Apparently, this is live since at least October 2025:
Instead of image puzzles, #reCAPTCHA can display a QR code that you cannot "verify" without a smartphone running Google Play Services:
https://piunikaweb.com/2026/05/07/google-recaptcha-play-services-requirement/
This not only locks out de-googled phones, but since QR codes can be generated per browser request, Google can track exactly you visited a specific webpage, confirmed by your own smartphone. Which means: It doesn't even matter whether you're using a VPN.

[1] Neither this nor the barebones Google announcement page mention cameras, but I absolutely will not extend Google the benefit of the doubt given its "let's be evil as long as it makes us money" attitude. Until solid evidence to the contrary shows up, assume a #camera is included in these AR glasses.

But there's money to be made in supporting the #NetanyahuAdmininstrations crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and land theft. You want to let somebody else make that profit?

Got this winner from Google in my inbox this morning.
"We’re writing to inform you of the price change that will go into effect for your Google Workspace Business ... The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value ..."
Translation:
"We've included something which adds negative value to you. You're also going to pay more for ot."Of course changing products would be difficult. Literal example of #enshittification

Amid the cries of 'just use f-droid' when talking about Google curtailing the Nextcloud sync client in Play Store, I notice that very few have bothered to include a link.
There are a considerable number of apps if you search for 'Nextcloud' in f-droid. A little daunting for new users, or those just unaware (or time poor).
The one to use is https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nextcloud.client/

Because "Be just evil enough to satisfy the 'line goes up forever' people indefinitely" didn't fit on the T-shirt.

I just did a Google search and the third link says "No information available for this page" clicking the "Learn why" link for that entry leads to an explanation that the site has blocked it via robots.txt.
FFS Google. Honor the damn robots.txt. If they've blocked you, you shouldn't be indexing the page.

Apparently, so many people were leaving 1-star reviews for the “Gulf of America” on Google Maps that Google is blocking new reviews.
Check for yourself if you want:

I'm genuinely curious about Kagi search. @ludicity is the second writer/blogger/chastiser-of-naked-emperors whose opinion I trust that appears to sing Kagi’s praises.
Does anyone else have well-formed opinions on their usage of #Kagi? Its utility appears to be well-demonstrated, so I’m particularly interested from a perspective of #privacy, #security, and the odds that it won’t be #ruinedbyprivateequity

The #BorgSite is moribund.
It has been since the #QLoon bought it backed by the likes of MBS.
However, in so doing, it has been becoming less and less relevant.The real battle to watch is the one the #BeEvil company and the #RottenApple are fighting to subjugate the #OpenWeb.
The former seems to be already in the roll-out process. Take a look at the linked long article. Horrifying. -
