Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Insane that one company can dictate what websites you're allowed to visit. Telling you what apps you can run wasn't far enough.

I really don't know how they got nerds to think scummy advertising is cool. If you think about it, the thing they make money on - no user actually wants ads or wants to see them, ever. Somehow Google has some sort of nerd cult that people think its cool to join such an unethical company.

Turns out it's cool to make lots of money

Absolutely fuck Google

unfortunately nobody wants to sacrifice anything nowadays so everyone will keep using google, and microsoft, and tiktok and meta and blah blah

US congress not functioning for over a decade causes a few problems.

So unethical that they made countless free services that millions of people have relied on every day for years. Do you interface with anyone that's not deep in the software industry? Every regular person I know uses everything Google without any hesitation and no more than a bit of annoyance with ads sometimes. I think they all are pretty happy with the deal and would not switch to a paid ad-free version.

I'm increasingly blown away by takes on here that are so dramatic and militant about things that barely even register to most people.

On this day, only Google Maps does not have real competitor on Android. Otherwise, it is possible to drop Google and even get better services. Brands are difficult to compete.

It's the result of failures across the web, really. Most browsers started using Google's phishing site index because they didn't want to maintain one themselves but wanted the phishing resistance Google Chrome has. Microsoft has SmartScreen, but that's just the same risk model but hosted on Azure.

Google's eternal vagueness is infuriating but in this case the whole setup is a disaster waiting to happen. Google's accidental fuck-up just prevented "someone hacked my server after I clicked on pr-xxxx.imiche.app" because apparently the domain's security was set up to allow for that.

You can turn off safe browsing if you don't want these warnings. Google will only stop you from visiting sites if you keep the "allow Google to stop me from visiting some sites" checkbox enabled.

It's super simple. Check out all the Fediverse alternatives. How many people that talk a big game actually financially support those services? 2% maybe, on the high end.

Things cost money, and at a large scale, there's either capitalism, or communism.
