Today Google is turning on activity tracking for many users that previously turned it off. - https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/google-turns-on-activity-tracking-even-if-turned-off/
Effective today, Google is changing its Workspace Settings, including a change that activates activity tracking for all users of Google Workspace accounts even if the organizations admin disabled activity tracking for all users previously. What is more, admins can no longer control this setting for their users, but all users need to invidually toggle the tracking off again.
@devinprater why!? It's like Undercover Boss, you should feel grateful the gods of management come down to acknowledge your existence and how you make money for them.
@weirdwriter@writeout.ink good article. Trying to use other words would increase my vocabulary as well. It's like when people use fuck to describe everything. You have to use context to understand what they mean. When I want to use a discriminatory phase or word I have to think what I really mean and say it better.
@TechNews Magpies are my favourite bird and we have a lot in Perth. I didn't know heatwaves were very bad for them. And I also haven't seen magpies roll on the ground and play with each other. So cool.
Problems we face today:
❌ Climate crisis
❌ Systemic inequality
❌ War, poverty, and disease
Silicon Valley’s solutions:
✅ Blockchain
✅ NFTs
✅ Billionaires in space
What planet are these people on?
@aral YouTube on any android web browser does the same.
@blindscribe reading your latest post, this seems to be more than an annoyance. I hope everything sorts itself out and you can get back to doing what you love.
@blindscribe I think SMS has less potential for man in the middle attacks then something like email. SMS does suffer from number porting. But the sites probably want as much personal information as they can get.
My first computer was a Commodore C16 in 1986, followed by a C128D in 1987, on which I ran the included CP/M 3.0 and wrote my first Turbo pascal programs on it.
1991, I got my first MS-DOS-based PC with a real screen reader, HAL v4.5 by @yourdolphin.

Blind people online have to answer these kind of questions constantly.
So help raise some awareness & share this…

Universal Audio said they'd invest in Linux support for their devices if tens of thousands of people signed a petition. So, here's that petition:

@madargon Caption: Internet at the beginning. Person riding a bird over green pastures with people camping and having fun everyehere. Internet now. Same person carrying shoulder bag on a stick walking through a PoW style camp with a welcome sign, trip wires, holes, and security cameras.
Sad illustration...
I had first vision for this after reading some chapters of "Permanent Record".

@aral I signed but I am working on a Web 3.0 app. I see data being distributed as part of the semantic web. People can hook into the network and share using a device and not a server.
I am into science and climate activism. I love to learn about social issues and to challenge my own perspectives. I'm also into free and open-source software and I am back in University studying computer science.
