On the #enshitification of #academic#publishing. Where scientists burn the candle at both ends, paying to read and publish their work, in what is the ultimate grift.
Here's the problem... we often say we want to move away from glam publishing. But how many of those retraction were in the top journals, and how many in Hindawi, MDPI and Frontiers? For me, the papers I trust enough to bother to read are in the journals I trust. Not quite the Natures or the sciences, but the trusted disciplinary journals. Th we genome biologies and molecular cells. But this feeds journal based judgements.
If you have it installed as all #Android phones are forced to, is it necessary to use #Chrome to suffer from its #privacy abuse, or does it do evil in the background regardless?
@happyborg To be fair, the question kinda doesn't make sense. Not sure if there's a typo in there, but I read it a few times and genuinely can't tell what you're asking.
LinkedIn search trying to give Amazon a run for their money in "busted ass search". Both of those services should be treating search like their life blood because without solid search their glut of entries are fucking useless. What in the ever loving hell?
@Tekchip 3 of the 4 entries there are promoted... Clearly the goal isn't to connect searchers with jobs, it's to connect HR's wallets with higher ranked search results.
@HarkMahlberg yeah but even oracle fusion has jack to do with cyber security. Most of the results are off even if not "promoted" or whatever. Just so tired of this garbage.
So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.
Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"
Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.
From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."
@ajsadauskas@technology@pluralistic Google claims a religious exemption that trumps your privacy concerns: "The data from your camera is sacred to us and our business model, and we, via our operating systems and applications, strictly forbid you from profaning that data."
