That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.
@campuscodi Google being Google. Never disappointing, we need to recognize.

@campuscodi lol ... this is amazing. So you foot the bill for all the compute but they still get the surveillance out of it.

@campuscodi The problem is not Google, the problem are the people who don't care about any of it. Voting with your feet (leaving the product) would force the company to make changes for the good. People don't care.
We are quickly becoming a distopian world.

@campuscodi My guess is that it always did. This is just legal covering of ass.

*Darth Vader Voice* "I altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further!"Why do people still use that #Govware?

@campuscodi I guess tomorrow I completely uninstall it.. I've been using Firefox for about a year and kept chrome around in case of compatibility issues.. I've opened it maybe twice over that time.

@Mistonas in fairness most people have no idea, they don't follow this kind of news so it never reaches them. The media could cover it but you know that's not happening anymore.

@campuscodi serves people right for using Chrome. Been saying it for years, but people are like "no, everyone uses it, blah blah"... and unlike Edge you can't even use the excuse that it's been pre-installed. Using Chrome is a choice.

@TheStoneDonkey @Mistonas Even if you tell people, they don't care. Maybe they need to hear it from multiple angles and repeatedly, but just knowing about it is not enough to give up the comfortable life.

@campuscodi Google: Guys no, it's just our new offering "Local+". It gathers info locally and just "re-localizes" it to another location that is more local to me and my clients, that's all! Nothing remotely fishy (hehe) about this at all!

@campuscodi Google are like stalkers and thieves. They have no respect for their users.

@TheStoneDonkey @Mistonas was 'we didn't know' not always the excuse of the masses?
Education is more than a privilege; it's also an responsibility to society.
With power comes responsibility, can't do one without the other.

@koh_kun @campuscodi it only localizes the energy spend while keeping the profitable data stream coming. That's sneaky.

@campuscodi
Anyone still using Chrome deserves everything they get.
