Yes but I more meant about them skirting accountability by making them clear their cookies

My answer to this is always “I opened an incognito window, effectively the same thing”

Works for me!

And it’s not like it says in big red writing on the side of the next console that says “BY PURCHASING THIS CONSOLE YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE AGE VERIFICATION OTHERWISE ITS A BRICK”.

Need a room mate? I’ve wanted to do this for years now lol. I mean, except the suicide part.

Because it doesn’t work 🤣. I can think of maybe once in my life where a chat bot was able to answer my question.

Good idea, just did the same. Seems I’ve leaked several photos throughout the years to Google photos. I can see them online. Probably nothing I can do about it now but I’ll have to"delete" these rehab I get to a computer.

We’re talking Personal Intelligence, Google’s latest AI upgrade path which lets users opt-in to connecting Google apps to Gemini. Why search for a doctor’s appointment when Google has access to all your calendar events. Why search for a party invite when it reads all your emails. And why search for a specific photo of you and your loved ones to create an image, when it sees all your photos.

This is coming first to the U.S. before it rolls out everywhere else. Google assures that “bringing personal details into your images shouldn’t mean compromising on privacy, which is why our core commitments haven’t changed. The Gemini app does not directly train its models on your private Google Photos library.”

But Google does say “we train on limited info, like specific prompts in Gemini and the model’s responses, to improve functionality over time.” That’s why “connecting your Google apps to Gemini remains an opt-in experience that you can adjust in your settings at any time.” It’s opt-in for a reason. Keep that in mind.

Well, I guess I’m safe for the moment… But I also just checked and you can’t prevent Google photos from accessing your files, so that’s concerning…

Just when you think AI isn’t ruining something, it’s ruining something.

Uhg. Where do I go now? I really just ultimately want encrypted zfs replication…

I don’t know much about birds but the fur on that looks more like an owl.

I smell a short

Yeah I’m not gonna pretend to be a lawyer but I’m curious how it all works with GPL and all that. It’s open source software. Can’t a citizen from another country without these laws or something just fork there kernel and not comply with the law and state that they don’t need to follow US laws because they’re not American?

Probably found it with AI

Yup. And on duckduckgo you need to use a whole different URL to avoid it.

And with Microsoft products, there’s that damn copilot button in like 7 places everywhere all the time screaming “USE ME, JUSTIFY MY EXPENSIVE EXISTENCE!”. So fucking annoying. I mostly don’t use it out of spite at this point.

Linus is American 🤕😭

The same way the next laws will keep kids safe. When you leave your front door, you will have to drop your pants so the TSA can check your asshole. It’s necessary. You know. To keep kids safe.

🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Fuck everything’s my about this.

Some of us are part of the resistance. Fuck chrome lol.

Spyware preinstalled. Has to be.
