jesus christ, i just tried to switch to another google account's drive/docs app from gmail and apparently i have to sign out of all my accounts. google has helpfully included a link labelled "why?" but clicking on it only takes me to a page that explains how to sign into accounts.

it used to be "click the cat in the corner of the browser to make a new windows as somebody else" but now instead of a cute cartoon cat it's a box with a name in it and instead of a neat little menu it's a big obnoxious thing

At some point like one or two people served malware from there so Google paniced and shitcanned the whole thing and even their own open sores poo poo says "we've migrated to GitHub" on their code.google.com pages

for some reason github.io doesn't seem to have this problem hrrrrmm (probably because something being hosted at "google.com" carries a bit more authority than github.io but still)

does anyone remember the guy making official-looking clones of the youtube app and vice video app and all that

and they warned him like 2 or 3 times to stop, but he was like "hey i'm just making these apps for my kid, you know, like an easier version of the youtube and vice app for my kid to use"

i wonder if he's still foaming at the mouth about getting banned and thinking google stole his idea lol

the escalation as you read it is great. here's a teaser:

quote:

What is an app? It’s just a container for content. Shouldn’t the app name inform the user of the content? One of my apps contained the channel id for Vice.com. Since the length of the app name is so limited I decided on “Vice TV” It was simple informative and it fit on screen just right. I didn’t think they would mind, I thought I was doing them a favor. Pointing people to their great content. It’s free advertising and I was in no way profiting from using this name. Users loved this app.

I own a software company. If a third party made a free fan app pointing to my products, I would be ecstatic! Who doesn’t want fans and free marketing?

Maybe I’m naive, but I’m trying to create apps and trying to figure out the landscape so I can plan my new business. What works, what doesn’t work. Do people like the app or hate the app. Is it being downloaded. I had no idea what I was doing and needed data.

I was also secretly hoping I would get a contract job out of this or someone might say, “Hey, add my blog and Facebook pages and I’ll buy the app from you.” I’m new to the world of app stores. Call me stupid, I was just trying to figure things out before dumping a bunch of money and time into something that was completely new to me.

i fixed that by adding it to the dictionary. gently caress, loving, ducker... poo poo. :argh:
the one that annoys me is that it never adds suck(s) or (God)drat(ed). I have to put those duckers in manually.

you are correct

it didnt come across in my post but i intended to express that google knew it would be an issue and put an option in there to address it and then in practice it works exactly the way you said with gently caress never being suggested over duck

its the main reason i stick with swype despite its flaws as i like every english speaking person on the planet use the word gently caress about thirty times more often than duck well that and the special kb shortcuts and capitalization trigger in swype are super convenient
