WARNING: #GOOGLE IS TRYING TO TRICK YOU INTO USING GEMINI AI AND FEEDING GEMINI YOUR DATA IN GMAIL AND OTHER APPS!
What Google is now doing should be ILLEGAL. PERIOD. For the first time I can recall in history of using Gmail, it just now popped a modal dialogue box -- DEMANDING that I choose whether or not I wanted "Smart Features" turned on -- which when you read the verbiage mostly means goddamned Gemini AI AND if you enable this you're giving Google permission to use your data to "improve" this horrifically invasive, inept, and misinformation spewing tech that steals data from websites for its own use without permission of those sites. DON'T LET IT SUCK IN YOUR EMAIL AS WELL!
There was no way I could find to exit the modal window without choosing YES or NO, which means my existing selection to NOT use Gmail Smart Features (long my preference) was NOT being honored. After saying NO to this disgusting query by Google, I was pushed to ANOTHER page where I was forced to choose again about "smart features" in "other" Google apps. I chose NO again and finally was permitted to escape this trap.
Note that while you can fairly easily check to make sure "smart features" are turned off in Gmail settings, I offhand don't have a clue as to how to find the similar settings in other Google apps that may have been affected by this absolutely disrespectful forced dialogue, as Google keeps trying to ram Gemini AI down our throats.

Interesting discussion/topic. I wonder if there are empty void of life areas around things like these....how long for life to return etc.... questions of the universe...
I have always objected to depictions of black holes that show black. Even though most of the material falling into the black hole does so along the equatorial plane and perhaps the polar plane there will be plenty falling in over its whole surface to create tremendous amounts of radiation from nearby space. The whole disk would be blazing light. To see an image anything like this would require heavy filtering leaving only the brightest sources visible. Not a naked eye view.
That image of a black hole popularized some years back required a lot of manipulation of the data to produce the dot we saw.
Due to the brilliance of the central quasar, the surrounding galaxy is outshone by it and hence is not visible from Earth. With an absolute magnitude of −30.7, it shines with a luminosity of 4×1040 watts, or as brilliantly as 140 trillion times that of the Sun, making it one of the brightest objects in the known Universe.[1]

Twelve people, including seven Syrians, were killed and eight others injured on Tuesday in Israeli airstrikes on the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, one of which targeted a camp for displaced Syrians.The Lebanese National News Agency reported that
They celebrate Israel bombing Lebanon, Yemen, Gaza, Iran and Iraq.
now they have woken up to reality of being US puppets. they have passed their usability and now they are being used for the next phase of the plan to build the greater Israel .
Arabs don't seem to learn a lesson from past mistake . their hate of the Shia and Iran as well as any other non wahhabi Muslim is deeper than their self preservation drive .
and Israel knows perfectly well how to play them. one by one they fall and then go on killing each other or become slaves of the Israeli regime .
New US Stealth Bombers Painted in Epstein’s List, Making Them Disappear
"he US Air Force announced it would be painting its existing line of fighter jets and stealth bombers in a paint made from the Epstein List, which makes them impossible to see. “This huge military effort has taken countless people’s involvement to put together. Of course, we’d never reveal who those people are. Actually, I mean, there are no people. Yeah, no people,” said one Air Force General."
Since being entirely covered in the paint made from the Epstein List the stealth bombers are now 99% invisible, meaning that much like Epstein's own planes, only the most powerful 1% will have access to them.

There is international silence about the bombing of Syrian defence ministry by #Israel - of the official (accepted and promoted by the West) government. #Syria doesn't have the "right to defend itself"? todon.nl/@prolrage/11486347323…
The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus twice on Wednesday as it intervened in the clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the country’s deadliest violence in months.
The strikes collapsed four floors of the ministry and ruined its facade. Syrian state media said at least two officers had been wounded and staff were reportedly sheltering in the building’s basement.

