A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This product was also sold, not deleted. So to be a bit pedantic, it doesn't belong there. People are acting like this has died entirely or they aren't able to transfer their domains. It's not the end of the world.
But I guess people can feel good posting "Don't be evil I guess" over and over again (as has been posted in all the threads about this numerous times) or being all snooty about how they've "warned people forever" not to use any Google service ever.
People aren't lamenting losing their domains, they're upset about losing the service. It doesn't make a difference if it was killed or sold here because in the end the thing people liked is going away.
