Bad news: Google is rolling out generative AI tools for video creation (Google Vids). It's turned on by default for all Google Workspace users.
Good news: If you turn off Google Vids for your domain, your users won't be able to open Vids files shared with them. Hooray for avoiding deep fakes!
Go forth and disable the latest generative AI nonesense: https://support.google.com/a/answer/14896418

Call me weird but I'll only get an #EV if I can charge it as fast as I can gas up my Corsa D and pay for it in cash (or #Monero if I can get Monero for cash w/o #KYC!) and not have all the "#eCall" #tracking bs in it!
- TBH, I think with the #Enshittification of #Cars, companies deserve to die out because noone but #rich #Boomers wants a big & ugly #SuperUselessVehicle (IDGAF if it's a "#Crossover" or #SUV, it's just a shitty and phat car!) that noone can buy or even finance!
Seriously, I agree with @geerlingguy and I'll refuse to buy @internetofshit / #InternetOfShit devices.
- Seriously, shite like this should be not only #illegal, but prosecuted as fraud.
There is no legitimate reason a #Dishwasher needs #Internet access or an #App.
- You know what my #WashingMachine needs to start (or finish) at a certain time? Me knowing how many hours it'll be from now on till it has to start (and some 2nd grade math to add the time till the program finishes)... IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SHITTY CLOCK INSIDE!!!
Seriously, I'm just mad at this #Enshittification!

18 Years old 480p youtube videos have better picture quaity than 4k videos uploaded yesterday. Yes, they're a bit smudged, but have far far fewer ugly compression artifacts. #enshittification
Finnish Post has decided to start using your data for service planning and development. What for? Well of course for "personalized content and targeted advertising". This is opt-in by default.
"My data may be used for service planning and development, as well as for delivering personalized content and targeted advertising using profiling.
Profiling refers to automated processing of personal data where the information is used to evaluate personal characteristics, such as interests or service usage. The purpose of profiling is to enhance the customer experience and ensure that the customer receives relevant and interesting recommendations and services."
Notably for some reason this is separate from "Marketing consents" and is enabled by default.

@kunev Agree. It's #enshittification narrated

Fun #enshittification artefact arising from the Carole Cadwalladr talk, “This is what a digital coup looks like”.
In it she rightly says:
“We have to learn how to digitally disobey”
and includes as an example
“Don’t accept the cookies”.
And if on iOS you block cookies and then go to https://www.ted.com/talks/carole_cadwalladr_this_is_what_a_digital_coup_looks_like
…the page doesn’t load its content except for a thumbnail of her talk and no video player.

#Enshittification being a plot line for a #BlackMirror episode made me unreasonably angry.
Dammit!

@GossiTheDog Bright side: now I get more calls from clients who pay me to turn this crap off for them. Every time #Microsoft further enshittifies #Windows with more bloatware, spyware, or slopware, I get a spike in requests to uninstall or disable it, and it becomes my primary service request for the next week or two.
Hint, for software developing companies: If people pay for the absence of a feature, then it isn’t a feature. And if your competitor continues anti-consensually imposing such misfeatures on your customer, you have the opportunity to offer a marked competitive advantage by simply not doing that.
Treat consent regarding your customers’ computers the same way anyone deserving to live outside a cage treats consent regarding others’ bodies, and you can take business away from those who are actively contemptuous of consent.
#Komoot fängt wohl schon an zu zerbröseln. Seit etwa 4 Tagen zeigt die Startseite nicht mehr an, wenn meine engsten FreundInnen und sonstige Gefolgte eine neue Tour gemacht haben (Benachrichtigungen bekomme ich eh selten, trotz korrekter Settings). Umgekehrt scheint es ebenso zu sein – ich mache die tollsten Touren, und es gibt keinerlei Reaktionen. Der Support reagiert auch noch nicht. Erlebt ihr auch so komische Sachen?
