I use DuckDuckGo but say Google for this exact reason. If Iâm talking to someone I actually like I usually elaborate to say âGoogle isnât the search engine I actually use because itâs sus, but you know what I meanâ
Do people not know how to say âthis is my email addressâ anymore?

as som have mentioned. I call email, email. And I call video conferencing video conferencing and would say hop on a conference call or just call. I mean many people dial in. Video is just standard now but they used to be done with just phones. I usually say the message app used as at a workplace its whatever they use. Open some windows is talking about gui windows not ms windows. I donât get the alternative thing at all. Its like that thing with ms not being able to trademark windows because windows is a common word. you say windows donât let ms own that trump. I do say google sometimes for search and that is bad but I often say search or look it up. I just need to stop saying google sometimes.

Iâm pretty sure that in this specific context, itâs actually referring to the physical windows that you would crack to let in some fresh air. Iâm also pretty sure that this post was a joke, LOL.

What the fuck is wrong with just saying email? Itâs been around for decades.
If someone said to me âCould you crack a Linuxâ I would walk away slowly and avoid eye contact.
Instead, lets simplify: Search, Message, Email, Video Call⌠wtf is the last one

I could really go for some ice cold Linux right now.
My issue with Protonmail is that, last I checked years ago, I couldnât set up email forwarding or a local client without paying for an upgrade. So thereâs a soft form of lock-in to prevent changing providers.

Yes, all his musings about Trump cracking down on Google aged like fine milk. Everyone who paid attention knew this though. He should keep his mouth shut about politics and do his company a favor
Say:"An open source Android (AOSP)-based operating system such asLineageOS for microGor other similar FOSS projects that fully circumvent Google Play Services."
You know, like a normal person.

but if enough people use google as a general verb, the word will stop being owned by alphabet (from my understanding)
This reeks of adults trying to explain to other adults about âinternet speakâ and should have stayed in whichever marketing fools addled brain it came from
I just say âI did a searchâ instead of âI googled itâ nowadays, mostly because I donât like lying.

Picking another corporation to base your language around isnât better. Why not refer to the general privacy concepts that corporation claims to have?

Proton advertisement.
Yeah, language doesnât work like that.
Gotta go home and crack a few linuxes
Linuces
Silly me, I forgot the grammatical plural of Linux. Damn it.
Not Linuxi?
Linuxen.
Apparently Linuces is Latin for multiple Torvaldsâs
Linopodes
Hello fellow linuxahoic
Donât forget to pop some kernels when youâre done.
Its been so hard to stop saying google it but im getting there, they really got us good with their branding brain worm
âCould you DuckDuckGo that for me?â just doesnât work the same.
âHey, can you Duck around and find out?â
That really needs to be their next PR campaign.
At the same time, Google hates people using their name generically for web searching because it risks them losing the trademark.
So I guess I am conflicted, because I hate to acknowledge Google more than I need to, but would love to see the term become meaningless.
I use DuckDuckGo but say Google for this exact reason. If Iâm talking to someone I actually like I usually elaborate to say âGoogle isnât the search engine I actually use because itâs sus, but you know what I meanâ
Pretty sure âto googleâ means to search for something and get nothing but ads, bad answers, and frustration now. Dunno why anyone would want that.
Or maybe it means âto create a cool product then kill it while itâs still popular.â
Luckily I find it pretty easy to avoid using brand names and just use the plain old verb.
Search it for me. Look it up. Message me. Send it to me, Iâll send this back to you. Set up a call, a meeting, a video call.
Proton Meet? lol
Cups and string ftw
installing apps instead of sIdEloADing please
Hush! Behave you subversive element! Only evil people wonât use official appstores!
Using snap or Flatpack?
fuck snaps, flatpak is my bae.
make installThis is a joke⌠right? Right?
Has to beâŚright?
I mean if youâre not serious enough, sure /jk
Judging by the last part⌠yeah. But also, there is something to it.

It would be safer if we discussed.this using encryption:

Oh, sorry, I lost that with my bitcoin wallet in 2011 when my hard drive crashed âšď¸
Yes. Public Forum conversations should be encrypted so the AI scrapping bots donât analyse them
Do we trust proton mail? Is tutamail a better alternative?

hehe, yikes
between Proton moving operations and its CEO being a MAGA (or at least a Trump sycophant), the advice to adopt Proton has really curdled recently
Yes, all his musings about Trump cracking down on Google aged like fine milk. Everyone who paid attention knew this though. He should keep his mouth shut about politics and do his company a favor
The linux is already open
Instead of: âAndroid.â
Say: "An open source Android (AOSP)-based operating system such as LineageOS for microG or other similar FOSS projects that fully circumvent Google Play Services."
