She works at Google, not Yandex.
Though I’m sure Google could manage something equally mysterious.

What’s the source of this photo? I saw a different comment mention bodies and a satellite photo, is this what they were referring to?
- j0ester@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
It’s a Google satellite. That’s what you see on theirs. If you use Apple Maps satellite view, it looks so clean.
1 yearLiterally on Google Maps right now. It’s called Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo.

For anyone who actually cares enough to look this up for themselves,
13°32’1" N 88°48’18" W
Or,
13.53361°N 88.80500° W
Maps is clean but Google Earth has a historical view. The OTHERWISE UNATTRIBUTED PICTURE (therefore invalid as a source) is from March 2024.
Fuck you guys, learn to read and research, fuck!

“Dont be evil” was never a promise it always had been a warning to the users.

Can’t be many of us who thought the web search engine company would turn into the killbot company.
Yup, but around the time they came out with Google Desktop I started to wonder what the future held.

An AI arms embargo sounds great.
How the fuck are you going to implement an arms embargo on software that is literally designed and developed and run on the cloud?
How do you literally develop from a cloud? Are jetpacks involved?

Well. I can guarantee you those Chromebooks they make devs use are not doing the processing locally.

The author should have quit long ago. Many employees are complicit.
- doingthestuff@lemy.lolEnglish1 year
Yeah, I get paid 1/10th of that and I could do a lot better - and I used to - but I work for a nonprofit I care about. Greed is a hell of a drug.

She is still working there. Yeah, sure, maybe she is taking a risk now that her name is out there publicly criticizing, but this article is just for her to feel good about herself. “But look guys, I think Google sucks too, I am not bad like them. I just help them accomplish their goals and get paid for it 🙃”
- BackgrndNoize@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
She could have said nothing and kept quiet like the thousands of other workers at Google, this could not only get her fired but maybe even blacklisted in the industry, that’s far more than you’ve ever done or will ever do to bring attention to this issue, so how about you keep that cynicism in check.
- rolling@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
Ohh nooo. Poor her with all the stock options she got while working there from basically their startup days. Whatever this poor damsel will do with 20+ years of experience working in one of the biggest tech companies in the world.
I might not have the platform to bring attention to this issue, but hey, at least I don’t actively help them, do their work and then reap the benefits of all the evil they do anyways.
Unlike her, my issues with Google does not end with the Israel issue. Google is evil regardless of this single issue.

If all the people who disagreed left, there would be no chance of opposition
- graff@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
That may be true, but you know who has less influence than a level 3 software developer working at Google? Someone who doesn’t work at Google :)
- rolling@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
The opposition comes from us, the consumers who refuse to use Google products.
- CalipherJones@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
As if working at Google is remotely close to directly participating in the fucking Holocaust.

Do they feel heartbreak over the millions of dollars in compensation and stock options they’ve collected in those decades? Easy to write piece like this and go back to your comfortable lifestyle and just feel the fuzzy feeling of speaking out about a bad guy.
- CalipherJones@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
Nothing is enough for guys that comment on the internet. Maybe they should post comments on lemmy. That’ll show the world.

So the author was fine with every other fucked up, privacy invading, monopolistic practice from Google, but it was a tenuous relationship with Israel that they can’t forgive?
- diffusive@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
As much I care about privacy and free market, I still consider war or genocide to be worse. Call me crazy 🤷♂️
Listen pal, I was fine with invading Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark and the Netherlands, but I draw the line at France!
- coffeeismydrug@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
i mean monopolistic and privacy invading versus associating with something that is slaughtering women and children in their own land, it’s not the same in my opinion.

I degoogled for the first time two days ago aaaaand, it’s actually way easier than I expected and actually, dare I say… fun?
Fun in that I have new apps to try, all over the place. I spent that whole evening combing f-droid for everything I need and got it all sorted out.
SMS? Backed up
Contacts? Backed up
Photos? Syncthing’d
Passwords? I’m a card carrying Keepass user.
Music? Pulled down my streaming service from Aurora and it just works.
Email? Thunderbird’d’d
Cloud? Mini PC’d and NFS’d
Google? Gone and not missed.
- lud@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
Email? Thunderbird’d’d
Thunderbird is only a mail client. Don’t forget to actually move from gmail if you want to degoogle.
