Black-owned businesses can now be highlighted in Google Search and Maps
https://www.inputmag.com/culture…It's cool if it helps these businesses.
It's not cool if certain people can use the same feature to avoid them- Hmm, I wonder if history can inform us on how these things will turn outGnash

- this seems incredibly backwards.inteliboy
- Exactly, something like this : https://live.staticf…Salarrue

- @mono, casual racists will love this. They will be far from triggered by thisGnash

Fuck Google.

"Google made $4.7bn in advertising from news content last year, almost as much as the revenue of the entire online news industry."
- fuck google! fuck content creators! fuck employing people! we should redistribute $$ to qbnners. we deserve it more!hotroddy
- erm, if you read the article or paid any attention to what's been happening for years, you'd realise that Google is effectively stealing from 'content creators'Nairn
- I mean, that was kind of the fundamental point of the article I linked. I find it hard to understand how you could miscomprehend it so thoroughly.Nairn
- I stand corrected.hotroddy
- I didn't read the article in haste to respond. I can get behind fucking google but what's stopping content creators from using a different ad platform?hotroddy
- @hotroddy lol, what other ad platforms? You basically have 2 choices: fb for social media (fb + insta) and google for the entire wwwgrafician
- that's my point. what is stopping the NYT from selling their own ad space? Like they do in print?hotroddy
- The backend I suppose.monospaced

People are stealing hundreds of Google's campus bikes per week. Some are going as far as Mexico.- Better get that wall up fast!inv
- they can supposedly index every webpage on the net but can't even keep track of 900 bikes?PonyBoy
- they know where they're at, which you would know if you'd cared to read potardimbecile
- No... their bikes are stolen regularly meaning they do not keep track of them/ know where they’re at... What article did you read, idiot?PonyBoy
- Im surprised they don’t use a simple gps app to track them like recent bike sharing companies that are popping up in major citiesPonyBoy
- https://www.google.c…PonyBoy
- Edit: I’m surprised the gps doesn’t work as well a deterrent as the bike shares popping up (they do use gps of cour$e)PonyBoy
- the comments in the article tell you everything you need to know anyway... locals treat Goggle like shitPonyBoy
- Perhaps they’re aware and aren’t actually pursuing them actively.monospaced

Turns out that even tho there's no headphone jack, they give you a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter with the phone.
They are really turning Apple's smugness to their advantage.
- didn't the iPhone also come with an adapter and headphones?monospaced
- Yeah, you get an adapter. As you do with the Motorola phones. From over a year ago.face_melter
- then why is everyone complaining about getting adapters?!zarkonite

Google is fucking creepy.
I really need to make more effort to jettison their 'services'.
- Facebook's far creepier, for sure, but from my perspective mostly easily avoidable.detritus
- It really isn't. None of it will matter when you are dead in 30ish years.fadein11
- How not?detritus
- because noone will give a shit what you bought, browsed or wanked to.fadein11
- i meant, how is it really not creepy? I don't doubt no one will give a fuck in 3 years, never mind 30, what I do. But that's hardly the point.detritus
- Ah the good old 'no one is interested in you so it's fine if you're spied on' bile.
Bile, by idiots for idiots.set - Was that aimed at me? I thought I was stating the opposite? Of course it's a fucking problem.detritus
- Not aimed at you. Obviously...set
- Jesus - give me a break. I was being light hearted. Spying isn't good no but Google are not the only ones doing it. And yet again Set is confused, a big Androidfadein11
- fan no?fadein11
- If you are that concerned ditch all smartphones, use a tor browser etc. etc. I think its pretty much unavoidable these days isn't it.fadein11
- "I don't doubt no one will give a fuck in 3 years, never mind 30" - this tickled me.fadein11
- I'm not confused in the slightestset
- Well, in relation to this post, at least...set
- so on one hand you consider Google spying on you an issue to be worried about yet on the other you use and promote Android to others on this forum.fadein11
- You can't really have your cake and eat it can you. Surely if you are THAT concerned you wouldn't use a device that does it. Hmmm.fadein11
- Of course I can have my cake and eat it. I couldn't give two shits...set
- ... but the argument that no one wants to spy on you, or that you're not doing anything illegal, so why does it matter if you're spied on is completely retardedset
- But that wasn't my argument at any pointfadein11
- it was a silly joke about wanking mate - lighten up.fadein11
- lol you're completely self absorbed. You daid that no one cares what he does so it doesn't matter and I said how retarded that so commonly used argument isset
- Get over yourselfset
- https://images.rapge…fadein11
- It was still never my argument lol. Numbnuts.fadein11
- And I never said noone cares what he does either.fadein11
- Jesus set, straight in the deep end yet again. Your posts are truly obnoxious to read, ughTOMMYxGUNN

How many viruses and malware infections does it have already?
- there's no earphone jack so the viruses can't get inGnash

whats great about Google and the Pixel2, you have exactly the same feature on Pixel2 and Pixel2 XL, you only chose a screen size. Apple put the best feature in their XL and it sucks.
- iPhone 8 and 8+ I think is the comparison?monospaced
- I ordered the regular size, it's too bad the earbuds aren't available yet...zarkonite
- LOLOL. no headphone jack. Also no headphones.monNom
- That's good for users like myself that want the regular size one, but surely it makes sense to have more in the larger one if there's more space for itset

TL;DR: Gmail spam filter is shit. What should I switch to?
I’m slowly moving away from google Search. Very easy to set Safari to DuckDuckGo. This is mostly a privacy thing but also a “I want to see if the results are different.” (So far they are, but not perfect. DDG needs to figure out proximity prioritization.)
Anyway, for months I’ve noticed that gmail spam filter is brutal. I didn’t notice until I started applying for jobs last year. Tons of interview offers and other important emails went to spam. In many cases, these were direct emails from people I had already emailed and in a few instances they were replies to my emails!!!
During those months, I had to manually check and clear my gmail spam filter every day. It felt like 2002. Gmail put about 80-100 emails per day in there, and about ONE IN FIVE emails related to my job hunt ended there. !!!!!
Should I run my own email server? Sounds exhausting. Get a werido paranoid service like @protonmail? Back to hotmail?
Who is doing email right?
- if you have a portfolio website, surely you have setup an email address with your domain? Use that for jobs, but don't post it directly on your site - you'llshapesalad
- attract spam bots scraping for email address. Setup spam filters as you wish in cpanel if your host has that.shapesalad
- also the more you filter your spam and tick the 'not spam' thing, the more gmail learns what is and isn't spam for you.shapesalad
- https://www.hey.com/…grafician
- using the same gmail for like 13 years and yes I click “not spam” and try to teach google. It hasn’t learned yet? This is bullshit garbage technology.nb
- I can’t imagine how many emails I lost because I wasn’t meticulously combing thru my spam filter. I thought google was supposed to be good. Lolnb
