I have a very small number of old white guy car friends, who are civilized enough to at least STFU (most seem at least marginally better-behaved than that, but we're talking low standard here). I make it a point to let them all know I'm gay/queer.

This is the sort of thing that crowd is passing around. Just FYI.

I take it as a nice temperature-taking from scenes-not-this-one. No one is happy with this shit.

A man calls Pizza hut to order a pizza...
CALLER: Is this Pizza Hut?
GOOGLE: No sir, it's Google Pizza.
CALLER: I must have dialed a wrong number, sorry.
GOOGLE: No sir, Google bought Pizza Hut last month.
CALLER: OK. I would like to order a pizza.
GOOGLE: Do you want your usual, sir?
CALLER: My usual? You know me?
GOOGLE: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.
CALLER: Super! That’s what I’ll have.
GOOGLE: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?
CALLER: What? I don’t want a vegetarian pizza!
GOOGLE: Your cholesterol is not good, sir.
CALLER: How the hell do you know that?
GOOGLE: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
CALLER: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetarian pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.
GOOGLE: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you purchased only a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once at Lloyds Pharmacy, 4 months ago.

I read somewhere that the main difference between americans and europeans is that europeans trusts governements but not companies whereas americans trust companies but not governements.
Due to EU data protection law (GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/ ) and the recent Digital Act (https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/digital-services-act_en ) the anecdote should not work here (should being the operative word). Hopefully eventually we'll curb those big data stealer 😉

Not only that, but enshitification being what it is, the proprietary service will probably stop being available when you need it most, for example looking for google maps in a god forsaken place with no internet, whereas using OSM with maps on phone bypasses completely the problem.

So glad to see I'm not the only one!!!
I can still hear my son asking why I wanted to buy a map for (whe just arrived in Australia) when we had a GPS in the car !
Not to mention all the friends coming to the boat and wondering why I have papercharts when I have a nice GPS on board as well.
They don't seem to realize that at sea if the battery dies, you can't just call AAA... (It's a sailboat so I can come back with no engine 🙂 )
But yes. Here the keyword is "degrowth".

People (finally ?) realize that the rat race must be over, we must find a way to stop rushing forward with consumerism.
Luckily pretty much everybody agrees on that.
The debate has moved forward and is now on the how.
Probably not fast enough for the planet, but at least we're getting there, hence all the EU regulations for right to repair, unified charger, etc (which will affect the US since producers won't produce 2 different units if they can avoid it).

Yes.I just hope it does get it in a non dangerous situation.

As the saying goes "those of you who think they know it all are tiring those of us who do" 😉

It was quite funny actually because all I could find was a not very detailed map which I bought nonetheless, until I realized the reason there was nothing on the map was because...they was nothing.
Australian outback is pretty empty.
I started worrying when even the AM radio didn't pick anything.

Lors du dernier s'est encore posé la question, pour les personnes qui venaient pour la première fois, de savoir comment nous reconnaître. Par chance, @mag avait ramené un arrosoir !
Mais d'autres groupes auront peut être la même idée à l'avenir, et j'avais une idée en tête pour nous rendre uniques et repérables.

Mais d'abord, rappelons que le framadate pour le prochain est en ligne, et sera clôturé dans quelques jours.

According to Apple’s lawyers, "no reasonable user would expect that their actions in Apple’s apps would be private from Apple."

I repeat to make it clear: According to Apple itself, no reasonable Apple user should expect privacy when using the device.

So let’s make it even more clear: if you expect basic privacy using your Apple device, you are "unreasonable" (= a fool).
