    • First bug report

      First bug report. Just bought premium, opened radar and saw use of colors on map that have no key visible.

      Why in the world would anyone want the respect of anyone who respects every opinion?

      What I want is to be able to use the service I've paid for without being unnecessarily tracked by social media for their purpose of using my personal information to sell ads to criminals seeking my property and freedom.

      What anyone with the most basic understanding of software design can do is replace the tracking links on their own site that are provided by social media with their own links to their same social media pages.

      Remove Facebook's "f" from all your webpages and replace is with: "Windy's link to its Facebook page", or the equivalent. And then do the same with all the rest of the "free" links to "free" social media.

      And finally, in parting, I'd like to give you a gift of my legal experience, in addition to the gift of my 30 years as a software designer and engineer: Check with your legal department to see if they know about the liability you open yourself to now if you do not do this, now that this correct information has been placed free in the public domain in your community. Ciao.

      All of Windy's Software Engineers missed the bug. When reported at zero charge, all the moderators still missed it. When illustrated with a screenshot, all of Windy's software engineers, and all of Windy's moderators, and Windy's Community Administrator couldn't put Windy back together again -- even after being told word by word that they are crowding the user's screen with a pallet of colors for which there is no explanation: no menu entry and no key to each color. I'm glad to provide my 30 years of web design experience to Windy at no charge. And I don't expect Windy to say thanks, or fix the error, and they have not done either. I just want to satisfy my curiosity about what its up to. Done.

      Is there a secret key you are not sharing for a secret reason?

      It's not an opinion about Facebook. It's a fact about Windy allowing all the internet activity of all users to be tracked and sold to criminal organizations, despite being given the information.

      Whats the point of having a link to report bugs where moderators do not reply?

      No, seriously, no one had the answer, and still do not. Is there a big untapped market for psychics? If I guess which each color means about "thunderbolts" do I get an invisible prize mate?

      Thanks for the solution. That makes a tiny bit of romantic sense, which is lost if you don't tell the users. Wind and rain cause actual damage, as does lightning. Showing rain/flood damage and wind damage would be useful, which is data available to Windy as disaster areas. Lightning causes fires, which is data Windy does show. Combining these would be a nice advance. Past thunderbolts? Not so much, which may be why there is no key and no one on Windy knew what I was referring to.

      Here are some more screenshots to illustrate Windy's human trafficking bug.

      First, the Windy privacy policy:

      Screen Shot 2023-04-02 at 15.10.36.png

      Please note that it says it is found to "be in full accordance with all applicable legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union."

      Next is Google's snippet on GDPR

      Screen Shot 2023-04-02 at 15.09.26.png

      which anoints itself "the strongest privacy and security law in the world".

      Third, a screenshot from GDPR showing that it is also a part of Fb's f link that makes it a part of human trafficking:

      Screen Shot 2023-04-02 at 15.08.42.png

      It is clear that GDPR is not protecting us from human traffickers that pay Facebook to show their ads to pirates that Fb's algorithm says are interested in "their exciting travel opportunities".

      Please stop your involvement.

      Thanks,
      Kevin
