Another reason I see for big #software corps pretending to be #hardware corporations is to hide their #monopoly,
#Google = Search, #Meta Messenger + certain parts of Social Media...

Nouveauté de cette saloperie de Chrome : Il détourne le raccourci CTRL+G *globalement* dans le système pour lancer son IA Gemini. Même si vous n'êtes pas en train d'utiliser Chrome.

Just an idea for UK/EU digital legislation.

All non-FOSS, proprietary mobile apps must have a web alternative. This will allow people to use services without relying on Apple/Google services and telemetry via a phone web browser of their choice (rather than having to download the app).

Yes - there'll be plenty of cases where this can't happen, but I think it's a good starting point.

Book publishers sue Google for copyright infringement over Gemini AI training: theguardian.com/books/2026/jul…

'A group of major publishers have filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the company of illegally using millions of copyrighted books to help build its Gemini artificial intelligence models, in “one of the most prolific infringements of copyrighted materials in history”.

The case, filed in federal court in New York, has been brought by three publishers – Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, and Elsevier – and bestselling American author Scott Turow.'

Google rikkoi internetin sanattoman sopimuksen tekoälyn luomilla vastauksillaan ja vei verkkosivustojen julkaisijoilta tärkeimmän syyn olla Googlen hakukoneessa mukana - eli hakukoneesta tulevat käyttäjät

Google ei myöskään anna sivustojen olla mukana perinteisissä hakutuloksissa, mutta kieltäytyä sisältönsä käytöstä tekoälyn koulutukseen.

Nyt osa isoimmista verkkosivustoista harkitsee temppua, joka oliis ollut täysin mahdoton vielä muutamia vuosia sitten: ne aikovat poistoa kokonaan Googlesta.

NEW: How Google and AI Nearly Made a Seasoned Reporter Spiral

"I thought I had missed something major in my reporting. Turns out I had stumbled into an AI-fueled feedback loop that involved a real LLC’s fictional website and a search engine that’s thrusting unreliable answers on users."

Every webmaster needs to drop #reCAPTCHA *IMMEDIATELY*. reCATPCHA always kind of sucked, but this goes WAY too far.

And users should refuse to send ANY camera pictures. First they say it’s "only" the hand. Next it’s your face.

#Google is probably testing out the waters to see how far they can go.


“Google wants a look at your hands before it lets you through. The company’s newest reCAPTCHA check, rolling out now as a test, asks you to switch on your camera and wave at it so an algorithm can decide whether you’re a human or a bot.

That wave is less casual than it looks. The system records a short video of your hand and pulls 21 hand-landmark coordinates from it, mapping your finger joints, your palm geometry, and the way you move in real time.

Google describes the purpose as liveness detection, a way for websites to fend off automated account creation, credential-stuffing, and other fraud. But this is still a biometric scan, collected so you can prove you’re a person and still involves turning on your cameras for Google.”

More than 200k users said NO!

More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!

#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!

We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.

We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.

If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.

If you use a search engine, you found it.

If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.

But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google
