I’m worried that after years of layoffs, they have become a custom. It feels like companies were deliberating laying off people for longer before that, avoiding bad news. Nowadays, ‘everyone’ is doing it. And nothing prevents them from over hiring and firing in large amounts over and over again.
Couldn’t agree more. I went from a Google fan boy to a Google skeptic during his reign.
Yep, same thing for ClickUp, a competitor. Pretty much the only thing they talk about and seem to work on is AI, which comes at a high price and does not really add much benefit.
Or simply that prices have become insane. Good phones used to be around 400, taking me a few days to think about it and say yes. Now they are beyond 1000, so I will do my best to avoid having to upgrade and go with custom ROMs again. In the meanwhile, we also lost exchangeable batteries, external SD cards, and microphone jack, and we gained more Google spyware and bloat.
For Search I use Duckduckgo (free).
For Mail, Calendar and Contacts I use Fastmail (free or paid, I use the paid version).
For file storage there’s plenty of alternatives (Dropbox etc.)
For browser I use Edge, but it is also built on Chromium. I will make my choice once the recent Web Environment Integrity topic has become more clear.
Ha, that brings back memories! Had a few of those. Amazing they are still in use.
Thanks for that, looks pretty nice. Though I’m concerned now trading Google might block your account for using it.
Yes and no. At billionaire level I expect they have other people taking care of who is available, and with that a mint of money you can easily keep a backup available as well.
Too bad as I just found it a week ago, but totally understandable.
Yes, makes sense. I didn’t fully realize how they rolled it out.
Hhaa, what do you post about?
What are usual numbers on Facebook and Instagram? These numbers sound extremely high. Is the app being heavily talked about in your circles?
Replies count as well? This is insane.
I missed that, they bought a stake in Conde Nast or how come?
Yes, I hope Karma won’t be as prominent as on reddit, limiting jokes to those that are appropriate.
For me it is lack of commercial interests (ads hidden in post), lack of bots, and lack of "funny meme and jokes’ posts.
That’s my assumption as well. Man in a suit checks out the machine? Bump it up. Couple checks out? Bump it up.
