In the early days, Google valued their employees VERY highly. They didn’t lay people off when projects closed, they moved them around. Now (since the covid-19 pandemic), that has changed.

OK, now this probably isn’t malicious, but I can’t help thinking that it is EXTREMELY BAD. Google search is broken for Firefox on Android, apparently because Google is doing strange things with browser identification. (Confirmed: it affects me.)

The shape of lowercase “G”. The printed form and the handwritten form are drastically different, most people don’t really know that, and Google chose a really weird variant of the printed form for their original logo.

Memos used as evidence in the antitrust case against Google show the thought process underlying enshitification.

Another rant with lots of specific complaints about Google cloud. It’s not the errors, really – it’s the lack of willingness to address them.
