Well, it was Jack Welch who started the braindead "line goes up" trend of making their share price raise by any means, usually layoffs. Before him, people still had jobs for life and were somwhat looked after by their employers. Behind the bastards podcast did a good episode on him.

We have Jack Welch to thank for this trend. It wasn't always that way.

Hadn't it already massively dropped in value before the purchase was finalized, and that's why he wanted to back out? How is everybody overlooking that?

I could never find any that worked well, and the translations in chrome were too good.

This is a game changer for me. I always loved Firefox and tried to use it exclusively, but living in a foreign country is hard when you're learning the language, and I had to switch to chrome sometimes due to the lack of translation in Firefox. Now I can finally remove Chrome!

It's more the principal that Google doesn't care about their ecosystem or users. There would be uproar if Apple killed their podcasts app, since it has been around for so long. But Android users are just used to this shit now.

What an awesome app. Really, it's unusual to see an open source app be so polished. Thanks for the recommendation.

This is why Google will forever be behind Apple. Any app that can't be monetised gets killed. Why give Android users a stable ecosystem after all? Fuck the users. Google fucking sucks.

Exactly. Though usually once somebody does, that's when the authorities get involved.

Good. There are people out there who ruin all the nice things. Just host your own damn server and download your own content like a normal person.

What's wrong with Firefox?
