⭐ Protip: If you have a Google Workspace account, the Admin can turn OFF Gemini for ALL of its users. That's what we did for our nonprofit org's users.
I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.
Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.
Gemini AI needs to be disabled on Android or it will override your privacy settings and gain full access to your texts, calls, and WhatsApp - even if you’ve turned off Gemini Apps Activity.

Wenn Android im Hintergrund Daten an Google schickt, kann das die Mobilfunkrechnung belasten. Laut einem kalifornischen Urteil soll Google dafür geradestehen.

I post this just to show how I wanted to reply to the last post in the conversation from the screenshot, but I couldn't because @Azarilh blocked me.
“I admit this If this would happen (which I really hope will not) I will stay with #VivaldiBrowser for as much as it would be able to survive, and then move to a #GeckoBrowserEngine-based #browser. After all, #Chromium doesn't invade my #privacy, as #Bing, #Google, #Yahoo etc. do.”
That time “AI” translation almost caused a fight between a doctor and my parents
What if you want to find out more about the PS/2 Model 280? You head out to Google, type it in as a query, and realise the little "AI" summary that's above the fold is clearly wrong. Then you run the same query again, multiple times, and notice that each time, the "AI" overvi
So even when apps ask for permission and you explicitly give it to them, that's too much lack of security. I mean sure: To scourges like #Google and the government, security means people need to be "protected" by force against their own selves. That's the thinking we see everywhere these days, because we've allowed complete psychopaths in all positions of power.
» In diesem Workshop zeigen wir Möglichkeiten, die Datensammlung auf #Android-#Smartphone|s einzuschränken. Neben allgemeinen Tipps (Abschalten der #Google Werbe-ID, Verwendung einer alternativen #Suchmaschine, Werbung über DNS- und/oder Firewall-Einstellungen reduzieren, …) wollen wir vor allem den #App-Store #FDroid vorstellen und uns über die dortigen Apps austauschen.

“I’m asking this massive company to stop releasing features & products & ideas that are obvious barriers. And I want them to stop expecting free labor from the community. It’s tiring, frustrating, and disrespectful.”
Hey, Alphabet or Google or Chrome or whomever in that illegal monopoly continues to release things to the web platform that are full of accessibility barriers, I have what I think is a straightforward request.
Google NotebookLM is now available for iOS. VoiceOver users, take note: when opening the app, audio will route to the earpiece at reduced volume. To fix this, simply move focus away from the app and then back to it. apps.apple.com/us/app/google-n… #Accessibility #Google #AI
Turn complexity into clarity with NotebookLM, your brain’s new best friend. Join the millions of students, creators, researchers, professionals, CEOs, and more who are saving time, getting stuff done, and learning in new ways.
Wer #Nextcloud unter #Android über den #GooglePlay installiert hat kann nur noch Fotos und Videos hochladen, Dokumente funktionieren nicht mehr. Hintergrund ist, dass #Google wegen "Sicherheitsbedenken" den Zugriff für die App entfernt hat. Wer andere Appstores wie #FDroid nutzt ist nicht betroffen. nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-a…
GNOME Welcomes Its Google Summer of Code 2025 Contributors!
We are happy to announce that five contributors are joining the GNOME community as part of GSoC 2025!
This year’s contributors will work on backend isolation in GNOME Papers, adding eBPF profiling to Sysprof, adding printing support in GNOME Crosswords, and Vala’s XML/JSON/YAML integration improvements. Let’s give them a warm welcome!
In the coming days, our new contributors will begin onboarding in our community channels and services. Stay tuned to Planet GNOME to read their introduction blog posts and learn more about their projects.
If you want to learn more about Google Summer of Code internships with GNOME, visit gsoc.gnome.org.
Google and Facebook are two prime examples in tech where the advertiser pays for the service. In return, these services are offered for "free" to the users.
Gosh, learn about some #Google experiment or other every day. Here is one for you, #music enthusiassts, called Song Maker, (don't forget a MIDI keyboard to your CHrome setup): musiclab.chromeexperiments.com…
Viewpoint is a Windows program that uses Gemini AI to make user interfaces that aren't accessible, pretty accessible! I was able to navigate the PPSSPP interface with it pretty well! So yeah, it's starting to happen, the use of AI for more than just image descriptions.
Ah! I am horrified by how much data Google collects! 😱🤮 Just checked it in my Google account and 𝗶𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁! This is an amazing @Tutanota article about the hungry Google monster. Also, very good links inserted! tuta.com/blog/what-does-google…
How to block ads in Gmail is getting more complex as new Gmail advertisement is more intrusive than ever, in your mailbox, in your Gmail app, everywhere. But we've got a solution!
I am using #Qwant and #DuckDuckGo. I fall back to #Google for some special searches, but I avoid being logged in. I am preparing to delete my Google account.
We're here to stop surveillance by corporations like Google and Apple. That's why we replaced Google's FCM with our own notification system and keep Apple Notification Data at a minimum. Learn here why this is important.
There’s something very depressingly emblematic that Chrome Dev Tools’ annoying “Ask AI” sprinkles everywhere include one that pops up and *covers* the Accessibility Tree toggle.
U.S. lawmakers say Google has refused to deny that it received a Technical Capability Notice from the U.K. — a mechanism to access encrypted messages that Apple reportedly received.
I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.
This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.
Die Sicherheitsarchitektur von Android/iOS schränkt die Funktionsweise von Virenscanner-Apps stark ein und macht sie im Grunde nutzlos. Schlimmer: Die vermeintlichen Sicherheits-Apps sind Datenschleudern.
Непогана стаття про альтернативні мессенджери, але зовсім не відкрили тему #Android #Google #Messages це гуглосміття без попередження та запиту встановлює з 2025 року пару програмуль на ваші мобільні пристрої – слідкують заради вошого добробуту!

GrapheneOS: Android pro lehce paranoidní uživatele
Pokud chcete mobilní telefon, který je bezpečný, opravdu respektuje vaše soukromí, zároveň nechcete přijít o populární aplikace, bez kterých už se dnes těžko obejdete, může vám současný trh přijít jako výběr mezi kompromisy. Podíval jsem se tedy na systém, který o sobě tvrdí, že jimi netrpí.
