EDIT: hi FOSS evangelists, we're already on fucking Mastodon. This is like walking up to someone in church who's wearing a white collar and asking if they've heard of Jesus.

unfuck google drive by shooting gemini

Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again!

Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever?

Open your gdrive (web OR app)
Settings > Manage Apps

Gemini was checked "use as default” (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)

Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second. — digitaldiscipline unfuck google drive by shooting gemini Hey folks!

@davidgerard Folks, you can't fix stupid. Take your data to a local solution under your personal control, and shove all that Google cloud crap where the sun don't shine.

Every action remaining within the Google universe will be futile. Don't be evil!

@davidgerard Thanks for the warning. Never used it, and now I'm super extra convinced never to ever try it either.
