@davidgerard Thanks for the warning. Never used it, and now I'm super extra convinced never to ever try it either.

@davidgerard Folks, you can't fix stupid. Take your data to a local solution under your personal control, and shove all that Google cloud crap where the sun don't shine.Every action remaining within the Google universe will be futile. Don't be evil!

@AvonVilla EDIT: hi FOSS evangelists, we're already on fucking Mastodon. This is like walking up to someone in church who's wearing a white collar and asking if they've heard of Jesus.

@davidgerard I understand the point you're trying to make, but it's not like that at all. I also don't know what this has to do with Mastodon, either the software or instances of Mastodon.I didn't mean to sound dismissive or to make you salty - apologies.When there's a problem, you might tell someone how to fix the symptom and you might tell them how to fix the problem. Doing both is better than doing just one. Fixing the Gemini symptom is one thing, but fixing the problem is simply not using Google.People shouldn't wait until they've been abused enough to start considering how they might walk away from their abuser.

@dazzr@social.tchncs.de Please describe for us how to do this reliably and without putting one's livelihood at risk if one works for a corporation that requires use of Google cloud products. If your description includes finding a different job, please detail a reliable method by which the user can find a workplace that does not use big tech cloud products and secure employment with them at equal or greater compensation. @davidgerard@circumstances.run

@abucci @dazzr @davidgerard Don't be thick about this; your work's data is not *your* data. Take *your* data off Google. I've also had to use Google shit for work, and my solution is/was to use a different browser than my personal goto exclusively for accessing Google. A little hassle, occasionally, but keeps work nicely separated from life, and keeps Google's surveillance nicely contained (as far as that's possible at a personal level.)

@mikro2nd@indieweb.socialDon't be thick about this; your work's data is not your data. Take your data off Google.Telling people to take their data off Google to solve the problems AI is causing us is the same as telling people to change their lightbulbs to "fix" climate change. This brand of individualist and libertarian "advice" has fully failed. We are where we are in so many areas of life because there is no individual solution to systemic and collective problems like this. Rather than continually telling people to break out their teaspoons as a tsunami bears down on them, how about we try something else.You accuse me of being thick, but you seem to have failed to see that my post is satirizing "change your lightbulbs" non-solutions. Or you opted to scold at me instead of engaging with the satire, I guess.@dazzr@social.tchncs.de @davidgerard@circumstances.run

@davidgerardOr, you see, simply set up an echo network of focused parabolic repeater radios spaced at precise Schumann resonant intervals across your county to imprison your data in a geodesic reflection mesh, retrievable at any one of the convenient antinodes in the geometric median between repeaters by holding a vial of plasmodic aether draped in a fine copper foil to the heavens and allowing it to re-enter the spirit. Using google instead of a harmonic ether grid is just begging to be #enshittified

@davidgerard Thanks for this advice: I found it on the Web settings interface (in two places, confusingly: I turned both off).
