Yeah... Bullshit.
I no longer have the confidence in Google to believe anything they're telling me.
Another good reason to go for LineageOS/GrapheneOS.
🖕
- GrapheneOS is such great experience
  
  Just disrupting the tracking/advertising pipelines a little bit is reason enough to use GrapheneOS. Everything else it does is just an epic bonus for me.
  
  I may have to finally make the switch. Are there any initial pains that you found from switching?
  
  If you have a pixel. I use calyxOS since I don't and it's a bit more secure than lineage.
  Also, if you bought your phone through your cell provider, its probably not happening. The bootloader is probably locked. There miiight be some janky tutorials to get around it, but you might brick your phone. Ask me how i know.
  
  I wish it was available for my phone :/
- Did you read the article? The GrapheneOS devs are saying the exact same thing as Google here...
  Personally though I wouldn't trust the GrapheneOS devs much, they're a bunch of divas.
- You appear to have posted a negative opinion of 'ol Musky
  Please remain seated, DOGE will collect you for reeducation soon.
  Thanks Google!
- I'm trying to convince my fiend to sell his still in box new phone and install Lineage OS on his current one.
Doesn't matter. It should be opt in, not secretly installing itself on your device automatically
Is this going to be another one where they fuck up the recog, cancel your google account and report you to the cops because you text pics of your kid to his doctor?
Imagine buying a piece of technology and have some fucking creep in mountain view constantly pinging your device doing god knows what but he is doing this because he think you are spreading CSAM so that's like totally cool.
Bu here we are and majority of pedons accept it and will even defend the behavior because they got nothing to hide.
Put nest camera with alexa in your bedroom, cuck.
- What happens when it's other things that become illegal? Like certain topics. Like trans rights. Like the genocide in Palestine. Like abortions. Like criticizing Trump.
- From the article:
  "Classifying things like this is not the same as trying to detect illegal content and reporting it to a service," GrapheneOS said. "That would greatly violate people's privacy in multiple ways and false positives would still exist. It's not what this is and it's not usable for it."
- Lol Mountain View... Elon Musk has a bunch of satellites that can communicate directly with your phone via 4G almost anywhere in the world.
- It's the carrier's phone, not yours. That's how they offer such low prices.
I already uninstalled it. Already enough Google spyware on my phone.
That's a mouthful of almost meaningless techno babble of a headline.
If it's really what is described (an app that other apps can use to classify content without querying a server), seems like a good thing to me. There is a clear need for people to be able to filter spam and things they don't want to see. Imagine a Lemmy app where you can set it to not show you US politics related posts, where it will work regardless of whether specific keywords are in the title. Couldn't that kind of thing contribute to a more decentralized web?
- Not from google it ain't.
  
  Google is usually evil but are you really going to just decide what technology is good or bad based on who made it instead of what it does?
