content: image of google “moderating” (i.e. eliminating, permanently, without apparent recourse) an entry in a user’s URL collection/bookmarks. the entry is for kickasstorrents. (archive)

I recall seeing an example of them doing something like this to people’s gdocs stuff (and iirc that was on paid account, but I could be misremembering). seems like they’re ramping up the where to more coverage of their services/assets

      I finally got all of my personal devices switched over the other day, so far not missing anything. Just need a password manager and then maybe email accounts.

    it was more fun when padding on a div was included in the absolute width on one browser and added to the absolute width on another.

      yeah, I’m familiar with the mechanism, but it’s still google fucking with user data under the “well, it’s stored on our servers” excuse

      I should see if I can find that one where goog was killing someone’s stuff in their gdocs for the same reason

      yeah! I fucking love when a corporation decides to “help” me without my prior consent and with no ability to reverse their stupid decision afterward either

        a hellmark of so many the sfba hyperscale shitters is the intentional lack of a support department (again often paired with “visit our community forums”, which I guess is a useful datapoint for inclusion in elsethread @self?)

      Google might be “helping” in this instance, but the fact that they even can is disturbing. They shouldn’t be snooping on your bookmarks list, period.
