I block #adverts aggressively, so I don't normally see them at all. But, the other day, while responding to a lighthearted thread about dating sites, I asked Google how many women on dating sites were bots. Now, every time I update the apps on my phone, #Google Play Store pushes dating apps at me.

I'm a married man. I don't play away. I don't want Mrs Wife to see dating stuff on my #phone when she borrows it. This is as creepy as hell.

So I discovered something neat. Ignore the VULGARITY, I'm trying to trip the family safe stuff. And 'cock' has enough homographs to plausibly not want to straight up filter it, like "fuck nuts".

But using this technique, appending a symbol+number or number/letter, it pulls other definitions from whatever site they're scraping and highlights them.

Took a few minutes but I got it to finally admit that sometimes 'cock' can be dirty. Take a shower.

Continued thread

As a side note, YouTube Music wasn't really that bad of an idea. You're merging what's partially a music video service with an actual music service. The problem is that the middle section of the Venn Diagram is simultaneously too big and too small. It doesn't work great as a music service because it obscures your library too much behind YouTube recommendation BS plus the aforementioned music video problem, but it also doesn't work great as a visual experience because it has no issue shoving you over to a progress bar with some album art instead of an actual video. It's trying to be a music service and a music video service and it's bad at both.

Schon ziemlich frech. #Google hat über 1 App für den Zugang zu #Mastdodon **48(!)** #Trackingversuche unternommen. Nicht nur Daten der App, auch #Gerätestatus, #CPU, #GPU, Geräte-#ID, persönliche Daten, #Netzwerkstatus, interne #IP und vieles andere mehr.

Und da wundern sich die Tech-Konzerne und Politiker wenn Menschen #Cybersecurity sehr ernst nehmen und auf #Verschlüsselung und #Zertifikate vertrauen, #KI aus ihrem Leben verbannen.

LOL. I did a #Google #Search and that #AI Overview crap at the top, all its sources were from Quora. God help us all.

Quora is informative, but not trustworthy. It's not trustworthy because there is no fact checking the answers and no credential checking on those answering the questions. Answers can also reflect personal opinions and biases, which may not always align with objective facts or widely accepted knowledge.

Als Reaktion auf den US AI Action Plan will OpenAI strikte Kontrollen und Urheberrechtseinschränkungen. Google plädiert hingegen für internationale Kooperation.
