Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed malware.

In Gaza, we don't live — we survive, We starve… we drink contaminated water, We’re displaced again and again, We sleep to the sound of bombing and wake up to new fear, Our homes are rubble, and our dignity is buried beneath it, And still, the world stays silent — as if our pain doesn’t reach, If there’s still a conscience out there, then hide it from us… because we’re tired of screaming into the void💔.

In your opinion, will Israel's pride in obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid be enough to convince those who attack our individual and family fundraising initiatives, insisting that "donating to well-known organizations is better" or that "our efforts will never reach those who deserve them"?

Meet Absolem! I'm certain you've all seen him before, but I'm going to add a bio just in case y'all want it!

Absolem is a wizard living in a victorian age fantasy world. He lives in a large tower he affectionately calls "Fantasia", and is always looking for potential tenants in need! He does his best to provide his friends with every need and comfort, sometimes to his own detriment...

PROS: Caring, selfless, charismatic

CONS: A bit of a doormat, gives to the point of his own detriment.

I have no idea how to begin this post. I’m shocked no one else on Tumblr has made it before me, since this news came out February.

But…

Starting “later this year” (no explicit date), Google will begin using AI to detect “minors lying about their age” (accounts that claim to be 18+ but aren’t.)

CNBC

Google to test using AI to determine users’ ages

It comes as the company leans more heavily into AI and as it faces pressure from lawmakers.

This is based on what you search, and the videos you watch on YouTube.

If you are an adult who watches things aimed at teenagers on YouTube- your account will be incorrectly flagged as “lying” and you will be, immediately and automatically, locked down. Restricted Mode on YouTube with no way to deactivate it, SafeSearch always on full force, privileges suspended.

It gets worse. If Google thinks you are under 13- the minimum age to have an account- it will, after a brief delay, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.

If you are a fan of a children’s show- say Thomas the Tank Engine, Super Wings, or Handy Manny- or even one aimed at “older” kids like Big City Greens- YOU ARE IN DANGER.

So… what can you do?

As far as anyone knows, the tracking is account-based, so if you browse or watch children’s content while signed out you should be safe.

WRITE TO GOOGLE. Tell them how displeased you are. Do not use “nice” words- they do not deserve them.

Search for alternatives to Google Chrome, Google Search, and every function an account can provide. Type these queries into the search engine a few more times than usual, to give them a little heart attack. They deserve it.

SPREAD THIS NEWS. Not just on Tumblr- spread it on every platform you have. And real life is a platform, too.

If you speak more languages than just English, translate this warning- this is coming to the US first, but that doesn’t mean it won’t eventually spread to the rest of the world.

And finally, WARN YOUR FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE VULNERABLE TO THIS. To that extent, I’ll be tagging:

parents told me last night after seeing my maga sister at church that they are giving me til next sunday to leave. the waitlists for shelters here are very long. i live outside of the city anyways in a rural area & would have to walk for hours to get to one without an uber/lyft etc. unless one of my few acquaintances from high school who might still live in the city can take me in for the rest of the month i probably will be sleeping in a tent outside in the cold with packs of noisy coyotes about. i have a place to go in january, i just need money to eat while i’m here & get my stuff there so i don’t have to abandon my things for my parents to sell.

please help a disabled trans mexican native (apache + chichimeca) 19 y/o this holiday season? thank you everyone ❤️
