"What you can hear in the sonification soundtrack of this video are real spacecraft vibrations measured by the Italian Spring Accelerometer #ISA instrument. The accelerometer data have been shifted in frequency to make them audible to human ears – one hour of measurements have been sped up to one minute of sound."

A Tech Expert Says Google Chrome Has Become Spy Software

You open your browser to look at the Web.

ScienceAlert
@madeindex @randfish @ipullrank wow! searx is so great!
thank you!!
@madeindex
I thought #Firefox 's Google use was limited to search and you can change that with a few clicks?
@randfish @ipullrank

@dheadshot
You absolutely can, for me however it changes back to #Google as default search engine after updates, others don't seem to have this problem though.

The main funding of #Mozilla comes from the Google deal which pays 400-450 million dollar per year to be the default #searchengine on #Firefox #browser. Some people see this critically.

@madeindex
The trouble is, there are two major browser engines, one is entirely Google and the other pays Google to let it survive. If you reject the one making protection payments you're left with the one running the racket! I'd rather choose the lesser of the two evils, then turn off the broken bits...

(There are Firefox forks like IceCat too, but IceCat in particular made weird decisions with regards to JavaScript that break most sites and the others are lesser supported)...

@dheadshot
Haha 😂

Never heard of #IceCat!

What do you think about the #opensource Firefox #fork #Librewolf ?

(Can also recommend #MullvadBrowser, it is a very #privacy focused #Firefox version, because #Tor co-developed it - take a look 😀)

@dheadshot @madeindex Personally, I think @mozillaofficial should hand over #Firefox to @torproject or at least make #TorBrowser the new #Upstream!
@madeindex @randfish @ipullrank Thanks for voicing this. I am afraid this scandal will not affect Google since it is more than 6 months old and the news hardly moved away from the SEO arena.
@aloxe 🤝 we can only try to simplify and spread the word; hopefully, more people will become aware of Google's practices 🏴‍☠️

@madeindex @randfish @ipullrank

Its more than just #Google being evil.

@madeindex 😊 Can't say it was a completely original idea... I just took this and updated it:

Some mistakes are harder to erase.

@MichaelPorter

Oh wow you made it yourself! 😍

Thought it was from the internet, very cool!

@madeindex This *is* the internet 😄
@madeindex I hope they see I'm click on this and typing on it
@SabiLewSounds By publicly posting here, we have officially made it on the #Google algorithm's #enemy list 😋 👍
@madeindex
The other logo joke would be that l got replaced by I, and the reason for the font change that year was that they needed to switch to a font where l and I were indistinguishable when rebranding as evil
@SabiLewSounds
Explaining jokes:
goog lie - lying about what they were doing
goog ie - goog is evil

@screwtape @SabiLewSounds
😂 And evil they are indeed!

Do you know when they turned to the dark side of the force? ⚫ ⚔️

@madeindex @screwtape turned to? Aren't they THE very darkside itself? Lol

@SabiLewSounds @screwtape

😂 😂 😂
They do have all the colors of the #lightsabers #GeneralGrievous collected in their logo, evidence enough?!

@madeindex this in no way surprised me! The only move they made that surprised me was their retraction oh the don't be evil moto...talk about a telling moment! Also amusing that they felt so dirty they pulled it... Guess they are t quite shameless?
@madeindex
An important thing to understand about most software developers is this: Generally speaking, and separate from any ethical concerns, they will not ever ‘throw away‘ data they have access to. No matter how draconian the rules are requiring them to not collect and to delete if they do, they will justify collecting and not deleting to themselves by saying that the rules could change and everyone will then be happy to have it after all. This over and above all other considerations.

@madeindex Wait, what? Google has lots to be ashamed of, and everyone by now knows about their old motto and how they've failed it, but most of these issues are pretty weak, plus your little numbers don't have citations. What is this?
@madeindex Tracking what users do in Chrome: yeah, it's called telemetry, it isn't great but Google isn't the only company that does it
Store a copy of every website and version they indexed: yes, it's the cache, which they used to link to and let you see yourself
Manual influence on search results: It depends on how you view their motives? The alternative would be to leave results entirely up to an algorithm.
Whitelist Covid and election websites: again, the problem isn't that they do this, but which ones and how
Keep domain registration information... what does this mean?
@madeindex Google lied for years? You mean Google is like Trump?
@madeindex one of many reasons why we try to explain to people why they should #degoogle

@Internxt 😀 👍 Just saw one of your posts about #Gmail and #chrome ❤️
