The problem for me is when someone sends me a location pin it is almost always a Google map link. I have the same issue with people in my community using whatsapp.
I guess you are right, for me I just try to avoid all Google links and products in the first place. I understand that you can tweak privacy controls and settings that allow you to manage how your data with Google is collected, I could also use a privacy browser or incognito, but my main issue is not giving any of these juggernaut corporations a chance to swing and cash in on my personal data.
I’m not ignoring my friends; I’m just pointing out that due to the convenience of these apps, the people around me use them without seeming to care about their privacy implications.
[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”
Yes, this is spot on. So many Aussies introduce unsuspecting tasters to napalm levels of Vegemite that it turns people off for life. It’s like, “Hey champ, let me spread this cube of beef bouillon on your toast; you’re gonna love it.” Marmite has more of a yeasty flavor and, for the record, Promite beats them all hands down.
This reminds me of a time when I was on a bus in Honduras with the entire back third occupied by Nuns, the bus driver put on the action thriller Officer Downe where the scene kicks off with machine gun welding Nuns battling it out in extreme graphic action and gore… Pretty crazy irony.
I just put on an album, The Eminem Show, and I’m curious what everyone else has on. Music, a video, the television, some mystery noise from next door? What’s gracing your ear holes as you read this?
What a coincidence, I was looking at the same thing today. I kept seeing recommendations for Affinity Photo, apparently it has a wide range of features for both Windows and macOS users. It’s got PSD file support, RAW support, masking, layering, retouching, blemish removal, curving, and a comprehensive set of 16-bit filters.
It’s around $50 I think but you own the license forever.
EDIT : I just noticed that this is the Open Source community so I just wanted to mention that Affinity is clearly not that.
