It's interesting that they had to hire from abroad. Meanwhile Latine people are the least represented demographic. It's not just Trump and racism at the border. Racism against Latine is everywhere. And worse is how accepted it is.

What does it tell about our economy when a value creating company has to declare layoffs whereas the ad-companies are still untouched?

Another blow to privacy. I really hope Apple would come to search market and challenge Google.

I wish everyone would start using Twitch, so that we can have a proper alternative of Google/Youtube.

> If they do not find relationships / friendships there, where and when will they?

Because of the plitical climate. Very few people would be inclined to pursure romantic relationships with coworkers. Meanwhile people at the same coworking space is a fair game. I am speaking from my own experience. The bad thing is it also becomes like high school. Because there's no HR policy to keep people in check.

I wonder if this bugs exists on FireOS. It's obvious that bugs like this will happen in a spyware company product like Google.

Thank you for saying this. We know xenophobic racist right wingers are saying that COVID came from China. But WHO-China investigation definitely proved that COVID came outside of China. Even western virologists have been supporting Chinese scientists. [1]

> we gays know how bad diseases can get, and fuck it my dating life even after 2 years of pandemic is not as important as is my life

That's a nice sentiment I guess. Meanwhile my gay friend didn't stop "socialization" during the pandemic except first few early months. According to him he must've had COVID at least 4 times by now. If you add natural immunity, vaccine and asymptotic transmission he was getting exposed to COVID pretty much all the time.

This is nothing against gay community. This is against idolozation of certain communities and demonization of certain other communities to fit certain political narrative. Reality is more complex and nuance.

Everyone should move to Twitch and make it a proper alternative to Youtube. I trust Amazon way more than an ad company like Google.

Thank you for posting this. Moreover Google is a spyware company that holds users hostages for money. I wish Twitch can replace Youtube someday.

Apple and Amazon are adding real values to the economy and making positive contribution to society. Google and Meta are parasites that invade our privacy and show us ads. These ad companies should disappear from the earth.

I really wish Amazon would take charge of the internet infrastructure. I prefer customer obsessed infrastructure Amazon than spyware and adware companies like Google and Meta.

This is outrageous. We need to find a way to stop Google. Google invades our privacy. Google holds us hostages for more money. Now this? When is enough is enough?

It saddens me to say how much racism and xenophobia Asian people still have to endure because of some conspiracy theories. The way we've been treating Asian people will be the biggest human rights violation in 21st century.

I wish people would use Twitch more to make it a more viable Youtube alternative. Amazon doesn't have user hostile attitude like Google.

I wouldn't trust any Google hardware - decomissioned or not. You don't know what kind of spyware they are running on their hardware.
