    “You just uninstalled Chrome We’re sorry to see you go. Please help us improve Google Chrome by filling out this short survey. Your feedback is appreciated.” And…no link to any survey provided, so I can’t tell them why they can go fuck themselves. I still use Youtube non premium, with an ad blocker, but I’m open to any suggestions for a replacement site…

    The agents who implement state violence are not a group. They’re agents of the state.

    And now Google is directly collaborating with an oppressive autocratic regime.

    For the rest of my life I will never forget that Apple and Google went out of their way to defend and protect the Nazi SS of our time.

    Absolutely fucking evil and unforgivable.

      Not saying this about you necessarily, but the sad part is that there are millions of people who share this feeling, but will still buy the latest iPhone and browse Youtube with it.

      If we had a better sense of community, people would be able to form actual boycott movements that have impact, but we’ve been trained to avoid other others, stay “rugged individuals” and keep our opinions to ourselves lest we face social backlash. This is all deliberate and designed.

        We are far, far beyond the point of a boycott having any chance whatsoever of taking down the richest corpos in the history of the world.

    Ah yes… the guys with masks, guns, the backing of the president, and virtually unlimited federal government resources are a “vulnerable group”

    Vulnerable my aunts fanny. They aggressively terrorize everywhere they go. Go everywhere armed to the teeth and are not in any way shape or form threatened with anything or anyone that could harm them sufficiently to put them into a threatened category. This is just google telling us whose side they are on

    Do we know yet that what ICE is doing even legal? (kidnapping, detaining, etc) I haven’t followed closely enough to be sure of that. Does the actual police just sit by and watch?

      We’re at that point where we have started to realize that laws are just words on paper unless someone enforces them.

        1312 is another good way of subvert messaging because it can be mistook as the international and area codes for Chicago, IL

      Going into an apartment complex, arresting everyone there including children, including US citizens, without a warrant? That’s illegal. But there’s nothing you can do about it except sue them afterwards.

    Someone recommended Kagi in another thread yesterday and that night I finally became 100% google free. Search was the last big hurdle. I was literally the biggest google fanboy. I had google home devices, google wifi, I wanted all their devices, had all their services, everything was set up and integrated. De-googling was fucking hard but I did it and I’m super proud and I’ve learned so much about how tech works setting up my replacement services and devices. Fuck you Google.

      How was search and not the usual maps the hardest? The search is what I feel like most people switch first.

        Idk I started using organicmaps (comaps now) long long ago. I guess I don’t have a great fundamental understanding of search. Are not most other search engines just hopping on the back of google search engines? I honestly don’t know. Its not an area I’ve spent a lot of time learning about - or maybe I’m just a backwards dude haha.

          No, that’s fair play! I think you were just ahead of the curve with ditching google maps :D I use a combo of OSMAnd, Comaps, and Magic Earth (not open source, but has live traffic data).
