Don't be evil? Google öffnet seine KI-Modelle für „jeden rechtmäßigen Regierungszweck" des Pentagons – trotz Protest von über 600 Mitarbeitenden. Verbote für Massenüberwachung und autonome Waffen stehen im Vertrag, ein Vetorecht bei operativen Entscheidungen aber ausdrücklich nicht. Ethik als Lippenbekenntnis. #Google

Fatal: Die EU zieht eine Milliardenstrafe gegen Google zurück — und Ursula von der Leyen demonstriert damit ausgerechnet gegenüber Big Tech politische Nachgiebigkeit. Wer digitale Souveränität predigt, aber bei BigTech Marktmacht zurückrudert, macht Regulierung zur bloßen Kulisse. Mike Kuketz benennt das fatale Signal klar.

So... not many people will be surprised, #Google has done it again, it has crossed a big red line this time.
They already made it so that using their "share" feature from Chrome browser in Android would introduce their own tracking link, betraying unsuspecting users. That in itself was infuriating, but at least we had an escape hatch, we could copy the web page URL and share that directly.... until now.
It is no longer possible to copy URLs from the browser's URL bar (in Android systems). They have reached an entire new level of perversity and anti-user behaviour.
At this rate, they will manage to kill the #www for good at some point, something else will have to emerge.

It becomes ever more important that you stop using Google.
It's been important for a long time, since they removed 'don't be evil' from their tag-line and decided that they had to be a big evil corporation instead.
They're giving up on being a search engine now too by the sounds of it.
You can use startpage or duckduckgo or something if you still want search.
There are lots of different email providers.
There is GrapheneOS and lineageos and others for your phone and tablet operating systems.
There is Peertube and Rumble and others for uploading your videos.
You don't have to remove it all at once, just make a continuing effort to move away from Google, one step at a time.
I'm almost completely degoogled now. Its taken years. It was a good move. Google only gets worse from here.

Today's news is Google Chrome has been installing a 4 GB AI model on some people's computers without consent.
Fortunately, it wasn't installed on my daily driver, probably because I often don't have 4 GB free on this tiny drive. Insert Meme Head Tapping Guy
To prevent installation, go to chrome://flags and search for "optimization guide on device", change to Disabled.

Totally normal #Google #Play app situation.
Changes in new version: "restoring backups."
Methinks "that looks like a harmless update".
Reality: AI, new terms of service, new "privacy" policy, make a backup ("in cloud" preferably, can't save locally), sign up for an account (you can skip that), database migration.
Of course, the app itself is not very different. Some random extra padding that makes it look like shit, new database format that's much slower, and lots of useless premium shit.

I do not want to "move from an operating system to an intelligence system" thanks Google.
I still want my computer to operate, not to intelligent.
I do not want a popup every time I wriggle my mouse to see where the cursor is.
Also "google books" is already a thing you maniacs. Google, the search engine company, has made a product which is unserchable because of a name clash with another thing from the same company already called that.
/slow-clap.
This is intelligence apparently. We're going to need a new word for actually clever things given all this crap branded intelligent nowadays.
