To my shame, I'm still deeply ingrained in the Google ecosystem. I settled on it like 8-10 years ago and I'm not sure how to dig myself out of this pit. More than Chrome, I heavily use Docs, Sheets, Drive, Wallet, YouTube, Gmail, I even have a Pixel (I hate how bloated Samsung is).

I've used Firefox a little for work because of the nice containers feature. Is Google Drive bad too? It's so easy to share things, I torrent a lot of books and I've shared with a bunch of friends, idk if there's an alternative that others could easily use.

At least it's drawn to scale, but yeah I get it. Starting at 7k probably makes it easier to read.

[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds? (lemmy.world)

Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, "Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?" The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Robert Downey Jr. with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, "What's that?" The third...

People have lost trademark rights because it's too ubiquitous.

Aspirin was literally the brand name by Bayer but lost it.

People who had you listed will just see "Deleted Account" instead of your name, and a little ghost as your avatar.

They will still see your chat history though.

I might be a moron, but how can a business be down in revenue but up in profit?

Edit: confirmed moron. Their expenses were just that much lower.

Phone numbers actually can be an identity, but generally that's just business numbers. There's also a lot of phone numbers that aren't cell phones and can't get texts. It's a lot easier and cheaper for companies to design one system. Depending on the company, they'll still do text/email reminders for things. Old people like phone calls, so companies need to know their audience too. Again, cheaper to build a single system, so that tends to be the default.
