Last time I tried it I was surprised to find out that Google maps works fine without any play services installed!

smeg, to privacyguides in Marketing Company Claims That It Actually Is Listening to Your Phone and Smart Speakers to Target Ads

This seems fishy. Beyond being illegal in a lot of places, if this was actually possible without people noticing (e.g. detecting massive data usage of audio being uploaded or native battery/CPU usage of it being processed locally) then we’d know about it!

My first thought is that this is the classic tech sales bullshit of claiming your product can do something impossible in order to sell it. What’s most confusing is the statement from the bottom of the article:

“CMG businesses do not listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement. We regret any confusion and we are committed to ensuring our marketing is clear and transparent,” the statement added.

So are they admitting it was bullshit or what?

SMS doesn’t have group chats does it? Unless your client is just sending the same message to everyone and grouping together the responses?

GNU wasn’t mistaken for Unix though, it was made as a piece-by-piece foss replacement for all the proprietary Unix tools. Everything about this meme is wrong!

Oh I’m not going anywhere with it, just nit-picking.

I know Catholicism grabs you even earlier!

Interesting, guess I missed that bit back in sex ed

That’s the normal contraceptive pill that you’d take regularly, the “morning after pill” is for when you’ve realised that you forgot to use any contraception and need to stop that embryo before it grows any more!

The Morning After Pill is is technically not contraception as it happens after conception but prevents the embryo from attaching to the uterus wall (or something like that)

Blimey, you and I have wildly different use cases, I don’t think I’ve sent an email to someone who wasn’t a business for decades!

So how do you have group chats or send files with your non-Signal contacts?
