Is tempting to check if it’s still down. But wom’t touch this ugly domain.
teri@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•I need to vent about Windows. I want workplaces to use Linux.412·4 months agoWindows also used to show me the ugly face of Trump in the start menu even if I didn’t ask for it. That was more than 4 years ago. Recently was accidentally hovering over some ‘copilot’ button in Edge of a friend. And again - pop-up with Trump. So yes: fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft

teri@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History MonthEnglish3·5 months agoGoogle has always been fuckers, they are still fuckers and going with the fascist flow they’ve proven that they will remain fuckers. Even if they switch side once the Trumpian monster stumbles, the can never be trusted.
This days it’s plain obvious. Before was slightly better hidden.
teri@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History MonthEnglish7·5 months agoThey could decide not to give 1M to Trump, but they did: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/09/google-microsoft-donate-trump-inaugural-fund They could use their reach and make a clear public statement: “we don’t support this”. But I’ve never seen any. They could give higher rating to actual useful information and try to show less fascist propaganda to people. I have to assume that’s going wrong as well.
Because of their giant impact, they send a message to all others. “We go with the fascists, we are not on the side of humanity but on the side of profit”. That creates dangerous dynamics.
teri@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History MonthEnglish19·5 months agoIt was limiting them. To truly maximize profits they need to strip off all limits. I’m not joking. Really not. This is why capitalism and fascism go so well together.
teri@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History MonthEnglish722·5 months agoGoogle 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.
Thanks Microsoft for admitting that Wimdows sucks. You didn’t even try really.
