  1. The incredible extent that Google goes to try and prevent you from bulk deleting your data from their servers is incredible.

    I'm currently battling the removal of my old Google Photos. They have rate-limits and other built-in processes to try and detect any automation to make the process easier for the end user.

    Their UI sure as hell isn't designed to make this simple.

  2. #Google's colourful, playful logo is imprinted on human retinas just under six billion times each day, 2.1 trillion times a year - an opportunity for respondent conditioning enjoyed by no other company in history.

  3. Times have changed in research and if you are not using Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Wikipedia, #Google, and the like, you will be left in the dark.

  4. Although the #Internet could be making all of us smarter, it makes many of us stupider, because it's not just a magnet for the curious. It's a sinkhole for the #gullible. It renders everyone an instant expert. You have a degree? Well, I did a #Google search!

  5. ...large technologies such as #Google need to be broken up and regulated, because their consolidated power and cultural influence make competition largely impossible. This #monopoly in the information sector is a threat to #democracy...

  6. The implications of such marginalization are profound. The insights about #sexist and #racist biases... are important because information organizations, from libraries to schools and universities to governmental agencies, are increasingly reliant on being displaced by a variety of web-based "tools" as if there are no #political, #social, or economic consequences of doing so.

  9. You know something is profoundly wrong with our economy when Big Tech has a higher take rate than the mafia.

  11. My guess is (it will be) about 300 years until computers are as good as, say, your local reference library in search.

  12. Trivia are not knowledge. Lists of facts don't comprise knowledge. Analyzing, hypothesizing, concluding from data, sharing insights, those comprise knowledge. You can't #google for knowledge.

  13. All of a sudden, we’ve lost a lot of control,’ he said. ‘We can’t turn off our internet; we can’t turn off our smartphones; we can’t turn off our computers. You used to ask a smart person a question. Now, who do you ask? It starts with g-o, and it’s not God…

  14. In the Information Age, the first step to sanity is FILTERING. Filter the information: extract for knowledge.

    Filter first for substance. Filter second for significance. These filters protect against advertising.

    Filter third for reliability. This filter protects against politicians.

    Filter fourth for completeness. This filter protects against the media.

  20. I #googled “what to do when your future werewolf mate / boyfriend /best friend courts you and brings you a dead rabbit.”

    First, there was a lot of porn. Then I found a recipe for Maltese rabbit stew. It was delicious. The stew, not the porn. The porn was weird.

  25. Hirveä sisäinen #kuumotus meneillään. Tilasin nyt sen #Jolla'n puhelimen. Tai teknisesti ottaen ostin paikan jonosta.

    Kuumotusta helpottaa, että puhelinta ei ole pakko tilata, vaan jonotusrahan saa takaisin.

    Tänään satuin keskustelemaan työkaverin kanssa että miten "taas" säästetään väärin. Ja siitä kimpaantuneena, totesin että haluan ehkä luopua puhelinedusta.

    Siksi nyt laitoin tilaukseen oman puhelimen.

  26. Mulla oli luurissa (Android) ongelma, että Teams-linkit eivät auenneet sovelluksessa vaan selaimessa, mikä puolestaan herjasi asentamaan sovelluksen. Voi liittyä siihen, että olen poistanut Play Storen käytöstä ja asentanut kaikki sovellukset ilman G-tiliä Aurora Storen kautta.

    Joka tapauksessa ongelma ratkesi sillä, että kävi kytkemässä kokouslinkkien domainin päälle polusta Sovellukset -> Oletussovellukset -> Linkkien avaaminen -> Teams -> Tuetut verkko-osoitteet.

    It sounds like Home Assistant is maturing nicely - but are you still paying a lot for hardware? Like I couldn't even find a lightbulb on Amazon that I could tell is compatible
