    “Turn on Play Protect”

    None for me, thank you. I see the kinds of garbage that gets into the #Google #Play_Store. I’d rather rely on a few motivated #F-Droid maintainers to inspect and package the software on my devices than your auto-scan software.

    (BTW, let me emphasize again that #de-google is NOT ENOUGH. #DecentraLife ... I want to remove not just Google from my life, but all #corpocentric gatekeepers.)

    “Give Up Google”

    Yes, this is a good trend, but if it stops with Google, it is an absolute failure at protecting privacy. Instead of “De-Google” it needs to be DecentraLife (including giving up #Google, #Facebook, #Amazon, #Microsoft, and other large corporations that spy on users) ... avoiding the concentration of users and resources that enables these companies to abuse users in the first place.

    I’ve completely ignored the talk about #Google #Stadia and such, because I’m not a gamer. But when #lazyNephew grumbles about lag and slowness (the connection here is 50Mbps down and 50Mbps up) in his current gameplay, I imagine that those whose connections are slower than this are having even worse experiences. Therefore, I think a streaming-only game solution is doomed to be unusable in most of the US.

    Maybe they can bring back the local pay-to-play shops where Internet speeds were higher than normal, so that gamers can satisfy their online multiplayer needs. Otherwise, the best online multiplayer experiences will have to come from reviving peer-based LAN parties.

    @xj9 I don't see the context, but I like #YaCy's peer-to-peer search, despite their search algorithm not being anywhere close to #Google in the quality of results (probably close to #Bing, though). I have hosted YaCy instances in the past, in part to help improve the peer network's results by crawling and indexing sites related to databases, Java, Tcl, Python, PHP (the things I was searching for most often at the time).

    I intend to host YaCy again (perhaps feeding a #Searx instance, so its results would not be wholly dependent on the goodwill of big corporate search engines).

    WTF?! My non-rooted phone had #Google Maps pre-installed, but I only use #OSMand for navigation etc.

    Yesterday, I walked to a local restaurant, without using my phone, and had lunch there before walking back.

    I never opened #GoogleMaps.

    Today, I find a notification from Maps:
    How was {restaurant name}?
    Rate places to get smarter recommendations.

    So it tracked and calculated where I ate without even opening my phone or the app.

    Definitely time for #Pinephone / #LibreM

    @snowdusk_ Apple vs Google on privacy: a tale of absolute competitive advantage

    https://2018.ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on-privacy-a-tale-of-absolute-competitive-advantage/

    TL;DR Apple willingly giving up its absolute competitive advantage in privacy over Google would be as daft as Samson shaving his head every morning.

    That said, the long term alternatives are p2p, e2e-encrypted, and free stack (software, hardware, and services).

    • The Human
    @blort @johnnynull I noticed years ago that #DDG’s results differ from #Yahoo’s, which differ from #Bing’s. Non-bubbling may be part of it, but it doesn’t explain the sharply different results (or at least sort order of the results) between the Bing and Yahoo.

    It doesn’t surprise me that #Startpage’s results differ from #Google’s, even beyond the filter bubble.

    As for which to use, I use a variety, including Startpage, but the main one is determined mainly by quality of results, and Startpage’s results are generally inferior to #DuckDuckGo and to #Searx & #Seeks (but far superior to #YaCy or the abysmal results that #Ask gives).
