How to disable Gemini on Android, Gmail, Chrome, Photos, & Google apps. Opt out of AI tracking now!
Earlier this year, we warned you to turn off Gemini on Android because Google decided that its AI would have access to its users' apps - even if they had previously turned tracking for Gemini Apps Activity off. So regardless of whether you told Google’s Gemini not to track you in the past, its AI tool might be able to run tasks like send WhatsApp messages, set timers, and even make calls on your Android device. Worryingly, Google's AI invasion does not stop there. Now, Google has turned on settings like smart features, without your consent, and Gemini can scan your Gmail emails, Photos, Drive, and other apps. In this guide, we show you how to turn off Gemini on Android and all your Google apps – Gmail, Chrome, Photos, and more. Protect your privacy and your data from invasive AI tracking!

LinkedIn has restricted my account for suspicious activity, though I haven’t posted since April (maybe).
They are asking for a photo copy of my government-issued ID in order to restore access.
“Your ID will be deleted once we verify your identity.”
Ha ha. No. 👎 Nope

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Good Things Take A Long Time
In tech, 3 years is often considered a “long tenure”. We maintain open-source projects for 2 years, then burn out. We start habits, lose momentum and quit.
