it's such a fucking sick philosophy. imagine having that much money and might and still killing anything useful and not even able to sustain the quality of fucking search
the services I use
I fucking hate Google
Looks like you need to deGoogle. I did.
RIP Google Reader. Feedly is nice, but I still liked my plain simple Google Reader
Dang, don't remind me.
Reader was sacrificed so they could prop up Google plus... What were they thinking
Don't you dare shut it down!
I'm surprised they kept it up and didn't just incorporate the back end into google maps.
I know it's due to role redundancy, but ever since Waze was pulled more closely under the Google umbrella, every change they make worries me.
It sucks I use Waze daily and I know maps is t going to have all the same features just like they promised Gmail would get everything from inbox
It would be so neat for a federated Waze like platform built on ActivityPub, OpenStreetMap, and OpenRouteService. Anyone know of anyone doing anything like that?
For the longest time, I held on to Gmail, but honestly it’s been surpassed by Hotmail. The sweep feature is very useful in keeping the unread count down. Besides mail and search, I consider every other Google service temporary.
I used to love me some Inbox for Gmail.
How about some Google Wave? No? Just me?
I played Dungeons and Dragons on it! I cried because I lost all those adventures and dialogue between characters. I try to do the same with discord but it's just never been the same. It was truly innovative but that might just be a rose tinted view.
Inbox loss still hurts. And then the lies about bringing all the features into Gmail... Meanwhile Gmail still looks like a half-assed 2005 beta with some unwanted corpo productivity tools awkwardly wedged into it.
That was the shit
to be fair they bought waze years ago. i'm surprised that waze has lasted this long
