Google software was never great. It always was buggy, laggy and with horrendous UI.

GMail and GReader were great and way ahead of the other players.

Closing GReader was what radicalized me against Google.

RIP Inbox, we'll never forget you 😭

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, it was Inbox for me. Fuckers.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Same. The only email interface I could use to actually keep up with my email, dragged out back and murdered, and all the promises of them bringing the features that made Inbox great back to Gmail were broken (or rather, what they considered the key features had nothing to do with what make Inbox good)

The hate you had for them was made recent. I, I was full of the hatred from the early times. I have carried the hate for an age now, and it has crystallised into a rage that will never be sated.

Google Music was great. Stream my collection without any legwork other than uploading? Thank you! But fuck off for killing it.

Well I can thank them now. If the never killed it then Music Assistant would probably never happened. Geeks wanna stream our collection.

If you've got the patience, this is yet another overly complicated music player:

This one too

"But YouTube Music..." no. YouTube Music sucks by comparison, can't see how to upload anything new, a sizeable chunk of music I used to listen to wasn't licensed for YouTube Music like it was for Play Music, the interface blows and is constantly moving shit around so I have to find things again and again, and it can't figure out that it's for music and not video
