“Not sustainable” is really just Google not wanting to get a antitrust lawsuit from the Trump administration
Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world.
It’s pretty hard to add a recurring event that takes place at the same time every fucking year in a calendar, cut them some slack.
Unrelated, Kissinger is commemorated on 29 November.
“The holiday database was just OUT OF CONTROL! We had to just start ripping holidays out of there left and right.”
Sounds like google needs a few lessons on database management?
Well, left and left.
Their hardware just isn’t powerful enough to process the amount of data that all those holidays produce
Yeah, i usually just shut my computer down between xmas and new years–the calendar just can’t take it
So, how many companies we have on the list now? I guess it’s just a matter of time until Microsoft joins the club.
Bill gates has at least been anti-elon in the last few weeks. Don’t get me wrong he’s still a billionaire exploiting the system, but I don’t know if Microsoft is going to bend
Bill Gates doesn’t have anything to do with Microsoft anymore
And Bezos with Amazon but people still think he’s the CEO.
I really hope they won’t, but I’m pretty sure they will sooner or later.
Microsoft sucks, obviously, but Xbox has been touting diversity and accessibility pretty hard for the last decade and tried to make them part of their brand
eh, all fake.
they will say whatever shit they think will make them more money.
While I don’t disagree, I’d say gamer culture is pretty misogynistic and unwelcoming for minorities. So, it’s more of a risk than in other communities.calcukated risk, I’m sure.
I mean, so did Target. But you can’t expect these companies to resist when we’re barely in the streets. From their perspective the average person doesn’t care and the government is going to fuck them with a jackfruit. So they’re going to sign with the government until we show that we give a fuck, and boycotting products is barely going to move the needle.
What do you mean by take to the streets, because if it’s just more non violent signs-and-chants protests you might as well just accept this new reality because that sure as hell isn’t going to stop this.
I think you need to use your imagination a little more
My imagination works just fine. As does my memory of every single mass political movement in my lifetime being cowed, suppressed, and ultimately co-opted into a completely toothless mockery of itself.
You have an amazing memory.
ah yes and the solution to that is of course to give up
i don’t know how you’ve misread what i’ve said so completely as to think that was the point I was trying to get across.
Yeah, but money? If the political environment in America changes, companies adapt. Supporting minorities has always been nothing but a PR move for them, so dropping the act shouldn’t be a problem for the soulless scumbags.
