I can't say if it was bad sarcasm or plain stupidity, but I for one understood and totally agree with your first statement.

They also removed Holocaust Remembrance Day. Probably because it's going to have to be renamed Holocaust I soon.

I have had reasonable experiences with startpage as a search engine.

DDG uses Bing primarily.

Yeah, it's essentially a weathervane or thermometer. You can indicate the state of a country by it.
At this point the US has joined the ranks of, well, grim theocracies. Not that the people at the top in the US worship anything but Mammon.

Lmao, damn… I was done with them before this announcement but thanks for reinforcing my decision.

My apologies, I'm never quite good at tones, even in person. Thank you for responding nicely!

Right. If you react to this news with disappointment, and believe me I'm disappointed, maybe it's more a wake up call the support was never real to begin with. I feel we're better off without such hollow gestures. Then again I'm not a part of a marginalized group and maybe it's not that black and white.

"Do you remember a time when women couldn't vote and certain people weren't allowed on golf courses? Petridge Farm remembers. It was back in 2025."

They didn't. They moved it from the foreword to the final line.
To be clear, Google is absolutely evil, and the unofficial motto was always worthless. I am just annoyed everyone ate the clickbait reporting about something that never happened and is repeating it to this day. I guess "Google moved Don't be evil Clause to a less prominent spot" doesn't click as well.

I had a management class years ago in college where the professor made the argument that in order to be ethical, every single action a business makes must be done to increase profits for its shareholders.
Charitable donation? Only if it increases public perception in a way to be justified the cost.
Pay your employees well? Only if paying them less would cause you to lose them to your competitors.
The list goes on. It's a very depressing way to look at the world. But as time goes by, I've realized just how accurate that professor was. Companies don't give a shit about you and will turn on you the second it makes their quarterly numbers look better.
