Incognito mode is not for Google, its for my girlfriend. Do people really not understand this?
so you have to go incognito to put her in the mood?
I use it because I don’t want ads related to my stupid ass search.
Google must never know I can’t remember how to spell irreconcilable
This guy gets it. Incognito is for searching asses.
They do, and they’re saying it’s not anything like good enough.
Why not?
Well, the expectation of privacy is sort of implied and then on top of that you should be allowed to browse completely anonymously if you so choose.
Why accept being spied on from any angle?
For some people this feels like a hotel with cameras in your room. The other guests can’t see you, but management can.
Why is incognito mode not good enough to hide your browsing from your partner? That’s what you’re responding to. We all agree it doesn’t stop google.
Ahh my bad, I took the person you were replying to as meaning “incognito mode is not good enough because google is still watching “
Well, that’s a fair point
I don’t get it lol
I’ve seen this before and got a chuckle, so I gotta wonder who is downviting this and why?
Omfg! Don’t give them ideas.
bruh saw this already on mastodon. (wait I just noticed that you linked to the same mastodon post I was talking about)
Bruh almost like the internet is just reposts crazy
Bad meme. Our user data cannot be compared with garbage.
That’s not how I interpret the meme. The way I understand it is rather
- we Google/Meta harvested already every source of information you share willingly with us
- actually nearly all of them, we are not actually searching through your trash
- the person is uncomfortable with this because they understand it might be a problem for their privacy, imagining anything they be might ashamed of
- in turn they ask for some kind of security
- the garbage puts a hood which absolutely changes nothing but give a false sense of privacy
- the person still willingly yet awkwardly hand away their trash, as if they learned absolutely nothing for the years, if not decades, of such practice
So I interpret this is as surveillance companies be ready to go through absolutely anything, even something literally dirty, i.e trash, in order to get yet more information about people. People knowing it’s problematic and yet relinquishing even the modicum of privacy they had until then.
So… IMHO it’s not about the garbage itself, rather garbage is meant as a provocative metaphor to mean literally anything and everything.
Nope, you are coping. Infact I see the meme as a failed attempt to call Google garbage (the word garbage is stylized with the famous google colours).
The incognito mode joke makes sense. Everything else is out of place.
The reason why they have garbage in the google style is because they’re portraying google as a garbage company who searched through your garbage, plus this isn’t coping. :)
You do realize that you are agreeing with me.
User wants his browser history thrown out with “garbage”… gone forever. Google says “nah, I’m gonna look through that and take notes, thanks”
I assure you they are not.
People thinks it’s as worthless as garbage, so I think that’s fair.
Nope, just you, OP and whoever created the meme.
That ratio says otherwise.
Pfftt. This sub is regarded.
