• Google engineer confronts Google director for Project Nimbus

  > What a shitty culture Google has fostered. If you're ever curious how exactly Google shoved unethical technologies on employees that didn't want to develop unethical technologies, I highly recommend reading Goomics, comics made internally by a Google employee who left the company in 2021. It reveals how there had been employee protest against developing tech for the military purposes, as well as protest against... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• wireless charging it's literally unusable

  The more we learn about the current corporate culture of Google, the easier it is to understand why things are the way they are. We know now that launching products, no matter how redundant, is what gets you promoted, not fixing bugs in existing products. We also know that there are teams that support mission-critical portions of Android that are deeply under-resourced, primarily because there's no incentive to... Source: over 1 year ago

• Google CEO calls for a more “focused” and “efficient” Google

  > From the outside, a major source of Google's inefficiency seems to be an endless cycle of product churn and duplication, with the worst example being the 10-plus messaging apps Google has produced since Pichai took over in 2015. Our best insight into Google office politics comes from a series of previously internal-only Google comics [1] by Manu Cornet, which frequently describe launching a new product at... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• The Birth of a Monopoly

  Google is a company that was always super profitable, but only became evil around 2010-2015. As reflected by Goomics. Source: about 2 years ago

• Google engineer who criticized company in viral comics on why he finally quit

  As mentioned in the article, they're available on https://goomics.net/ Super cute comics, though there's a lot of references to internal Google culture or figures that I had to look up at times to get the joke. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Unlimited list?

  Not that I know of. I basically browse between the Comixology Unlimited and Comixology Original tabs on the comixology.com website. There's several prebuilt filters within each tab. Source: 12 months ago

• Marvel App Being Shutdown. Purchases will be transferred to Marvel Unlimited app.

  The Marvel app is the only app being closed. Comixology and Kindle apps will remain. The FAQ states you do not need unlimited to access your previously purchased content. Buying more books can still be done on Comixology on Amazon. Source: about 1 year ago

• Comixology Glitch

  Have you tried managing your library via the desktop web site and returning a few books there to see if it helps? (I think that embedded link is global, but if it isn't, go to comixology.com, then "My Account", then "Manage your library"). The books you've borrowed should have a button labeled something like "Return this book" to take it out of your account. Do that for a few of them, especially the ones you... Source: over 1 year ago

• New to comics. Is the state of everything a good time to join?

  There's no requirement to "join" to use comixology. It is simply a platform by which you can read the books that you purchase through comixology. Its fit for you is completely dependent on the selection of books offered in the catalog. Now there is a subscription service called "Comixology Unlimited" which allows you to read for free (note read not own; think like a library loan) a selection of the catalog that...

• I absolutely HATE the integration with Kindle. Who asked for this?

  I do recommend using the comixology app to read and use comixology.com for shopping and purchase. I know these are just wallpaper to kindle and amazon, but I just find the compartmentalization easier to manage, especially at the start. If you read text books on kindle you will probably have to select the filter in the library to show only books and not comic books and manga. Source: over 1 year ago
