Thanks (for nothing), Google, for adding a distracting @ sign next to my cursor in every doc I'm writing -- and giving me no way to turn off a feature that I never, ever wanted.
I don't know why I'm still surprised by the sheer arrogance of the tech industry. But I am.
Screenshot, attached, shows the annoying thing that Google has imposed on Docs users with no way to turn it off.
@dangillmor Thankfully, it’s not the tech industry.
There are plenty of awesome indie developers, who craft thoughtfully designed products that are often on par, or way better, than what big tech — such as, well, Google — have to offer.
I actually find it surprising — and no offense meant here, Dan — how many people rightfully complain about the user-hostile decisions by a small group of ultra-wealthy companies. And then just stick with those products, anyway. 🤔
@dangillmor Pretty sure this just means you're viewing the same doc in multiple windows/tabs/computers. The @ thing is to see where different users are when they modify the same docs.
