Tbf this is the same company that sought to fix their systemic under hiring of black Americans by opening a Black People Office in Atlanta, with rap decor and everything. Somehow, I’m not joking.
They never really got it, so are happy to drop the facade, I’m sure
Oh gosh….this Google executives need to get to work… they literally sinking the company. That’s why they get translations wrong, can’t update sentiment, can’t update algorithms based on behavior/culture.. keywords, local business… is a whole disaster serious…
Woohoo, 🤬 for the intellectual business, that built itself on DEI and falls for the 🤡🍊🎪 with power and mite! So sorry Google that your mindless, spineless, and just want to be one of the fascist, racist boys of Clown Academy🤡
Just another big tech company showing it has no real morales, just chasing the $ and blowing with the political wind. Gone from "Don't be Evil" to "Dr Evil" in a hurry
FCK these tech bro companies. Rise up employees, especially those workers of color or others who could be branded as diversity less-thans. What an insult to you. Take them down.
duckduckGo is super good. Take the time to find the tutorials to remove most of Google from Android. It's a GIANT pain in the ass, but doable. Google will also try to reassert itself and you have to redo things occasionally.
Anti-diversity is the 2025 version of white men only … We had this information…https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelleking/2023/05/16/who-benefits-from-diversity-and-inclusion-efforts/ @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social @accountablegop.bsky.social @cnn.com @hrw.org
So they went from “it is part of everything we do” to not at all what we do”. Doesn’t sound like a company that actually believed in what they said were their core values.
A generic reminder to everyone that you can report and block or mute troll accounts. Blocking wipes out their comments, muting means that you don't see their writings anymore, but they can see yours.
I don’t give a sh$$ about DEI or any of that (everybody shall live his own life) but those that first were "all in” and now are caving …..spineless money whores…
Google has absolutely no obligation to follow Trump's orders in regard to diversity hiring. It's a private company and can hire whoever they want. This is strictly an act of cowardice and a demonstration of white supremacy. Use a different search engine or artificial intelligence.
We are now in the "Hitler told me to do it" phase of American life. A PRIVATE company following the fuhrer's orders and marching toward the cruel, white Darwin Award level of mediocrity. Race to the bottom.
Hee Google it must be hell to have to do what tRump says. Maybe you should just take your app down. We do not need you at all. I was fine before and I will be fine after.
We could be sure that they were qualified and earned their place if we had fair, colourblind meritocracy, but instead we have quota systems, so that begs the question: are they diversity hires, or did they earn it?
To the person who told people to block me: does opposing racial discrimination and preferential treatment based on race make you a "MAGA"? Was MLK "MAGA"?
Haven't you learnt that calling your political and ideological opponents 'NAZIS' is what cost you the last election?! At some point you have to climb down from your high horse and actually engage with people on contentious issues...
No they are not the majority and since time began they have indeed been overrepresented and done a lousy job given the state of the world. Time they stepped aside.
I wish The Guardian and all media outlets would stop saying "DEI" and start saying "Diversity Equity and Inclusion" in full instead. Stop being lazy and say out what it really means.
I’ve deleted Gmail, google maps, and chrome from my computer. I use DuckDuckGo for any web search. I even stopped using safari since it uses google search.
What is the alternative to google cloud storage (including photos) at a company that has not bent the knee? Or is it better to just move everything off cloud storage?
Duckduckgo is Google, just without the logo. Switch to something like Yahoo or Bing if you want to leave Google. The only problem is, both Yahoo's owner and Microsoft also contributed to the ring kissing ceremony. So, you're effed no matter what. 😅
Yes, it is a unique company, just like other meta crawlers. The point is, they "crawl" onto other services, directly or indirectly from Google. All I am saying is, the privacy you think you have, it isn't that private. Or else, Google would have sued them into non-existence over a decade ago.
The evidence is, how hyper-protective all of these services are about their user base and data. Them aggressively suing anyone vaguely indicating they're stealing or copying data or results while claiming they are indeed the source. Ducky Go doesn't claim they're the source, so they're "safe".
...Anyways, thy do not use cookies to track you. They stopped actively doing that years ago and finally removed them completely from their sites last year. Because they know how easily hijacked a cookie is. Making it a waste of time for Google. PayPal's Honey voucher-plugin is a notorious stealer.
Okay, maybe "a bit" exaggerated, but, Google technically doesn't use cookies either. Those days are long gone for them. Which is why they virtue signalling by being on the "ban cookies" side. They track devices, infrastructure, user behaviour. Because it is so much more accurate than a cookie.
Try Kagi :) it’ll change your life, esp if you work a knowledge job or look for PDFs often. No ads is incredible, and obviously important when you think about it in hindsight
No, they're very woke (in a good way). Sorry, that was unclear. Just laughing because I don't think shit-talking google on bsky is part of their corporate PR plan, much less shit-talking the president.
It's based on Bing, not great with encrypting user data that it keeps for atleast 7 days and occasionally sells to Microsoft. It censors "violence and porn" without clear defining of what that is. They censor news sites like Al Jazeera and dozens of southern hemisphere news outlets. Try Brave.
Obeying in advance .... Trumps orders are only a thing if you really don't care about your employees! The likes of Delta Air Lines and Costco are saying they'll stick with DEI.
I really don't want to rant about white supremacists and tech right now. Without literal laws and policies enforced by other entities and watchdog groups, they'll always choose the flop sweat cishet white male.
This is the correct thing to do.
Any moron would know that employees should be chosen by their ability, not by what they are or what they think they are.
Fact.
the big problem, is if they dont they could be "punished"
think massive gov and dod contracts canceled, doj investigations going forward in harsh ways. tons of ways for them to be punished.
lots of companys basically following suit not becuase they want to, but becuz they feel they have tosurvive

DIVERSITY is always there,
Yet fairness isn’t everywhere.
EQUALITY’s the dream we chase.
INCLUSION gives us all a place.
Trump just solved their problem AND gave them a scapegoat when the cry-babies moan.
As Orwell wrote, clipping phrases helps people to avoid thinking about them.
correct your wrongthink
It was by way of explanation.
I thought Tim Cook would hold out.
Wrong again.
I also use Brave.
And I have seen no evidence so far indicating that they are mistaken.
