I assumed they would log everything and create a profile in you from day one. I signed up with a fresh email account.

Even Aurora store vets all the apps for trackers. Google just take the money and serve up malware.

At least these days it’s farily obvious when an app is looking at your location or listening in with the mic.

It’s a link to a podcast page that returns a 404.

Literally unplayable.

Every company I worked for is like this. I sneak small improvements into daily work. If I call an old function, I’ll often fix it while I’m there. Don’t raise tickets. Don’t ask. Just fix it.

I also have a shelf of a hundred fixes that I never merged. I’ve done the work, but the real hurdle is PR and and testing. It takes days of effort to push code that took an hour to write.

Australia did this once. We called it “robodebt”. An algorithm that falsely cut people off social security and ultimately killed some of them.

I have a Hisense and there isn’t actually a button to view TV off the antenna. It takes about 5 button presses to get there. Absolutely cooked.

This Google Free TV thing is not TV by definition.

It’s becoming quite rare to change the CR2032 on a PC motherboard these days. Even those tend to outlive the hardware.

Someone’s gotta charge the eels.

I wonder if an Android calendar would be considered. Google’s calendar seems to dominate since the AOSP was dropped (it’s kinda maintained under the “Etar” brand now). Thunderbird desktop has a calendar.

TBH this is why I’ve never used Telegram.
