I believe we have not done this for a while, so in the light of the new shenanigans, can I have a hearty "Fuck Google" please? :blobcatmegumin:

@rysiek

I'm a parent so have trouble cursing.

But how about

Let loose the dogs of anti-trust enforcement and shatter that google monstrosity into dozens of independent companies.

@alienghic oh damn, that's brutal! And I am so here for it! :blobcatfingerguns:

@alienghic the most devastating thing you could have said

@alienghic
How dangerously poetic.
And if they are reluctant, we might throw them a cocktail party for starters ... There was this terrific bartender, fellow had that eastern sounding name, like from my part of the woods ... What was it ... Molokov, or whatnot?!
@rysiek

@rysiek Google blows. Google should take a long walk on a short pier. Google should go into the closet and suck eggs. Google should go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. Google should go take a flying fuck at the mooooon!

@rysiek fuck ... Wait for it... Gooooogle !!!

@bob haha I think I actually know one of the people in that photo. 👀

@rysiek I kinda miss when it was just a search engine and it actually worked.

@adminkirsty
It wasn't so long ... shit ...
Well guess enshittification was a long game in the days, my friend. Then again the signs were there all along the way to here, weren't they?
@JeremyMallin @rysiek

#FuckGoogle - I use a VPN and my main browser isn't logged into their apps, so they usually challenge me with captchas whenever I try and search with them anyway.

Feels like an infinite loop of it sometimes.

How hard I gotta work for one quick syntax lookup or whatever?

These days I curse my finger-memory and swap over quickly to the duck.

@rysiek

@rysiek Fuck Google!

Now to undermine the webapp ideology which entrenches their massive sway over the web...

@rysiek why just not ban google domains and some web extensions in next firefox and google-against chromium-based browsers?

@mannazsci @rysiek shit for a second I thought it’s actually @rysiek performing

@rysiek Have a very merry fuck google

@rysiek

Google's Saudi investors get a lot of blame for Google "captive consumers" policies. And yes, Mohammed bin Salman is 100% in favor of willingly buying companies to erode American democracy.

However, people overlook how Goggle willingly took investment dollars from a murderous thug.

Google willingly obeys the dictates of its oil despotic investors.

American corporation are willingly betraying democracy to foreign enemies

@rysiek

Bear with me. I know the following is a stretch, but...

The Supreme Court of The US were bribed by to confer "personhood" on corporations.

They established a legal principle with interesting implications.

With "personhood" comes the other unenumerated expectations, duties, & responsibilities of "being people".

That includes moral standards, a standard of ethics, etc that exist for humans.

This includes criminal, and not civil, penalties for breaking the law.

Currently, corporations can commit murder & pay a fine or settle a lawsuit & consider it a "cost of doing business" and keep murdering.

People aren't allowed to pay fines and continue their lawbreaking. That's two tiered justice.

If corporations are "people" they should get equal application of the law.

Including being prosecuted criminally for murder, for example.

The oil industry is murdering the people who live on this planet through climate change and climate denialism.

Corporations fund disinformation that is prolonging a pandemic.

Corporations fund malign influence campaigns to elect anti-vaxxer conmen like RFK Jr. to public office.

They fund politicians to withhold medical care. How is that different than a mobster hiring a hitman to poison the water supply?

Does this include paying taxes like a "person"? Voting like a "person" ie 1 vote only?

Corporations want to pick & choose which aspects of "personhood" apply, when real people can't.

@Npars01 yes, that's kind of the point I am making in my ancient blog post as well. If corporations want the benefits of "personhood", they must be made to face the downsides.

@rysiek

wants to create legal precedents for feudalistic high and low justice for corporations.

Their efforts to create oligarchical corporate "super citizens", as they are attempting with Trump as a "unitary executive", are ominous

Similar to the impunity from the law that existed for monarchs & the aristocracy, "corporations as people" has consequences.

@Npars01 @rysiek Ironically, the precedent used by the conservative justices to give personhood to corporations was from an old case that was settled with the railroads in the 1800's I believe where a court clerk falsely posted the wrong outcome. Any legal scholar knows of this and would have been aghast at using this precedent.

@rysiek
I'd suggest we do no longer spell out this euphemism, but call this thing out:

»#BrowserSuppression, aka #WEI«

@aral

@rysiek o::::::::::: even blobcats dont like web environment integrity.

@rysiek They're now also preventing people from opening issues on their github page to shut down critics! Fuck Google.

@rysiek
Let's fuck Google, looks like the 90s are back in style

@rysiek Indeed. Wholeheartedly and without remorse:
Fuuck Google
