Google Browser disaapointment


DeeDee

Recommended Posts

I'm sure most of you are used to the almost constantly changing Google browser celebrating events and people throughout the year, but I have to say I was really disappointed with them this morning when I logged on.

They are "honouring" Transgender Awareness Week, but if your Chrome browser is not maximised the chances are you will not see the celebratory link because it is tiny and hidden at the very bottom of the screen.

They could so easily have just had the trans colours across the Goggle banner with the link in there and this would have been a great chance to raise awareness, but it feels like they are putting the smallest, least noticeable effort into something they can claim as being positive at a future date.. :(

I just loaded my desktop to take a quick look. Depending on your settings, it could look small I guess. I saw it right off the bat but they could’ve added some of those colors to their logo. Some promotion of awareness is better than none but it’s not going to change the world...that’s for sure.

 

Here’s what I saw...

My desktop has it like this Susan, and I have not customised my browser other than my colour theme, but I seem to have frequently used shortcut icons in mine.

Totally underwhelming!

Yeah, mine too. I didn't notice until @DeeDeepointed it out to me with this post. As much as Google does event art, I don't think it would have killed them to at least make the Google logo into something trans-colored and pretty.

 

Hugs!

I hope they do something this week. The weird and insignificant things I've seen them change up their logo for have made me think they celebrate any old made up thing. Then to just have a tiny flag and link for Transgender Awareness Week? Extremely disappointing and concerning.

      I came up with a new strategy.  Replace the good 2 year old car we bought used with something that suits me. New or used but has to suit me this time and I’ll hang on to the old ford as long as it starts and runs for going to work when wife needs @ car.  Oh and yes she could drive the ford too, she’s done it many times in the past.  Movable pedals and seat combine to get here where she needs to be.  Now I just have to sell her on that idea.     now starts the search all over again but I can double my top range!

      Sup singly, a superintendent prevented a student within the transgender community from changing current name, to the new name in which the student identifies with, I don't know how far back this story goes, but if you Google it under Oklahoma along with "student name change" the article should pop up. I'm not transgender, but I can relate to the process of legally getting a name change done, it's a lot of paperwork from court, a lot of traveling, and expenses depending on the laws from each state.

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      Had one like that one time that would bite you on occasion.  Got rid of that thing quickly.

      I have been told that I "pass" better than I realize. I hope that is true.

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)
