"There is not evidence that chatbots have feelings or permanent selfhoods, but because they can write so well, this makes some people be easily misled about them."
I have started to take a contrarian view:

New post: Google still can't make an accessibility menu accessible.
Put more than one service on Android's accessibility shortcut and holding the volume keys brings up a menu with no speech, at the exact moment no screen reader is running. Apple and Microsoft solved this years ago. I fixed it in ten minutes at one in the morning. Google has had years.

"Und als absolute Krönung, werden im Gegensatz zum #DSA kleine Plattformen wie #Mastodon oder #fdroid nicht verschont.
Milliardenkonzerne wie #Meta, #Google und #Apple haben demnach die selben Auflagen zu erfüllen wie kleine, europäische Anbieter.

#Google Is Closing Android: And Taking Your Freedom With It
The #Android story is a warning: when you depend on a platform built by a company whose interests diverge from yours, you eventually lose. The solution is not a different Big Tech provider, it is infrastructure built on fundamentally different principles.

#Google ist vielleicht ein #Drecksladen. ich hatte das automatische Sichern in Google Photos abgestellt, weil ich nicht will, dass die ihre KI mit meinen Bildern trainieren und ab dann mit #Immich gesichert.
Soeben muss ich feststellen, dass die das offenbar unilateral wieder reaktiviert haben, ohne es mir mitzuteilen.
So great to ignore random market trends until it's old news: two years after it happened I now learned that Google stopped selling the Chromecast.
I was asked by family if I could get them another one. Well we don't want a Google TV streamer so the answer is nope.
As @mainframed767@infosec.exchange and others warned, don't commit to #google products. They'll eventually abandon or "at best" deprecate whatever product or service you were enjoying.
La Smart TV del living a partir de hoy empezó a mandar propaganda encima de la salida HDMI1 que es la salida de una Mini PC que usamos con Plex... Denme un momento para procesar esto sin agarrar la TV a hachazos en este mismo momento. Por favor diganme que hay una solucion porque no voy a poder lidiar con esto y el apagón analógico en la misma semana #android #google #larecalcadaconchadetumadre #tv #yameiba #smarttv #enshittification #mierdificacion
Googlebooks might be the real deal

Ostatnio mama poprosiła mnie abym jej zaktualizował Pixela 7a (stockowy soft). Aktualizacja do Androida 17 przeszła gładko, tylko telefon złapał bootloopa 😅
Skończyło się na wchodzeniu do recovery mode'a i ręcznym montowaniu systemowej partycji. Ciekawostka żeby zobaczyć recovery menu trzeba czekać prawie 5 min na ekranie oczekującym na komendy z laptopa. Google to taka mała firma można jej wybaczyć prawda? 🙃

At this stage of the game, it seems incredibly stupid for #Signal to require people to set up a payment method with #Google to permit people to sign up for Signal without using a phone number. Better not to even offer that option than to force that behavior given that Google has gone full MAGA and really can't be trusted anymore.
