Big corporations acting badly is not a surprise. But I'll bet most folks don't know about Kytch.

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."

It's enshitification in action.

Today I noticed there are not many businesses in #Diaspora. It is a blessing, I know, but I think it is a curse, too.

I recall in the early 2010s how, as #Facebook allows companies to open "fan pages", businesses of every size gave those guys a lot of free advertising while they asked their clients to "follow them on Facebook".

This makes me ask myself a few things:
  • How welcoming would Diaspora users would be with business accounts? It is extremely easy to avoid spam by ignoring users on this social network. Would you give them a chance without frowning?
  • Facebook is dying (don't believe me, see it by yourself) so this could be a nice moment to promote Diaspora to others (just to see what happens, at the very least). Am I being naïve?
  • What if someone opened a pod for businesses in Diaspora, just as someone opened one for former Google+ users?
Some random thoughts. Let me know what you think.
