The only thing I need to drop is my gmail account. Everything else went into the circular file.

This was always going to happen. Companies in Germany when Hitler rose to power didn’t protest and speak up against him - they needed to sell his army goods. They made his uniforms and cars and didn’t say a peep about the extermination of people around them. The companies that spoke up were crushed. A corporation’s bottom line is their bottom line, no matter what horrors they need to assist in perpetrating.

Google managed to create a very clean image of themselves in most heads, but looking closer it is an ugly profit maximization machine. It cares about shareholders. If it cares about you, then probably for spying on you and learn how to manipulate you and others better. I hope people start realizing finally.

And let’s state it clear: Google could have a voice. They could object to the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine. They could be there for the world. But they’re not. Not at all. They serve the money. And if it pays off, then they are willing to ruin peoples lives.

Google is on the wrong side of history.

Lmao, damn… I was done with them before this announcement but thanks for reinforcing my decision.

They also removed Holocaust Remembrance Day. Probably because it’s going to have to be renamed Holocaust I soon.

Next thing you know Facebook is going to get rid of Daughter’s Day!

Every time a straight person has wondered why I hate rainbow capitalism, shit like this is why.

“Oh but it moves your kind forward, you should be thankful they support you now!” They only supported us when the government wouldn’t take away contracts and people were sure they supported queers.

Same thing for every other company and every other minority. I can at least mask that I’m queer, black people can’t mask being black.

God I hate being right about horrible things.

Is there an alternative to Google Drive that doesn’t lock me into using MS Office. I particularly need to ability to share and edit files online.

Bow!

well, it’s not that they removed anything, it’s that the company google paid to create the holiday events told google how much it was costing to include every substrata of celebration (i.e. national bean day, national micronesia first peoples remembrance), so google said, you know what, we’re just going to have federal holidays on our calendar and people can add the rest as they like. which i think is fair enough.

I don’t understand why was this ever a thing. Fuck google, and fuck rainbow washing. They never really cared, and where just taking advantage of a noble cause.

Honestly I wish they had a setting for only federal holidays. The ones where banks close.

I also want to be able to switch back to general holidays too though. These people at google are chicken shit cowards.

It’s a shame, but fuck Google regardless of this :)

Just shows that companies show their support to please the people in power and that’s just []-washing

Opinions are still divided on whether companies should have a political opinion
