Can we get a “restore my identity” calendar that is just these to be a top subscribed one? Show that this was in fact something that people wanted? I get if people don’t want to stay on Google products, but having them subscribe even on Google accounts they aren’t using would be using data to speak

borisnorth.bsky.social•85 days ago

Change your calender to one that does list them, the more people that do moving away from Google the more they will realise their mistake

Is a sad time as history is repeating as this regime is following Hitlers playbook. Every day it’s like watching a demon and his disciples tearing away at rights, freedom, humanity, dignity and truth. Every person on earth will be affected in some way by these men and women’s actions.

❤️ In the 60s my mom got in trouble at her college job for putting Malcolm X’s birthday on the calendar.

When China looks significantly more ethical than the current amusingly designated US government and its big business camp followers, you know you're in big trouble. That's because "looks" filters through slowly whereas "is" was planned and happened some time ago while the majority weren't looking.

Do people who are not considered a white Christian see where your value is in Trump's administration enabled by Google? You disappear.....

dasra.bsky.social•85 days ago

de Google your computer, and phones. I dont use any on the computer exept (youtube, whit adblocker), and I have minimun Google shit in my phone, you can do it too.

njgram.bsky.social•85 days ago

What are the steps, please?

dasra.bsky.social•85 days ago

on the computer remove chrome, edge, install Duckduckgo browser and change to duckduck search engine

njgram.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thanks - I believe I have successfully installed Firefox (good?)

Don't forget their Maps, which rewrote 500 years of history to rename the Gulf of Mexico in order to appease the cosplay dictator.

shammaiintl.bsky.social•86 days ago

Don't ask me how I know this, but you can't just hack BHM back onto the calendar. Companies like Google have very tight security.

On the other hand, they can't force their employees to stay quiet about all this.

shammaiintl.bsky.social•86 days ago

Also, trolling is still on the table. Has anyone reported the missing holidays as a bug yet, I wonder?

duabe.bsky.social•86 days ago

No. Just found out here. I did do a survey (“view you less favorably”) and comment to Google about the Gulf of America showing to US folks. I switched from Chrome to Safari. Told them they are media and information, important, need to be trustworthy but are blowing it.

gasorg.bsky.social•86 days ago

Better to stop using Google as much as possible.

"It is and always has been called the Gulf of Mexico and will continue to be called that by the rest of the world. Stop kowtowing to fascists!"

dallasyeehawthorn.bsky.social•85 days ago

Either I’m doing something wrong or Google has deactivated that option since this went viral

teejaykay.bsky.social•85 days ago

Worked fine for me. But if it’s not working for you, I would just file it on a random search instead. Force them to see it.

dallasyeehawthorn.bsky.social•85 days ago

I figured out what I was doing wrong — I was going through Google maps and not Google search results

ohweebeasties.bsky.social•86 days ago

FWIW, you can send feedback to Google right from the calendar as free text. Why not bombard them with it?

mollyculture.bsky.social•85 days ago

Wait, how does one do this?

ohweebeasties.bsky.social•85 days ago

On my app, I click the three line menu at the upper left, scroll all the way to the bottom on the left panel, and click Help & Feedback. Then I choose Send Feedback.

shammaiintl.bsky.social•86 days ago

If you do this, I suggest framing your issue as legitimately sounding and broadly as possible, so any AI classifiers will think you're actually experiencing data loss

mollyculture.bsky.social•85 days ago

I don't mean to sound stupid, but I am not techy, I'm a Gardener, and at this exact moment I'm on quite a few pain meds. Could you give me a base phrase that I could adapt? That would be super helpful.

emzeegee.bsky.social•85 days ago

My guess is, that means a phrase like “Major events are not showing up on my Google Calendar,” or similar. 😊

mollyculture.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thank you! It's true! I'm trying to back out of the whole Google ecosystem, but I want to give them hell as I go.

liss-levinson.bsky.social•86 days ago

Just checked January 27, 2026 Holocaust Remembrance Day on my Google Calendar and it doesn't show.

jmcthornton.bsky.social•86 days ago

Just opened a Proton account after 20 years of Google following this disgraceful capitulation.

hittielove2.bsky.social•85 days ago

We can also stop using Google.

laurastroup.bsky.social•85 days ago

I just added the app “DuckDuckGo” I recommend!!

