So what could be a really useful thing is now just a 24/7 surveilance device that will record everything, even when you have sex, when you talk about fantasies and so on.

I guarantee you that in no time the justice department will be interested in having access to all that

If a song isn’t recognized, a short digital fingerprint may be sent to Google to securely search the cloud. Background conversations and audio are never sent to Google.

And, of course, Google will honor this and any other setting, as always, right? Right?

[–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 12 points 19 hours ago

If you've got an android, go into your phone's dev options and try to turn off Google's location tracking service, or the one that tracks screen inputs, or the one that checks what wifi networks are around you.

They've been dishonourable from day 1 :C

As soon as they got away with "federated learning" (basically use your phone to train ai then just phone the results home rather than your data) 🤢 they knew they could just keep pushing and pushing and pushing until they have it all

That's such bs short digital fingerprint is anything compressed and encrypted

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 18 hours ago

I love the idea. Having a sortable, searchable list of everything that hits my plate day to day would be an awesome boon, I simply don't want anyone else to have that data :(

First setting change, turn off audio memory.

Any soviet officials still alive must be going crazy: "wait, they actually pay to be surveilled???"

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'd trust talking revolution with a soviet commissar more than I'd ever trust a modern day company listening in on my everyday everything.

I got banned from Reddit for:

  • Saying Peter Thiel should be turned into soup.
  • Saying Peter Th-iel should be turned into soup.
  • Explaining to someone that I had two warnings about saying Peter Thiel should be turned into soup, which was then deleted and replaced with "user is banned for this post"

They're scared. You hear me, Peter? I'm coming for you with carrots and onions.

[–] tigermountain@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Fucking Reddit.

Soylent green is made of Peter Thiel!

[–] GrackleBirb@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago

I feel like that would be Soylent Putrid Brown or Boyblood Red

Honestly, I thought they already did that.

One of my motivations for becoming more privacy minded, was the amount of times a subject of conversation was delivered through an algorithm later.

It was creepy, talk about hose pipes> receive hosepipe content/ads.

[–] BurgerBaron@quokk.au 11 points 19 hours ago

I think so but now it's being marketed as a feature which is nauseating.

And this is why I de-googled my phones. Fuck off with that surveillance bullshit.

[–] GutterRat42@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So, my options are iPhone or Graphene?

I m trying SailfishOS with the new Jolla Phone. Only a suitable choice for nerds I suppose, but that's not an issue for me.

[–] gorkur@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

How's banking working on Sailfish? Seriously considering Jolla for my next phone but it must work with my bank app.

Fuck you this is my idea

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 16 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Because they weren't already listening in?

[–] lemmelemmy@feddit.org 17 points 21 hours ago

They don’t need to hide it anymore thanks to all surveillance legislations. So it can be marketed as feature.

Really looking forward for graphene firmware for Motorola phones.

Reason n+1 for me being thankful for switching to GrapheneOS.

You still gave your money to Google for the phone....
