Google’s Gemini team is apparently sending out emails about an upcoming change to how Gemini interacts with apps on Android devices. The email informs users that, come July 7, 2025, Gemini will be able to “help you use Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off.” Naturally, this has raised some privacy concerns among those who’ve received the email and those using the AI assistant on their Android devices.

Swisscows I don't believe has an index, Mojeek does.

Brave bought their index. The other two did a PR announcement that they are gonna build one, you seen much else? Point very much still stands.

(some) alternative search engines use Bing because building an index is hard and the only project I know of doing this work from base is Mojeek: https://www.mojeek.com/

 

This is a very low-information announcement here but if this is taken to the extreme, it means that DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and many other so-called "alternative" search engines are going to either have to look for a new provider of results, or die.

Having listened to this all when it was released I can highly recommend, as well as Evgeny's other podcast, the first in the series: https://choramedia.com/podcast/the-santiago-boys/

A third is supposed to be coming too

guessing this is a money-from-google take, or something about some of the telemetry stuff firefox collects, or the fact they're not really focused on their browser and keep putting their efforts into AI products or other flights of fancy. To be fair they're all good takes; I mainly use Firefox, but they also have some deep issues.

The hallucinations will probably be funny, the general product I think is going to make the web a hell of a lot less fun.
