@Blort@social.tchncs.deEDIT: Updated 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare) to 8.8.8.8 (Google) - thanks!
What a lot people don't realize is that this is default for all wifi on Android telling Google about every connection your device ever makes, where to and when.
You can change it though by going to Advanced setu[p, static IP and then DNS server (the 8.8.8.8 there by default, sneakily is Google - I suggest Quad 9, ie 9.9.9.9, but literally ANYTHING is better than Google)
@The_Tim@mastodon.social…most likely without any human ever even reading it. Thanks for nothing, #Google.
So I tried guessing the reviewer's email address & sending them a polite email explaining that I think they made a mistake & would they please delete the review.
To my surprise they replied, apologized, & deleted it! [2/2]

The damage that Big Tech has done to news sites and media should not be underestimated.
It used to be that you would buy tech ads on tech media outlets. That was the best way to reach that audience. Now Big Tech makes a profile on you, which notes that you visit tech media sites. That information is then used when selling ads based on your profile.
The only real solution is to ban user profiling and go back to context sensitive ads. I think that kind of ads, as long as they are not using popups and the like, would be more acceptable to the public as well. People just do not like being tracked. Who would have thought?

Never seen THAT before!
Google bought Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz for $32 billion, marking the largest transfer of former Israeli spies into an American company.
Wiz is run and staffed by dozens of ex-Unit 8200 members, the specialist cyber-spying arm of the IDF, who helped design the algorithms for Israeli military operations, including the genocide of Gaza.
The acquisition brings around $5 billion in revenue for Israel and is seen as a political favor to Netanyahu.

I was a bit slow on this one, but I finally disabled Google Maps on my phone! I've been using Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app/) for a little while now and I've had a great experience. I just have two issues:
1) Unless I download Organic Maps from the Google Play Store, I can't use it with Android Auto when I'm in a car. I want to disconnect from Google, so this is not ideal.
2) It seems like @organicmaps is the official Mastodon account, but they don't have their website verified.
It only took a few minutes to copy the places I had saved on Google Maps into a note in #Fossify Notes (https://www.fossify.org/). As usual, I'm finding that plain text notes are exactly what I need and give me a better experience than these bloated corporate apps.
Memory safety for web fonts in Chrome: Google replaces FreeType with Rust-based alternative

Skrifa is written in Rust, and created as a replacement for FreeType to make font
***** Warning regarding AI contamination of #Google #Gmail search function *****
Google is changing the way message search works in Gmail, to use their defective AI systems to show you results in a way the AI thinks is best for you, meaning you could easily miss important messages when searching in Gmail when the AI screws up, which it will frequently do because it doesn't understand what your messages actually mean.
There will apparently be a way to switch to "Most recent" instead of "Most Relevant", but it will probably be on you to change this setting and I don't know at this time if this change will stick between sessions.
Google continues to ram their defective AI down people's throats.
