Google's #Gemini AI invasion continues → It wants your biometric data, your selfie, and even your voice. 😡
Now it's adding conversational AI features to Gmail, Docs and Keep.
There has never been a better time to #DeGoogle and take back your privacy. ➡️ https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list
Gemini API is no better. sometimes ago I went to create an APi key, and it said that the attempt looked suspicious. which is funny because no one had hacked into my account. I looked at my accounts logs, everything was good. plus, I have 2FA , Google advanced protection turned on, etc, etc. and I don't have a cookie credential theft.
what the fuck is going on?
More than 200k users said NO!
More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!
#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!
We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.
We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.
If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.
If you use a search engine, you found it.
If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.
But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

WARNING: Apple MacOS 27 is reportedly loaded with massive, non-disableable Google Gemini AI SLOP
Presumably Apple is paying Google a fortune for access to their
misinformation SLOP machine Gemini AI, and Apple wants to make sure you can't opt-out. That's how the billionaire Big Tech CEOs operate. They stuff this garbage DOWN YOUR THROAT like they own you. DISGUSTING.
Reports so far -- subject to change as I learn more -- are that unlike in previous versions of macOS there is no simple way to disable "Apple Stupidity" -- oops, I meant "Apple Intelligence" which is wedded at the hip to Siri. Also, reports are that the AI crap alone is taking 10s of gigabytes of space and comes right back when deleted. If you don't have a big storage Mac, this is going to hurt. Does Apple care? OF COURSE NOT. Like Google, it's all about keeping their billionaire CEOs living the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed and we could never dream of.
You might let Apple know how you feel about this, for whatever good it does.
If I learn more that changes any of this, I'll let you know.

"... If I sold Google some data cables, and months later sent them an email “btw in 5 business days your cables will start sending all the data going through them to me, even though you specifically told me not to enable this feature, unless you re-disable it”, I would go to jail for hacking."It is [evil hat] hacking, and it is a crime. The government is run by criminals who want Google spying on their behalf, so they allow this surveillance crime spree to continue.
