I'm dreading how many schools and universities are "just going to go along" with this and end up programming another generation of users who don't question their shit.

I already have an old #Android tablet with its own dedicated Google account, used only for questionable software that comes with cheap gizmos from AliExpress. If I'm ever forced to use QR code verification, that's the device I'll use.

@Hadewych @leeloo @jschauma that annoyed me so much. I miss my fitbit and the heart rate monitors on the elliptical at my cheapass gym don't work.

FUCK GOOGLE!

[agreeable_landfall@mastodon.social]

@jschauma @mms The only thing that will make them change this is if the sites experience a measurable decrease in visits.

Considering how few people use alternatives to Google, that's probably not going to do it.

I never trusted Google when they said, "Android is FOSS. You can fork it and use it however you like." When they sold the first "Google Phone", I bought one. Then found I couldn't make phone calls without a Google Account. I refused, and installed the Jezus Freke ROM.

@jschauma oh cool all the security awareness training of the past 15 years now out the window. Wow.

@jschauma you just found the newest Google shit

[notbobbytables@infosec.exchange]

@jschauma It seems like having an iOS or Android smartphone is what makes us human now. Thanks, I hate it already.

@jschauma @LabSpokane I have to wonder how many idiots actually scan this. I also have to wonder what it installs on your device.

@Hadewych @leeloo @jschauma glad I sold mine just a few weeks ago, without knowing this would happen. what did it for me was listening to Zuboff's Surveillance Capitalism...
