Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

You act like it is Google’s fault that someone found questionable software on the phone they got from Rent-a-center or Alibaba.

Google made the app.

sources and image transcript:

  • the top half of the image is screenshot of this article about a startup claiming to be able to use ultrasound to induce lucid dreams so that “people can work in their sleep”. (spoiler: it’s vaporware)
  • the lower half of the image is a screenshot from this (imo worth-watching) 2 minute video from 2016: Hayao Miyazaki’s thoughts on an artificial intelligence with the subtitle “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” There is a more detailed description of that video here. (Guillermo del Toro agrees.)

i think “mitigates the” would be more accurate here

You interpret this meme as being in favor of the US banning TikTok? I don’t.

It’s a mild pain and definitely not what we were promised

I think this is precisely what the ActivityPub model of federation promised, actually 😅

It sure is convenient for law enforcement and others to have the ability to immediately get the IP addresses of all visitors to a specific URL. (They just need to circumvent the OHTTP by asking fastly and google to collude…)

The spiders tell themselves that they’re keeping the tiny frogs around because they’re killing pests and also kind of cute but, really, there is a brain parasite in the frogs’ feces - tiny amounts of which are all over the floor of the spiders’ burrows - which makes the spiders believe this.

two weeks later: GitLab confirms it’s removed Suyu, a fork of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu

sad to see their new git hosting is behind cloudflare 😢
