  Like if you can't do the absolute basics to say that LGBTQA+ people are welcome in your companies, if you remove fucking *pride* and *black history month* from your holiday calendars... I mean, fuck you people.  —  www.theverge.com/news/608858/ ...

  This kind of shit is why I am switching to Proton & moving ditching the Google ecosystem.  All my domains are now pointing to proton and I will pay them.  Capitalism needs to be reminded their actions have consequences.  FAFO.  —  https://www.theverge.com/news/608858/ google-cale…

  This may seem like “whatever,” but erasing groups from public consciousness starts small.  First, minimize outrage and let discourse be diluted, then erase media.  —  www.theverge.com/news/608858/ ...

  If we're lucky enough to make it through this and get to the point where the pendulum is swinging the other way, it's gonna be real interesting when these tech companies that made knee jerk fascism compliances go “uh right so we fuck with Holocaust Remembrance Day again btw.”

  Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app. This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico's name to “Gulf of America.” [image]

  Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn't ‘sustainable’ |  Google says it switched to only showing default entries …

  Renaming in general is lame. It was lame of the Democrats to try to rename Fort Bragg. It's lame of the Republicans to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico.

  @eigenrobot One thing I'm kind of surprised by is that the gulf of America stuff polls *terribly* [image]

• @jamesrbuk James Ball on x

  If anything epitomises 2025-era Google, it's surely this Maps decision. It looks cluttered, it's a messy compromise that will please no-one, and it took them several weeks to do it. And they'll probably change it five more times in the next few weeks. [image]

• @inlandcaguy @inlandcaguy on x

  It's pretty wild that pardoning the Jan 6th protestors is *more* popular than “Gulf of America.” Like, even some people who think Jan 6th was an inside job or make excuses for lawbreaking are rolling their eyes at performative nationalism.
