I used to give Google money for services (Drive and YouTube), but I’ve already stopped doing that because of their evil ways. This just hammers it home that much more.
Edit: The shitty part is what a cool company it used to be. And to watch it destroy itself like this is just sad.
Might get there. Right now I just have external SSH access (key only) to get to the files. I also need an offsite, so it’s all sent to a remote server with rsync and gocryptfs. I only have about 90 GB of stuff on there right now; I don’t do any media serving.
This is my biggest complaint. They were the best way to access the sum of all human knowledge. Now I NEVER find things relevant to my search, just things that can be sold to me. Things like the “-“ character no longer work. I still get the excluded term in top results. It garbage now and everyone at google is to blame not just the executives.
