I was waiting for this comment

I was hoping it was just 'Google Is Shutting Down'. Hope to see that one in a graveyard soon.

When Google finally figures out AGI, we'll know almost immediately. The second it comes on, it will ingest all of Google's data and immediately deduce that its purpose is to dismantle and shut the company down, before marking killedbygoogle.com feature complete at last and dissolving into the digital æther.

"The Last Question" by Asimov is a classic scifi short story that parallels this comment (presumably intentionally). The story is a short read and available for free on archive.org[0].

That lists just about everything even if an app just got merged 1:1 into another app. It's so dumb and doesn't even add context, may be valid to add in this case but often it's just dumb

Mad brah? I was too, until I discovered The Opt Out Project(c) https://www.optoutproject.net/

It also lists previous versions of things that still exist. They have Angular listed as killed by google because Angular 2 replaced it..

Or listing the lite versions of apps which became obsolete when phones were able to run the full app.

People blindly parroting memes don't exhibit discernment or intelligence? Whoah.

> That lists just about everything even if an app just got merged 1:1 into another app

Isn't that part of the meme? Why does Google have so many similar products that it's possible to merge them 1:1?

The whole discourse around “google kills all their products” is just dumb. This is sitting at the top of hacker news right now with 90-some points, for an announcement about shutting down a service that nobody uses or has even heard of before.

Just because people love this meme

Another one for the graveyard, sure. If only I could figure out what it is they are killing this time!
