It's also robotwashing. These fundamentally aren't robots, both because they're remotely motivated and because they make no decisions on their own.

You just quoted the relevant part that proves you're wrong again, I used emphasis to denote it since you don't seem to be able to figure out which partr it is. The claim upthread was that it was only connections from the app, not that it was only connections to the app or gemini website. If you go looking for Gemini on the web, not "AI Mode" from search results but at gemini.google.com, that also counts. You don't seem to be reading past the first half of sentences. What's fucking pathetic is that you got upmodded for it by someone else who also didn't read the thread. People like you are why post counts rarely break 100 around here any more.

That's not clear. Their comment seemed "tongue in cheek" to me.

So your theory is that the OS fingerprinting became significantly more unreliable for a short period of time, and then returned to the previous degree of unreliability? I'm going to go out on a limb and say you didn't think that line of reasoning through.

In order to de-shittify Windows you would have to first de-shittify Microsoft, and that is never going to happen by cause Microsoft didn't get shittified, it has always been a shit company.

That's part of what was good about ye olde Twitter. It was really hard to make an offensive dick pic in 140 characters.

Look at the comment counts on the posts today... neither will anyone else

Nobody can keep track of everything they do, which is the point of the zone-shit-flooding strategy.

You quoted the part that proves them right, coward.

It doesn't address it well, because it wasn't clear whether that included chatting with Gemini after a search result. (Gemini claims it doesn't when asked directly)

Take microphone permission away from the Google app

Try learning to read BEFORE commenting:

"Pichai is talking only about people who are opening the Gemini app or visiting the Gemini web interface to enter a prompt or access Gemini Live. If you used Gemini only once in the past month, you are part of this cohort."

You should ask Gemini to read the summary for you next time so that you won't seem stupid.

>"unsolicited telemarking calls are banned in France unless consumers explicitly consent to them."

And we kinda have that in the USA as well. Plus possible fines. Plus a do-no-call registry. Plus other stuff.... And nothing changed. Companies claim "existing relations." Or they sneak something into fine-print that you sign. Or they call from out of jurisdiction. Or they just don't care and do it anyway, however they like.

There is no easy way to report them, and really no teeth. It is sad. I wish we could just press a single button and it would submit them automatically to a central database and we had an agency that would look for large offenders and nail them. (Same for text). But not gonna happen.

Maybe France will fare better. But I kinda doubt it.

>"Then explain SystemD...

You know, when I wrote the post, I was thinking about "well, there is systemd..."
