Google is offering a far more pared-down solution to the court’s ruling that it illegally monopolized search

    It’s a miracle that Google botched messengers, Google+, cloud ('member app engine?). They could have been even more dominant. I still like them more than MS and FB.

          Does anyone ever actually ‘want’ Xcode? Is it not just a necessary evil to be able to do iOS development?

          Agreed otherwise, M-series macs are sick as hell

          Actually, the walled garden around xcode is infuriating. To develop for Apple you need current hardware running the latest operating systems. You have to stay squarely in their ecosystem to generate anything that builds for their mobile devices.

      Yeah, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. It’s just another asshole.

      Google, over the past few years has notably getting worse. Apps that always worked flawlessly lately started getting buggy. YouTube app on Android now crashes near daily, Gmail is suddenly riddled with bugs… It wasn’t like this.

      Google was a software / tech company that started dabbling in ads to make money. This change toe company to what it is now, an ad company that does a bit of tech on the side.

      Google Chrome is now the new ie6 and though it sucks in different ways from ie6, at the core the problem is the same

      Google and Microsoft are really the same company, it’s just that (for now, still) Google’s software sucks less

        Have you tried NewPipe? YouTube changed the API a few times, and it broke for a day. Otherwise, it’s excellent. I had trouble with Google Pay lately, which is really frustrating, I reverted to cash. No trouble with Chrome or Gmail on Android.

          Google Pay is the most underrated product in terms of privacy. Just think, you’re disclosing your financial status and consumer habits to the world’s largest advertising company.
