@stux An ex of mine actually believed this slogan. Gezus!
@stux @bieberium It was bullshit then too.
@stux Evilness can be subjective.

@stux Wie sagt man so schön: Der zur Hölle ist mit guten Vorsätzen gepflastert.
@stux , one data point that fits here: GEO is the work of making a business findable, correctly described and citable in answers written by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews (Google Search Central: AI features and your website). Are you seeing the same with your clients?
@stux It was "Do No Evil" but later they corrected their spelling to "Do know Evil"
i don't know when google changed its slogan from "don't be evil" to "do the right thing", but that, too, is long in the rearview mirror
@stux
Don‘t think of a pink elephant…
@stux another timeline
@stux de-googling (other than still using Android) was probably the best thing I've done for my privacy in years. I feel so much digitally cleaner.
This was my journey of leaving the main Google services I was using day to day, and what I'm using now. Shame about the recent Proton fiasco, but I'm not sure I'm quite ready to migrate all of that stuff yet. Luckily I put in the effort of using my own domain this time around so moving elsewhere won't be anywhere near as painful!