3siamesecats.bsky.social•85 days ago

If you don’t know how to stop using Google completely, aim to limit how much you use the platform. That’s what I’m doing, and it will make cutting it completely much easier in the future

hittielove2.bsky.social•85 days ago

Thank you. I also am going to let them know that it's not ok what they did.

Time to be annoying about open sourced alternatives to google products!

Checked and seems to be confirmed https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/10/google-calendar-removes-start-of-black-history-womens-history-months.html

"and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable,” the spokesperson added.

Lol, they admitted here they suck at technology.

carodjah.bsky.social•86 days ago

That’s hilariously weak considering Apple’s calendar still recognizes every holiday under the sun. Pathetic cowards begging for senpai trump to notice them.

You should follow https://bsky.app/profile/notechforapartheid.bsky.social since they've been warning of Google's involvement in genocide for a long time

nj2la2pagirl.bsky.social•85 days ago

If I see one Jesus Celebration Day or Bible Month on it, I will personally blow up Google Headquarters.

awkwardbirb.bsky.social•85 days ago

Isn't that just Christmas?

nj2la2pagirl.bsky.social•85 days ago

Christmas is Christmas, but I hear ya! I’m talking about a day in like July that everyone is forced to attend Christian Nationalist’s churches. 😉

awkwardbirb.bsky.social•85 days ago

I mean sunday is the day people are expected to go to church, certainly wouldn't put it past them to try and make that mandatory for everyone regardless of religion, no matter how blasphemous the idea would be to actual Christianity.

laverneousdonkler.bsky.social•85 days ago

What's google?

altrandall.bsky.social•85 days ago

Doesn't take 3 seconds to check

Put Holocaust rememberance day into your calendar it returns nothing

If you put Egyptian sportsman's Day in, it will happily provide the date on your calendar

Google has gone full shit

lilykunning.bsky.social•85 days ago

For sone of us, we use Google workplace- that starts with a domain email address, a drive, docs and sheets, calendar. They have made themselves fully entrenched at so many businesses. I will be looking for alternatives, but it’s not as easy as a calendar app. I hate it.

melissanky.bsky.social•85 days ago

Google office sucks. I'm in an organization that uses it and am trying to adapt, but seriously, it's so inferior to Microsoft that I don't understand how it ever got off the ground

fatslyce.bsky.social•85 days ago

Lots of things were free and Google had vision at one point in time. Those days are over. They have successfully destroyed their search engine and the office products are like someone got bored and forgot about them…but then started charging more for them. Microsoft has really stepped things up.

anxioustortoise.bsky.social•85 days ago

I've used Google my whole life and I hate this so much.

Disappointed doesn't do justice to describe my emotions.

margueritevillier.bsky.social•85 days ago

DO NOT COLLECT YOUR SILICON VALLEY PAYCHECK WITHOUT PAYING YOUR MORAL DUES RIGHT NOW

history will not be kind to you

becca.is•86 days ago

I want to believe otherwise, but I don’t think we’re going to see a ton of resistance from inside big tech. We have been trained for years to collect a paycheck without asking questions. It’s basically a part of the job description at this point.

armyofmeat.bsky.social•85 days ago

This is also why they love H1B visas so much. Even if some employees wanted to stand up, they couldn’t for fear of being deported. It’s extreme

When I was at Amazon, a Indian employee jumped out of a window because he felt he had no options after a being saddled manager with a vendetta against him

maryneedsnohail.bsky.social•86 days ago

This applies to pretty much anyone who's been able to get away with unethical acts. It's why consequences for doing the wrong thing are so important. Not because of some childish revenge thing. But because many people weren't raised to avoid it unless it is associated with difficult experiences.

lostservice22.bsky.social•86 days ago

A lot of "Just doing my job" going on around here.
