#killedByGoogle less than a day after its launch.

waiting until #killedbygoogle gets flooded with AI-related bullshit when the #AIbubble pops.

Here's an app I'm going to lose because of Google's policy. If you still want to enjoy it, see https://keepandroidopen.org

@Tom @Binder … Or they were betting the product would be #killedByGoogle before anyone had time to request an RMA

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT #TENOR WAS OWNED BY #GOOGLE, HELLO????

Wer auf bigtech / kommerzielle Angebote setzt, muss damit rechnen, daß Produkte ersatzlos abgekündigt werden, teurer, von anderen übernommen (und eingestampft). Manchmal verliert man Lizenzen, alle Daten, oft genug werden Geräte funktionslos .

Darüber gibt es sogar Sammlungen, wie #killedbygoogle #MicrosoftGraveyard oder #microsoftkilllist

Bieten Quasi-Monopolisten untereinander Schnitstellen, ist das "Desaster" nur eine Frage der Zeit.

And the sad news is :neofox_sad: : #Gmail took the oportunity to warn me that they are removing the POP3 connection system anyway this year.

But there is no good alternative if you want to stay on GMail as forwarding mail there doesn't work at all (I tried for years)

So maybe i'll need to self host but sending mail is actually the problem if I do that, not receiving... that protocol is clearly broken.

the End-to-End encryption using RCS on Android was just fine until Google changed the "aesthetics" of their messaging app so at-a-glance message delivery disappeared. #KilledByGoogle

(engineers at Google have no sense of usability OR elegant design ... their form over function is neither)

Migrate GIF Search Provider from #Tenor to #Giphy and or #Klipy.

🌀 After 25 Years, Google Has Finally Killed Dreamcast Web Browser Support

｢ Google has discontinued support for the Dreamcast's PlanetWeb 3.0 web browser.

While Sega shut down Dreamcast's servers many years ago, resourceful fans have been getting consoles online for some time now – and even creating private servers for many of the machine's games in the process ｣

*I'd be mildly alarmed by Vision-Language-Action AI if it wasn't being built by Google, who will promptly strangle any Google initiative that doesn't buy yachts for its shareholders #KilledByGoogle

#Mozilla ferme encore plus de services.
Suppression de ses services Pocket "cessera de fonctionner le 8 juillet 2025." et Fakespot "également en fin de vie".
Pour Deep Fake Detector, ce sera pour le 26 juin 2025.

Cool story. It would be nice if we could see more of this in IT instead of being #killedbygoogle etc.

I hate Google. I hate them so much. I really, really do.

Not sure if this counts as a #killedbygoogle but they have just emailed a notice that Gen 1 and Gen 2 Nest thermostats will be no longer supported, including by Google Home.

Grrr.

Google discontinues Nest Protect smoke alarm and Nest x Yale door lock

In a post on its Nest community forum, Google says it made the decision to ditch its popular smoke alarm and door lock as part of its move toward “building a platform that all device makers and developers can use to spur innovation in the home.” The company added that as the smart home evolves, it “must continue to refine our portfolio of devices to meet the needs of our customers.”

You will take my Fitbit from my cold, dead hands.

I wore my first one for 5 years. This most recent one, I'm dead set on wearing until it breaks. I'm scared that there'll never be another device like it, and it'll be #KilledByGoogle. #SmartWatches
