Companies are currently sending me a lot of mail in which they are playing a fun game called „how can we spin 'the EU GDPR is forcing us to show the barest minimum of respect for user data protection' into it sounding like we‘re doing this because we‘re good guys“

Hey some data analysis nerds associated with #fuckoffgoogle are hoping to survey business owners in Kreuzberg in the next couple of weeks. We are seeking a volunteer or two who speak German and would be willing to come with us to survey. Please DM if you have time on a weekday and would like to be involved :) boosts appreciated

So Google Chat was also Google Talk which is now Hangouts (originally Google+ only), but now retargeted for "enterprise" use while Allo (& Duo) are for personal use but now "on pause" for developing a new Google Chat, which is RCS (but not versioning) but also known as Google Jibe which is basically SMS 3.0, & is in Android Messages (but not the old AOSP based Messages, which was discontinued, but a new one), which is the SMS client… which might be Google Chat?

One thing I don't understand is people complaining about graffiti on trains and walls but they couldn't be bothered a bit by ads being everywhere in our daily life actively and literally trying to manipulate everybody's thoughts and actions. But it's legit because that access to your brain is bought with money.

Gmail enters the "extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish by creating new proprietary features for email then forcing non-gmail users the view the mail through a link with Google Login (and sometimes SMS confirmation!)