For instance I own 6 bicycles which are all completely incompatible with all brands of automotive fuel and tyres. They lack safety belts and all other vehicular safety features.
However they are excellent modes of transport. I've commuted on them, covered over 100 miles in a day using them, and I have carried tens of kilos of cargo on them.
If I had a Symbian phone today and it was able to communicate with, say, Beeper over @matrix, along with the other functions of something like an HMD 2660, I'd be 100% fine with that.
An iconic flip phone with no social media – just clear calls, a tough build and a long-lasting battery. Its mirrored glass front gives it a stunning finish.
@matrix, agree and for sure for a lot of people Symbiant is perfectly valid, but my wife and also I am very old and we need eg. an app of our doctors appointments in the social security, official app only for Android and iOS and maybe forks of these.
Same for others which needs official apps which I doubt exist for Symbian. Nothing to do with having enough with an bicycle, the difference between need and nice to have.
All right, fair point. (Although my mum is nearly 90 and has an appless phone, so it's not one-size-fits-all.)
But the thing is that you said:
"A good OS incompatible with needed apps... isn't valid for an practical use."
I am guessing you mean "any". I gave you a valid use. OSes with no apps can be entirely useful, yes.
For instance, you also said "and security soft". If something can't run external apps then it can't run malware either, so no _security software_ is needed. I do not _want_ apps on my router, or on my storage server, or on my ebook reader!
The obsession with apps is a recent thing and it's everywhere. It's a red herring. Not everything needs apps, even including computing devices, and often, providing the ability to run external software is harmful and insecure.
@matrix, agree with this statement, as I said before, for a lot of people Symbian is a pretty good alternative, but not for all because mencioned reasons, eg. also profesionals which have to work with company or specific apps.
Luckily there are also pretty good FOSS alternatives out there which are also compatible with needed apps.
Compatibility is always an important reason for a lot of users.
Yes, in my case I also can try to make a call for an appointment, but it's often impossible due of the office hours, presence of the nurse, because heavy traffic in the hospital and others, apart the need to pass always all the ID data, security number and other, because of this the social security intriduced the app some years ago.
The app connect direct with the calendar of the doctor, selecting a free zone, marking day and hour 24/7 with your registred data, even putting an alarm in your calendar, thing of half a minute and few clicks and aliviate a lot the work of the hospital personal, which is hard enough.
Auch wenn die UN-Kinderrechtskonvention wahrscheinlich einer der Konventionen ist, die wir hier bei Mastodon mit am häufigsten zitieren, so ist sie doch nicht die älteste der vier Optionen.
Zuerst verabschiedet wurde die UN-Rassendiskriminierungskonvention, kurz #ICERD. Und zwar am 21. Dezember 1965.
Die Kinderrechtskonvention ist im Vergleich dazu deutlich jünger – tatsächlich wurde sie erst 1989 verabschiedet.
Fun fact: die ICERD ist die, gegen die Israel — wie vom IGH höchstgerichtlich bestätigt — mit seiner offiziellen institutionalisierten Rassendiskrimierung systematisch verstößt.
Das entsprechende Detail aus der ICJ Advisory Opinion:
"The Court observes that Israel’s legislation and measures impose and serve to maintain a near-complete separation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem between the settler and Palestinian communities.

"Israel" conducted airstrikes on Syria’s Defense Ministry in Damascus and military positions in Sweida and Daraa, as sectarian clashes intensify in southern Syria despite a declared ceasefire.
The vast majority of the public get it. Why on earth support a bunch of ignorant, self-serving chancers whose only interest is cashing in personally on chaos and division?
A bbc report on china is only worth reading to observe whatever the fuck is going on in the uk establishment's brains, such as they are.
The actual facts of the situation, in this case the death of former premier Li Keqiang, have to be twisted, distorted, or outright fabricated to suit whatever the uk establishment wishes to convey to it's subject population.
I'm trying to imagine the Chinese state doing anything other than what it's doing right now, granting a lavish state funeral to one of its most prominent political leaders.
Can you imagine how fucking odd it would be if the Chinese had buried Li in secret?
Yet the most normal thing for this State to be doing right now is, as everything else, signs that the CCP and China are on the verge of collapse right now in the minds of uk's chronic pandaslayers.
a thing to bear in mind: if you want to get the inside scoop by searching chinese media for 李克强 you're likely to see people bowing literally to Li's dead body and consoling his widow Cheng Hong. So don't do that unless you want to see a dead body.
Good to know some jobs will never be automated by LLMs, the task of asking someone who works for the CIA via an arm's length organisation what's happening in China for example.
It's actually really tough being a bbc journalist. Instead of just doing everything on ChatGTP like a normal journalist, you have to ring up the MET and transcribe everything they say word-for-word which takes a lot longer. People should stop insulting us so much on social media.

Stamatopoulou-Robbins estimates that as many as 67,000 #Gazans may have died of starvation since the start of the war, and that over 10,000 more may not have been counted in the death toll because they are still buried in the rubble caused by #US.-supplied aircraft and bombs. This pushes the number of people killed in the war to well over 100,000, with, sadly, more to come as disease increases in a population bereft of adequate clean water, sanitation, or access to medical care. If the bombing in #Gaza stopped tomorrow, deaths caused by the conflict would continue for some time given the awful conditions people are being forced to live in. Due to its ongoing role in financing and arming Israel, the United States has more leverage over Israel’s conduct than any other nation, if Washington is willing to use it. It’s possible that #Netanyahu would try to carry on in any case, but without access to U.S. funds, weapons, and logistical and maintenance support his military reach would be more limited, and his ability to spark a regional war would be stymied. How can any U.S. official speak of the “rules-based international order” with a straight face given Washington’s enabling of the Gaza war? How can Washington press other nations to end systematic abuses of human rights? forbes.com/sites/williamhartun…
The Costs of #War #Project researchers estimate the cost to #US taxpayers at over $17.9 billion, and the likely number of people killed at well over 100,000 — which, even then, is a “very conservative, minimum amount of death.” As researchers begin to calculate the costs, the human and monetary toll is starting to become clearer. “With only marginal exceptions, every single person in #Gaza is sick, injured, or both,” the physicians wrote to #Biden. “We worry that unknown thousands have already died from the lethal combination of malnutrition and disease, and that tens of thousands more will die in the coming months, especially with the onset of the winter rains in Gaza. Most of them will be young children.” Still, factors like the destruction of water infrastructure and sanitary facilities mean the real loss may be incalculable for years to come. Savell said that the numbers used here are a “really solid, conservative minimum number of deaths.” Given the depletion of Gaza’s medical system, thousands more have likely died due to lack of care for their chronic illnesses. (Cancer care, for example, has been unavailable in Gaza, as has most prenatal care. “A big portion of death tolls from war comes in deaths of newborns, and pregnant mothers,” Savell said. #WarCrimes analystnews.org/posts/in-one-y…
Brown University’s Costs of War Project calculated “the money that’s spent on war, and the toll on human lives” after a year of war in Gaza. The numbers are staggering.
