Learn more about our updated Terms of Service

frugal.all@gmail.com

We're updating our Terms of Service on May 22, 2024, so we wanted to let you know ahead of time.

These changes won't affect the way you use our services, but they should help make it easier for you to understand what to expect from Google — and what we expect from you — as you use our services.

You can see the new terms here. We also summarized the changes at the bottom of this email.

What do I need to do?

  • If you're under the age required to manage your own Google Account:
    • We sent this email to your parent or guardian so that they can help you understand our updates better.
    • Please discuss this email with your parent or guardian to decide if you need to do anything different with your account.
  • If you're a parent or guardian, and you allow your child to use the services:
    • Please review the updates to our terms with your child and help them decide whether they need to make any changes to their account.
    • Please remember that these terms apply to you and you're responsible for your child's activity on the services.
  • If you're the administrator of a Google Workspace corporate or educational account and you've enabled your users to access Google Additional Services:
    • Our new Terms of Service won't affect the Google Workspace agreement between Google and your organization. These new terms will only apply to those users to whom you've given access to Google Additional Services. You can always manage whether your users have access to Google Additional Services, and which ones, in your Admin console.
  • If you're a Google Workspace reseller whose customers have enabled their users to access Google Additional Services:
    • Our new Terms of Service won't affect your Google Workspace agreement with your customers. These new terms will only apply to your customers' users who've been given access to Google Additional Services. Your customers can always manage whether their users have access to Google Additional Services, and which ones, in their Admin console.
  • If you're any other user of the services:
    • Please read this email to understand our updated terms and your options for further action.
    • If you agree to the new terms, no further action is needed.

What's changing?

You can review the new Google Terms of Service here. At a glance, here's what this update covers:

  • Generative AI terms. We're moving our existing Generative AI Additional Terms to our main Terms of Service and adding other AI-related clarifications. For example – we won't claim ownership over original content generated by our AI-powered services.
  • More clarity on abusive activity. We're providing more examples and details about abuse and interference with our services that isn't allowed.
  • More details on limitations of liability. For users outside the US, we're adding clarifications to our limitations of liability and indemnity sections to avoid any misunderstandings in light of local laws or customs.
  • More clarity on disputes. We're clarifying that if you violate our terms, our remedies aren't limited to suspension or termination of your access to the services, but may include other remedies under applicable law. If problems or disputes arise between us about these terms, you'll have the opportunity to describe the issues and address them.
  • Updates to reflect how our services work. We're adding language about how our services work, and updating certain Google service brand names that have changed over time.
  • For users based in the European Economic Area (EEA) only:

If you don't agree to the new terms, you should remove your content and stop using the services. You can also end your relationship with us at any time, without penalty, by closing your Google Account.

Thank you for using Google services!

Then you keep trading in like they do. Between 20 and 29 is still young and you can lie about your age if you keep your looks into your 30's. LOTS of people in the entertainment industry turn tricks on the way up, or out.

I can only assume this so-called adult's parents weren't much better than she.
 
Or else they didn't really TEACH her anything about saving...
 
And, as some pointed out, anyone will save a LOT by not eating out - IF you have the half a brain that it takes to shop the sales at the Right Stores.

What, you actually read them? I figure the condensed version is "We can
do whatever we want and you can't stop us." No point in worrying about
it. I use facebook because the people I "knew" from usenet migrated
there. I've made it as much like usenet as possible and very unlike
what I assume most people use it for. The bad thing about it is that
you can't carry on discussions and useful functions suddenly disappear.
 
We take what we can get.

Same here.
 
Compared to the constant ads, tracking, and moderating
on the commercial [anti]social networks, it's much more
peaceful and often thought-provoking here on Usenet.
 
I find myself spending less and less time online over
the past few years with Usenet taking up most of my
time.
 
Since there's less on Usenet, I spend less time online
overall. Email takes up a pittance of time since
my email provider has good spam filters. I rarely see
more than one spam email per week.
 
 
I'll add one more rant:
Companies that *only* have social media methods of contact.
"Contact us on Facebook or Twitter/X" simply doesn't cut it.
No email address, no phone number, or even no snail mail
address equals me not being your customer.

I am on Reddit a lot and a lot of good exchange of information and interaction but also too fleeting and overloaded to build any actual communities.
 
It's not just Usenet but a lot of music fan forums and lifelong friends were made and a lot of that dried up when it just flipped over to social media.
 
I do enjoy it though. I remember reading how a lot of people feel inferior in comparison to their friend's profiles. I decided to be the one to make people feel that way. My feed is pretty much just this concert or that concert and downtime filled with remembrances of past events or upcoming with the occasional meme or cat photo, etc.

I mostly agree with you and I hate the fact that so many family members and friends can only be reached thru Facebook. However I have gotten laid on Facebook and if that's a good enough reason to destroy lives and even civilizations, I can fork a little privacy over to Pimp Supreme Marky Z

Some of us check in regularly. I wonder which was the bigger
usenet-killer, facebook or google groups. I think it has something to do
with declining literacy due to inadequate education in the US. People
aren't interested in conversation any more -- just pronouncements.

Hi Bev,

https://www.businessinsider.com/parents-dinks-winning-childfree-economy-finances-income-vacation-retirement-kids-2024-2
 
Excerpt:
 
...Of course, not all DINKs are raking in six-figure incomes and investing in real estate. Alex Killingsworth is a 25-year-old entrepreneur building a content-writing business, and his wife is a full-time graduate student. She makes $14,000 a year as a teaching assistant, while his business earned them $84,000 in 2023. Not having kids has allowed them to invest in his startup and her higher education, both of which they believe will pay off.
 
"I'm 'investing' in the work I'm doing," Killingsworth said. "Likewise for my wife, almost all of her income is going into research, so our actual take-home pay is quite a bit lower."...

It will still exist after Google News shuts down. Just use a real News
Server to get/post content.
 
This group has existed for many years.
 
Why is Google needed for this? It isn't.
 
I recognize your name (Beaver Fever) from the past, likely before Google
News existed. Hello.

Hello. This nym has existed for 10 years or so, there are others going back to the 1990's but I can't remember them.
 
It doesn't matter, this group is dead regardless of what is used to access it and by most it was Google Groups.
 
Still a bittersweet moment. The internet opened a whole world for me and this group might have been my first time actually interacting with real adults and the perspectives of people outside my circle. And without this group specifically I don't think I would be the man I am today, especially without the frugal living perspectives which allowed me to survive better in the wild with limited financial resources.

I understand. I've been on the internet and USENET since its inception.
Funds are short here too. I never joined the "social media" crowd or the
many web sites over the years. The lack of activity is saddening. But
lookig elsewhere, I don't see anything more than shallow thinkers.
 
It has been great knowing you over the years.
 
I've used a few nyms myself. The email address is good.
