EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

I would like to clarify that while a ceasefire has been announced, what we have on the ground is only a temporary mitigation of hostilities; the war is still ongoing. The Israeli army hasn't withdrawn, and we're still subjected to gunfire and shelling periodically.

The situation is extremely difficult… food is scarce, there are no jobs, no source of income, and people are living on aid. I was surprised to see that donations have stopped, even though we are still in dire need.

When posting on a global platform, such as the Fediverse:

Please bear in mind that phrases such as "the government" or "this country" can be super confusing/ambiguous - no single country constitutes the majority of the planet, we're pretty well distributed so it's best to be specific.

I'm sure I'm as guilty of this as anyone so I looked up the data (source https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/)

Voila:

hey cis friends

when i say we need you to be an accomplice, not an ally

this is what i mean

(this article is moderately transphobic, which is no surprise given it's from the BBC, but it's the action of the cis woman who's the focus of it that I'm talking about)
