Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive hosted PDF files without permission — user complains feature can't be disabled
  • For the people who didn't read the article. Read this TLDR: When you open a Google Doc. A Gemini sidebar appears, so you can ask questions about the document. Here, it summarized a document without the user asking.

    The article title makes it seem like they are using your files to train AI which no proof exists for that(yet)

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • 99% was referring to them not being both tech savy and extremely privacy conscious. I don't disagree that the appeal of Firefox is better privacy. I just don't think the average user is looking to absolutely remove every drop of data collected. I mean just look at the default Firefox homepage it comes with. It has sponsored shortcuts and sponsored stories. They put them there because the average user actually clicks on them. If everyone was privacy conscious like you say, they would turn off the feature and Firefox wouldn't keep it because they don't make money from it. But that's obviously not the case.

  • I mean it might not be the most performant. But I've build with React and it made it easier to build projects quickly. Regardless, my point wasn't about React and if it's good or bad. My point was that Meta can build a framework that's not about collecting data. Sometimes they have other motives.

    Here I think the reason they are co-authoring this is to try to paralyze Google's hold on personalized ads and user data. And probably reduce scrutiny of their data collecting actions in the sense that their new data collecting will be based on PPA if it goes mainstream.

  • Why is the US not considered a third world country?
  • Interesting, I didn't know that. I just remember my country being at the bottom that's why I said it that way.

    I just looked it up, Corruption Perceptions Index: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2023 places most corrupt at the bottom. But I think you are right because corruption ranking should have the most corrupt on the top. I.e you are 1st at corruption

  • Super welcoming community here. Disagree with them they immediately want you out. Anyways, React is not a programming language, it's a framework built on Javascript. My point was that hating on anything Meta built is stupid because they can build ok things

  • Locked Removed
    Somebody Fucked Up
  • This is not a meme. This is just an excuse to talk politics in a meme community. I've blocked all political communities, but people keep posting these low quality posts to talk politics. Why are people upvoting this shit?

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • I mean people freaking out about this don't actually understand what's happening and why Mozilla is doing it. Mozilla is trying to build a new privacy-based advertising. The feature needs to be opt-in by default in order to have a chance to become mainstream. Forget about the technical details and whether the user understands what it is. Most people don't change default settings. So they can never get websites to try this better technology if their own users aren't adopting it.

    I also hate the attitude of this community they think Firefox is built for them(ultra tech savy, extremely privacy concious) when 99% of their users are not these things. If you want ultra privacy, go use Libreawolf or whatever. Those solutions are for that type of person. Firefox and Mozilla builds for the average person, which is why they correctly say that the user won't understand the feature. (Anyone says otherwise is in a tech bubble and haven't seen normal people interacting with their computers).

  • Why is the US not considered a third world country?
  • It's obvious you don't know anything about third world countries and probably have never been to one. I am sure that there are problems in your country to complain about, but coming from an actual third-world country, calling the US third world is just plain naive. The average monthly wage in my country is 25$ a month, not to mention the war and corruption. The US usually ranks 25-50 on world corruption indices. Third world countries rank 100-200. If you think US has corruption. You haven't seen shit
