    Unless I’m uploading pictures to cloud storage I want GPS data filed off. I’d rather have some unnecessary bug reports targeting the wrong things then stalkers showing up at my door.

      Immich is a self-hosted photo hosting service. They’re listing this in their docs because people are trying to upload photos with GPS data, hitting this cursed behavior because they didn’t give immich Location access (because why would you?), and then filing unnecessary bug reports on them about their disappearing data.

      To be clear, no one is against stripping GPS data, that’s not what anyone takes issue with, it’s the silently part that is unexpected behavior.
