  • If someone is giving Google their home address and work address, and planning the route to get traffic data, they’re not going to be concerned when Google Maps suggests their work address as a destination through the week.

    It isn’t that they aren’t concerned, that is actually something many people see as a benefit. Yes, I still use google maps because it remembers destinations and has traffic density alerts and a bunch of other stuff that require tracking but those are a separate thing from google selling that tracking data to third parties. The former is a benefit and the latter is a problem.


  • My dwindling interest in the the new hotness for tech is due to diminishing returns and how frequently it is change for the sake of change with zero additional benefit. I still learn new stuff, but only after it has been out long enough to find out if there is an actual benefit involved.

    Seriously, the amount of things that are just repackaged stuff that already existed but now it is cheaply produced and unreliable is overwhelming. Brands don’t even stick to their purpose for a decade before selling out and letting quality slip.
