Soooo what can you do once you've decided that you're going to do all you can to stop genocide in Palestine? Ibraheem suggests:
1) Organize
"You must join the other workers who are raising their voices against their employer for their support of this genocide."
Where lies complicity? Ibraheem:
"You can try and convince yourself, like I did for some time, that the piece of code you’re writing is so far removed from the contract that you aren’t actually doing any harm. (...) But what would you say about a janitor who sweeps the floors of a bomb factory? What about the person who cleans the bathrooms at Lockheed Martin? Would you not say any job at a weapons manufacturer is supporting it?"
@baldur Thank you for this! It's important to spread this message. Moreover, it is important to understand that #AI / #LLMs like #Google #Gemini already refuse to analyze and discuss #White #Conservative #Male politicians: they #Obnubilate #Obfuscate and #Omit. It is important to understand that we can not go back. #CaroleCadwallader is correct: we are living in a #DigitalAutocracy. Use #AI from other countries. Competition among them is one way to resist and rebel. But we can not go back.
#Chrome to patch decades-old flaw that let sites peek at your history
https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/07/chrome_135_history_sniffing/
@Cyberbeni Yes, but this will change this year also and everything #chrome will play in the hands of #google controlling the internet and the content there is.
This is something that's different from the 2000s when Netscape fought for freedom of the world wide web against dominating Microsoft internet explorer. Nowadays nobody cares about it. As long as it is convinient for the user. So Google may take over completely ...
Sometimes the internet is really funny - or scary.
The Chrome browser is one example.
While you believe you are browsing the web, Google is browsing you instead.

Blocking #google #youtube #ads on #apple devices ain't easy.
The best way to block ads on an Apple #mac is using #mozilla #firefox and the extension #ublockorigin. There is no better way, unless you want to pay Google.
The second best on a mac is using Google #chrome and #ublockoriginlight, which wokrs with the new version of Chrome. The full ublock origin extension doesn't, though. (1/5)

How do you typically first know when your role at #Google has been terminated?
Fundamentally, if your role at #Google doesn't relatively directly relate to #AI, you'd best be learning about unemployment insurance. And if your job at Google does relate to AI but mostly involves coding ... the same recommendation holds.
That is, unless you're in upper management of course.
Never forget those photos of smiling Google CEO Sundar up there on the inauguration podium with Trump.
[Google HR is apparently taking their cues from fascist Trump/DOGE] Note by a newly ex-Googler, suddenly eliminated, even though they were
supposed to be on stage at Google I/O and more.
Google Hit With Lawsuit Over Data Collection on School Kids
Nor for nothing, but this is the same issue some parents in Toronto and I tried to raise against Google years ago -- and Google told me that their relationship was with their clients -- the schools -- and the schools consented. It was up to the schools, they claimed, to seek parental consent.
Researcher uncovers dozens of sketchy #Chrome extensions with 4 million installs
A potential chrome-killer? Just saw this article and will look into Zen browser.
This is an odd letter. There is no shortage of religious content on #YouTube (even live streaming), & users do not need to pay for a subscription to the over price #YouTubeTV to view it.

I have not been impressed with #Apple or #Google on the #AI front. Even #Grok is better than those two (which is saying something).
It is surreal to see upstarts beating trillion-dollar companies regarding #ArtificialIntelligence.
Apple's drowning, and Google might be the only lifeline https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/apple-needs-google-now-more-than-ever
I understand why #Google is doing this (as they usually follow the government’s lead when it comes to maps), but this whole “Gulf of #America 
” fiasco is silly.

Okay, now we have confirmation that #Oracle is still doing business with #TikTok (regarding hosting) while #Apple & #Google are not.
I think Apple & Google want an iron clad law passed by Congress before they list TikTok on their App Stores again.
