I’ve already deleted Google maps. Deleting calendar will be tough.

Honestly I wish they had a setting for only federal holidays. The ones where banks close.

I also want to be able to switch back to general holidays too though. These people at google are chicken shit cowards.

It’s a shame, but fuck Google regardless of this :)

Just shows that companies show their support to please the people in power and that’s just []-washing

Opinions are still divided on whether companies should have a political opinion

Sooooo.

Any recommendations on a replacement for Google calendar?

I've got shot of maps with that Gulf of Mexico business. The search engine due to ads, the mail client for the same reasons (still using the mail address but Fairmail as a client).

I don't understand why was this ever a thing. Fuck google, and fuck rainbow washing. They never really cared, and where just taking advantage of a noble cause.
