      They had a really amazing search algorithm that they used to make ad revenue and then made a bunch of stuff because the engineers were bored.

      Eric Schmidt was amazing as CEO. Then he left and Page took over. He was okay, but nothing great. Then Pichai took over. He is an absolute douchenozzle and is basically there to just make as much money as possible all while trashing everything that made Google great. Google search sucks nowadays, YouTube is overrun with ads, and nothing interesting at all has happened with Android in a long time.

          Seriously? I admit I use it, but how can you love it? I often feel violated using it. Google has its tendrils dug so deep into every aspect of it, I feel dirty using it.

            I love it from a technical perspective from its runtime to its permissions model. I don’t specifically care for Google. I’m enthused from an OS design perspective.
