I'm happy to say I'm officially degoogled in my personal life/computer.
I still have legacy accounts with gmail that I can't migrate though.
The only thing I need to drop is my gmail account. Everything else went into the circular file.

I’ve already deleted Google maps. Deleting calendar will be tough.
Just get hosted Nextcloud somewhere and DAVx5.
I’ve never heard if this, but that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
Nextcloud is a massive overkill for caldav. You can use something lightweight like Baikal.

Works a treat.
This was always going to happen. Companies in Germany when Hitler rose to power didn't protest and speak up against him - they needed to sell his army goods. They made his uniforms and cars and didn't say a peep about the extermination of people around them. The companies that spoke up were crushed. A corporation's bottom line is their bottom line, no matter what horrors they need to assist in perpetrating.
The Nazis organized a closed door meeting with the leading German industrialists and told them about their plans to rebuild the German military to take revenge for WW I. They agreed and many of those same asswipes escaped the post war prosecution.
Now these closed meetings happen at MaraLargo

I'm not angry at this point. Just sad.
It's disheartening how quickly everything was washed away.
Google managed to create a very clean image of themselves in most heads, but looking closer it is an ugly profit maximization machine. It cares about shareholders. If it cares about you, then probably for spying on you and learn how to manipulate you and others better. I hope people start realizing finally.
And let's state it clear: Google could have a voice. They could object to the Musk-Thiel-Trumpian destruction machine. They could be there for the world. But they're not. Not at all. They serve the money. And if it pays off, then they are willing to ruin peoples lives.
Google is on the wrong side of history.
Seems like their motto isn’t „don’t be Evil“ anymore for a reason.
Can they even argue they following washed version of "do the right thing"
Well „the right thing“ says nothing. Doing the right thing can be making tons of money, which it apparently also is.
It was limiting them. To truly maximize profits they need to strip off all limits. I'm not joking. Really not. This is why capitalism and fascism go so well together.

Lmao, damn… I was done with them before this announcement but thanks for reinforcing my decision.
They also removed Holocaust Remembrance Day. Probably because it's going to have to be renamed Holocaust I soon.
Wow Google's licking boot like there's no tomorrow.
Fucking shameful.
