Wie Google angekündigt hat wird zum 02.04.2026 das Betriebsmodell von reCAPTCHA weltweit umgestellt. Der Dienst wandelt sich von einem Angebot mit eigener Datenhoheit hin zu einer klassischen Auftragsverarbeitung.https://www.heise.de/news/Schluss-mit-Datensammelwut-Google-macht-reCAPTCHA-DSGVO-konformer-11169139.html#Google #reCaptcha #Datenschutz #AVV

@stairjoke Yikes. That's a strange bug!

@BuyFromEU Great idea, if only @ecosia would not use #googletagmanager to still send data to #google

Wow, 1658 contributions to the European Open Digital Ecosystems call for evidence. From anonymous developers, major #opensource projects, to academic institutions and even... #google (Ireland) itself, this is a massive response. Distilling and synthesizing all that feedback surely a major task, but therein lies much wisdom and ideas about how to take concrete steps towards Europe's #digitalsovereigntyInteresting times indeed.https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/16213-European-Open-Digital-Ecosystems_en

@ncoca The greater offense here is the DHS official who sent #DHS agents to harass someone who exercised his protected right to speak.Don't expect #Google or any corporation in any country to risk the state taking legal action against them to defend the rights of their customers. They won't.

@nitpicking Yes, I want all of these things that you have mentioned.If a user from #Adobe, #Google, or #Microsoft switches to #FOSS apps, then they should feel at home.They should be able to create their content flawlessly and in the same time as they are used to.So, the solution could be a universal FOSS account, deep integration and collaboration of these #opensource apps, compatible file sharing, or any entirely new #innovation. Do you have any #ideas? Feel free to share.

#Israel told #YouTube to stop streaming #AlJazeera in the country and #Google complied. Maybe they didn't want to, but they're a business who could easily be punished for not doing so.But media is not like selling widgets. Info, opinions and art change societies. A diversity of journalism is required to do civics.That's why it must be decentralized. Separate pieces become defensible in their own right, forcing censors to justify limiting access to individuals directly.#owncast #peertube

@guyjantic Office 354: 96.98% as good as Office365? Or does it stop working on Dec 20th every year?

Greedy, but too tired to create value? Try 30-40 acquisitions. 30-40 acquisitions: an easy shareholder meeting.Shut down all of their products and lay off the employees.You will certainly not regret making 30-40 acquisitions. #shitpost #capitalism #google #stonks

Really, the only thing you need to know about Google's agentic #AI #Chrome "Auto Browsing" feature is that #Google says YOU are responsible for all actions the agentic AI takes on your behalf. That's the whole ballgame. Right off the cliff. Don't touch it. Don't use it. Don't get anywhere near it.

@[email protected] Yep. #Signal hatte ja auch angekündigt, dass wenn die #Chatkontrolle in #Europa kommt, sie den Dienst in Europa einstellen werden.Eigentlich wäre so was wie #Matrix natürlich noch besser, da wie das #Fediverse dezentralisiert, aber da bekommt man die Leute noch weniger hin als zu Signal Überhaupt haben die Allermeisten den Schuss noch nicht gehört, was #USA, #unplugTrump und #BigData angeht.Erst gerade wieder nach Eintritt in einen neuen #Verein ganz selbstverständlich:"Ich nehme dich in unsere #WhatsApp Gruppe auf, falls das Training ausfällt.""Ich habe kein WhatsApp."→ Ungläubige Fragezeichen im Gesicht Alles, wirklich alles wird nach wie vor in #WhatsAppGruppen organisiert, von Verein über #Kindergarten, #Schule, #Familie bis zur firmeninternen Kommunikation 🤮@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

@chris Have you thought of using something like Mailstore to archive the emails locally. I have only used the home user version but I think they also have business versions.https://www.mailstore.com/en/products/mailstore-home/

New, from me: Who Operates the Badbox 2.0 Botnet?The cybercriminals in control of Kimwolf -- a disruptive botnet that has infected more than 2 million devices -- recently shared a screenshot indicating they'd compromised the control panel for Badbox 2.0, a vast China-based botnet powered by malicious software that comes pre-installed on many Android TV streaming boxes. Both the FBI and Google say they are hunting for the people behind Badbox 2.0, and thanks to bragging by the Kimwolf botmasters we may now have a much clearer idea about that.https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/01/who-operates-the-badbox-2-0-botnet/#infosec #botnet #IoT #Android #Google #threatresearch
