Layoffs are hitting workers at some tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Tesla. Here’s why that may backfire, explains Business Insider’s Tim Paradis. "In short, the effects of layoffs can counter the financial benefits of expenses carved out of a P&L." https://flip.it/KibAk7 #Tech#Career#LayOffs#Google#Microsoft#Tesla
Google’s mobile platform will have to look a little different to compete in the AI era. And, Allison Johnson writes, “If the past 12 months is any indication, it’s going to be a little messy." Read more from @theverge. https://flip.it/xwIUGs #Tech#Technology#AI#Google#Android
#Commons#AI#GenerativeAI#Chatbots#Copyleft#Google#Search: "Ostrom described how commons can be wisely managed, over very long timescales, by communities that self-governed. Part of her work concerns how users of a commons must have the ability to exclude bad actors from their shared resources.
When that breaks down, commons can fail – because there's always someone who thinks it's fine to shit in the well rather than walk 100 yards to the outhouse.
Enshittification is the process by which control over the internet moved from self-governance by members of the commons to acts of wanton destruction committed by despicable, greedy assholes who shit in the well over and over again.
It's not just the spammers who take advantage of Google's lazy incompetence, either. Take "copyleft trolls," who post images using outdated Creative Commons licenses that allow them to terminate the CC license if a user makes minor errors in attributing the images they use:" https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/09/shitting-in-the-well/#advon
Je n’aime pas #google non plus, mais la réalité est loin d’être aussi tranchée, comme souvent. Tout dépend de ce que l’on cherche, et même si j’utilise OM le plus possible, il y a des cas où GMaps est bien meilleur.
Chromium update fixes 5th zero-day exploit for 2024
In Google's release notes for the latest Chromium 124.0.6367.201 source code it is mentioned that this release fixes a zero-day vulnerability. Beware: this is already the 5th zero-day which was reported and fixed in Chromium in 2024.
This vulnerability is already actively exploited in the wi
"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [1/3]
Casual non-techy coworkers yesterday were talking about using excel reports to analyze data & turns out two of the people use #ChatGPT to know how to do something in excel.
So, before this #AI stuff, if you were like, "how do I do X in Excel" in google, you'd get a bunch of hits and then have to wade through the results to see which link was actually what you were looking for, then test out if their solution works.
"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [3/3]
There are over 1 billion websites with over 30 billion web pages out there on the internet and regular search absolutely sucks now. It's no wonder normies are seeing #ChatGPT as magic when it can take 30 billion+ results and give you one answer that's most likely what you are looking for.
I made some comments on a Palestina demonstration video on youtube, but they got deleted/hidden.. video uploader says they didn't do it. Other people also complain of their comments being gone..
Does Google delete pro-Palestinian comments? The pro Zionist ones are still up 😠 Would love to hear if other Youtube users recognize this! Kind of a big thing if true imho..
ps. my comments didn't include any "bad language" whatsoever! It was in a normal conversation..
So I finally contacted Google disability support about the degrading accessibility of the youTube app for iOS. I'm fairly sure I was sent there from the youTube help site. I summarized a lot of the issues I and other Voiceover users have been having with the iOS app, particularly the hellish clutter of search results and recommended videos. The response I got today directed me to write to YouTube premium support, but the page they linked to is only for help with one-time purchases or ongoing subscriptions. As an alternative, I was told to post in the community. There was no acknowledgement of the issues and no offer to pass it along. It very clearly said "You've reached the wrong place."
My interpretation of this e-mail is simple: Google disability support can't file feedback about youTube. If there is a way to do so and reach an accessibility-aware person, I have not found it.
The youTube iOS app has now degraded to the point where it's painful to use. I think this is a good nudge to move the podcast feed generator in-house (literally) and start listening to videos in Overcast. It'll also make me less unfocused and dependent on the algorithm. #Accessibility#Google#YouTube#Enshittification
You cannot visit a #LinkedIn page from a #Chrome browser without LinkedIn creating an account based on the #Google account info that you're logged in with on that Chrome browser, even if you cancel the account creation process that LinkedIn automatically starts.
Because you didn't actually create that account, you cannot delete it. You have to complete the signup process just so you can then proceed to delete it.
Does no one at #microsoft challenge this kind of implementation?
Me fascina que #GooglePodcasts avise de que los episodios de #TodoSonDesgracias ya están disponibles ahí cuando, al estar en proceso de cierre esa plataforma, no se encuentra dicho podcast al buscarlo.
Tampoco permite #YouTubeMusic vincular la fuente RSS para que exista la misma experiencia ahí que en #Spotify. Debería, pero su email de verificación nunca llega.
#Google de momento se queda sin las últimas entrevistas.
Ever since I quit Google I've stopped receiving junk emails, used to come about 10 a day and would end up in promotions folder, or updates, or socials, which google created. Now, I get nothing. Only newsletters, some of which are industry related so I don't mind them. #email#google#webdev
Ein faires und freies Internet und das Fediverse - das alles wird in der Artikelüberschrift genannt. Und dann eine Bezahlschranke. Genau mein Humor. Deshalb ein ganz humorloser Link: https://archive.ph/RQVdX
Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet.
🧵 …langsam aber sicher kommt nun auch die Nicht-Fach-Presse auf das Thema #Privatsphare im #Internet. Was ich empfehle und nutze und aus welchen Gründen habe ich in den Toots oben ausführlich erklärend aufgelistet.
»OpenWebSearch – Der Traum einer offenen #Suchmaschine:
Bisher ist #Google unangefochtener Marktführer im Bereich der Suchmaschinen. Doch nun will eine europäische Initiative endlich für Vielfalt auf dem Suchmaschinenmarkt sorgen. Kann das gelingen?«
