• Apple Introduces M4 Chip

  Google operates in China albeit via their HK domain. They also had project DragonFly if you remember. The lesser of two evils is that one company doesn’t try to actively profile me (in order for their ads business to be better) with every piece of data it can find and forces me to share all possible data with them. Google is famously known to kill apps that are good and used by customers:... - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• How I migrated from Firebase to Supabase

  I was already starting to feel a little cornered in the whole Google ecosystem and a bit limited with stuff like backups, vendor lock in, etc. (and you always have the obvious hanging over your head) and ultimately, I think I just find the mental model of a SQL database more intuitive compared to a NoSQL database. So I thought to myself; "the longer I leave it, the harder it'll be to make the switch". - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago

• Google Axion Processors, our new Arm-based CPUs

  Https://killedbygoogle.com/ Their reputation is deserved. Google domains was killed only last year! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Google's Decision to Effectively Kill-off Small Sites

  And this isn't even the first time I've been burned by Google's decisions. If you're familiar at all with the Google Graveyard, you'll know that Google has a long history of killing off products and services that people have come to rely on. This has happened to me a number of times, in both a personal and professional capacity, and frankly it's getting old. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• The end of Google Podcasts is in June if you're not in the US

  > Those who trust the Google’s app to listen to podcasts have almost three months to export their subscriptions to another app. Alternative take: Those who trust any Google app or service to do anything should reconsider, or at the very least keep a permanent and up-to-date contingency plan for when Google inevitably discontinues it. Fooled you once, shame on Google. Fooled you 294 times, shame on you.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Google Scholar PDF Reader

  This will be in the Google Graveyard https://killedbygoogle.com/ by mid-2026. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Calls grow for Sundar Pichai to step down from Google CEO position

  Just because Google has a couple of decent services that you're willing to pay for doesn't detract from the fact that most of their products have a worse life expectancy than a victorian child in the 1800s. https://killedbygoogle.com They ruined every single opportunity to be more than an advertising company since Orkut. With scrapped attempts, starts and lack of intention for most of the 2010s to even during the... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Our Company Is Doing So Well That You're All Fired

  Yeah. The Google Graveyard really shows how far this can go. https://killedbygoogle.com The punchline is that in addition to hundreds of failed hobby projects, their stock is doing great. Monopoly power is a helluva drug. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Gemini Ultra now available in Google Bard

  To me Gemini is just sort of generic and uninteresting. There has to be hundreds or thousands of products and companies based on the name "Gemini" - "Bard" was at least interesting, different and distinct. I've no idea about the quality of the product itself, I have never had a reason to use it. It's long past cliché now but I wouldn't get too attached to a Google product that is definitely costing a lot of money... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• A word of caution about Tailscale

  There really should be a website like this that keeps track of popular & useful "free" things, documents the things they promise, and then tracks the date at which they turn into crap. A bit like https://killedbygoogle.com/, but for the enshittification of cloud services. Source: 5 months ago
