google’s latest fuckery: if you write online, read this

The Google app for iOS now adds THEIR links to YOUR posts from YOUR website unless you opt-out.

Their links lead people away from your site and back to Google. Because that’s definitely what you want, right? That’s why you have a blog or portal or web site or whatever. You want people to leave your site and go back to Google.

Oh, it’s not?

If you don’t like it, you can “Opt out.” Opting out is a pain in the ass. Here’s where you go to do it. You have to enter every variation of each of your domains or it won’t work. It will take up to 30 days, during which time Google will continue to pollute your work and your writing and your website with their modifications and their added links to take people away from your site and back to themselves.

For example, here’s the list of what I need to opt-out just for this one blog:

solarbird.nethttp://solarbird.nethttps://solarbird.netwww.solarbird.nethttp://www.solarbird.nethttps://www.solarbird.netweb.solarbird.nethttp://web.solarbird.nethttps://web.solarbird.net

Yes, you explicitly have to file no prefix, http:, and https: variants separately. They say so.

Making it difficult like this is 100% intentional and entirely designed to make it as annoying as possible, and also, to make sure you slip up if at all possible and forget one or more combinations.

(Tho’ I am just going to depreciate web. as a prefix right now, to bring down the load a little. Still gonna list ’em, though, because spite is why.)

Right now it’s only in the Google app for iOS and it’s probably a test to see whether they can get away with it without complaint, and how much revenue it generates. Let’s make that a combination of no and as close to zero as possible. Because otherwise they’ll roll it out everywhere, and probably derank you if you don’t go along.

Fucking hell, Google. Fuck you. Just… fuck you.

Goal met for November thanks to a kind soul this evening. I'll be donating plasma this week to help offset things this month. I don't really want to, but I need the money. Thank you to everyone that boosted and donated

With Small Business Saturday winding down, I'd like to remind everyone that tomorrow is Megacorporation Sunday! Mark the occasion by opening an account at Chase Bank, buying gas at a BP station, or purchasing some Office 365 licenses from Microsoft! Keep celebrating throughout the year and forever whether you want to or not

The New York Times is giving a murder their “both-sides” treatment. What the hell is the matter with you?!? Someone kills a person with their car, and your reaction is to be like, “Some people think murder is bad, but others don’t like bike lanes, so 🤷‍♂️.”

i steal jokes from white women and say them louder. when a man does it, that's misogyny. but when i do it, that's reparations baby

Be prepared for the slew of disinformation on Syria coming from "leftists", people who know nothing about the country & those who use the same geopolitcal lens to view every event.
We never faced solidarity with our struggle for liberation - we were either slandered or ignored

this is so romantic

no satire: #surveillance reality

Asking people if they'd like to be milked, and when they say yes, I grin and bring out the water and giant blender.
