@Techmeme I just read the email. It says you can opt out, which is better than having no choice at all and speculating whether your input is used for training or not. I think this is a good thing.

@nowosad the reverse imports are an interesting collection of packages, too!

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  • Go to your device Settings
  • Press "Google"
  • Press "Ads"
    • While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
  • Press "Ad Privacy"
  • Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)

    • If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

    EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

    @geospacedman @ianturton let's ALL do that and then fill out questionaires about it, so we can analyze our answers and hopefully find insight to act upon!

    @pokateo when I went to the front desk of my town office to talk about a message I received supposedly from a member of the city council on #OpenStreetMap and it's actually true. Also, I didn't have to explain what OSM was. I stood there, aghast.

    (For my contributions in OSM in my city, they gave me a bottle of wine and two tickets for our hill's cog railway.)

    @Aleggra @mastodonmigration @jrod3737 @Noptisun @protonmail hey, don't take it out on the country. We have many other things we do badly as a country, but running protonmail isn't one of them.

    @amberage hello, this is Interaction. Nice to meet you. I'll make a stamp with the QR code of a link to your post and go put some stamps in Rowling 📚 I encounter on my travels.
