Yes, enshittification.
But also complaining while not leaving because of money… ie, we don’t like this, but that sweet ad revenue from YouTube… rings hollow.

Google vaatii viranomaisia puuttumaan OpenAI:n ja Microsoftin väliseen sopimukseen
Googlea kismittää se, että Microsoftin Azure-pilvipalveluilla on yksinoikeus tarjota pilviasiakkailleen OpenAI:n kielimalleja. Ja tästä tietysti kärsii Googlen oma pilviliiketoiminta.

Google vaatii viranomaisia puuttumaan Microsoftin ja OpenAI:n väliseen sopimukseen
Google on esittänyt vetoomuksen FTC:lle siitä, että OpenAI:n kielimallit pitäisi tuoda myös Googlen ja Amazonin pilvipalveluihin. Nykyisin OpenAI:n tekoäly on tarjolla vain Microsoftin Azure-pilvipalvelussa.Petteri Pyyny (AfterDawn)
This might grind my gears more than it should, but I really don't like the days where I feel like I'm living in a @pluralistic story and the service providers slowly tug on the rug underneath me.
If this is intentional by The #Google, I -really- hope they roll it back.
The margins in the GMeet compositor takes up 800 (~66%) extra horizontal pixels, which might not seem like much on a vertical 4k monitor, but is -really- annoying.
I use #Google meet for meetings in #Firefox, which works well most of the time.
Some meetings, I just watch a presentation, which I tend to attend from my desk. I like to pop the video feed out from the browser and put it as a separate window tile on my screen, removing the margins from the GMeet composer.
Today I found out that this doesn't work anymore. media.ccc.de works, but if I pop the GMeet feed, it just re-attaches to the GMeet composer within seconds.
Anyone else experienced this?

I know the outcome of the presidential election in #Romania has a web of complex reasons. But it would be ludicrous to ignore the dangerous impact that #bigtech's laissez-faire and its #trackingads and content #monetisation business model has. Not only #tiktok but also #google and #meta:

good article.
But what about the apps that #Google pre-installs on Android? We can't uninstall them, and you can't even sign out of the rest if you just need one of them (if you sign out of the YouTube app it signs you out of ALL Google services).
My views have hardened after researching #surveillancecapitalism and I now consider all of Google's apps to be #adware / #spyware.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

#Microsoft is being investigated by the #FTC over #antitrust concerns
Source: theverge.com/2024/11/27/243077…
But in recent years Microsoft has mostly escaped the kind of antitrust scrutiny applied to #Amazon, #Apple, #Meta, and #Google, each of which is fighting its own #monopoly charges from the #government.
If you call it Meta instead of #Facebook then Google is #Alphabet. Good journalism is so hard to find... 😩

“But it is illegal to leverage one’s monopoly power to maintain that monopoly, basically to stay a monopolist by means other than simply having the best product.”
This actually sounds more like a fitting description of #Microsoft: products so awful, it hurts.
NB: not saying that to defend Chrome. I don't want to use that either.

Since #Google #Chrome decided to limit developers and users in terms of what extensions they can run, and how good they are, I think it's time to place that browser where it belongs (in the bin), and replace it with anything else, since everything else is better.
Here is a look at some popular browsers, and some new ones I hadn't tried and that suitably impressed me:
#Google's AI tool, OSS-Fuzz, has detected 26 #vulnerabilities in #opensource projects, including a significant flaw in #OpenSSL.
This flaw, which could lead to application crashes or remote code execution, has existed for nearly 20 years and was only found thanks to AI-generated testing methods.

I don't think selling #Chrome will change #Google's dominance in search. It can be and is used in other browsers unless users choose a different one. #Tech
