Despite the plan’s inherent evilness, Google is going ahead with forbidding Android developers from publishing apps that they want how they want. #DontBeEvil #Android #DontSaySideload

A good time for other AI companies to back the minimal safeguards cited by Anthropic. Remember the slogan #DontBeEvil?
Thanks for the update! ChatGTP is among the easiest for me to boycott. (I freaking despise that company). If widespread AI adoption becomes imperative for survival in business, I hope we'll have an abundance of decent tools and loads of ethical options to choose from. #DontBeEvil #BoycottChatGPT
Screenshot of Notification from Google Cloud Hello Michael, You may have previously received a notification regarding this update. If so, please disregard this message. We're writing to let you know that Cloud Observability has launched a new OpenTelemetry (OTel) ingestion API that supports native OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) logs, trace spans, and metrics. Starting March 23, 2026, this API will be added as a dependency for the current Cloud Logging, Cloud Trace, and Cloud Monitoring ingestion APIs. This change ensures a seamless transition as collection tools migrate to this new unified endpoint. What you need to know Key changes: - The existing Cloud Observability ingestion APIs (logging.googleapis.com, cloudtrace.googleapis. com, and monitoring.googleapis. com) are automatically activated when you create a Google Cloud project using the Google Cloud console or gc loud CLI. The behavior remains unchanged for projects created via API, which do not have these ingestion APIs enabled by default. Starting March 23, 2026, the new OTel ingestion endpoint telemetry.googleapis.com will automatically activate when any of these specified APIs are enabled. - In addition, we will automatically enable this new endpoint for all existing projects that already have current ingestion APIs active. What you need to do
O.K. #Google !
Dear #Privacy watchers:
I don't understand all of this & I avoid Google products if I can - since their genocide of the beloved #GooglePlus community, & repeal of #DontBeEvil.
BUT, as student of #media & #words... Is this not ominous?

I don't understand half of this, & generally avoid Google products if I can; don't do cloud, and stay un-logged in when possible.

Google Sucks
Is it just us or has Google gotten worse? After years of relentless growth the ‘don’t be evil’ company has monopolized the internet. It’s using this chokehold to drive up revenue by forcing ads on users at the expense of quality & useful search results. #GoogleSucks #DontBeEvil #BlueSky

I know computers are already scanning photos for identifications. My concern is the partnership with soulless corps more motivated by profit than science or learning. I have put a lot of energy into using and promoting inat that now feels wasted when I could have used another platform. #DontBeEvil
