.
2. Tap the three dots, go to Settings and Privacy, and choose "Delete all Location History."

*On a browser:*

2. Open Your Timeline, click on the gear icon, and choose "Delete all Location History."

Remember to review the implications, as disabling certain features may affect app functionality.

Years ago, when my one bestie still lived in state, we would go to the craft store together. She'd look at my basket of yarn and go "Earth-tones? Again?"

I spent this afternoon experimenting with my latest module - my rack is now effectively complete, i have the *option* for more but i don't know if I'll go for that for a bit yet - and at one point i noticed that all of the cables I'd used were... Earth-tones. Again. So i figured I'd use that to make a kiiiiinda earthy-toned generative piece.

<<SIGNAL BOOST FOR A FRIEND OF THE CHANNEL.>>

Hey everyone, a moment of your attention, please. A good friend of mine is in a very tough situation right now, he is trying to pull himself out of a really bad circumstance after a wrongful termination, and while he now has a new job, he has to drive nearly an hour each way to get to work and back, and his only vehicle was just repossessed for being behind on his payments. Now he's facing losing his new job, his car, and his home.

I and some other friends have kinda pushed him into making a GoFundMe as he really needs help but he is not the type to ask for it normally.

Anything you can do to help out a fellow fur in need is greatly appreciated. Link below with more details. Thank you.
