Hey /g/ how screwed would you be if google shut down all

No email so I wouldn't be screwed at all.

>>60495215
>no captcha
welp

i'll have to go back to using my ISPs DNS.
that's it.

I only use Gmail for stuff that I wouldn't use my real email account (GMX) for.

It's basically just above throwaway tier.

That's about it.

>>60495215
I'd be pissed that my apps on the play store got taken down, but on the bright side I wouldn't have to support them anymore with no Gmail account

I really have to migrate away from GMail huh...

I'd lose my casual email address but that's about it.
Oh and captcha, and internet searching.
That's about it.

No Google analytics, no location services, no gboard, no Chrome botnet, no Google mass surveillance.

Actually sounds pretty good.

>>60495309
>no Google mass surveillance
Dont worry you'll still be watched

>>60495719
I can be my own. Just buy a domain name and rent a VPS.

-I use gmail a a secondary account so not a big issue
-I follow a lot of youtube channels so that would be a bit of an issue
-We sync our calendars with google at work. That would be the only real issue

I don't use any other google service and I'm looking forward to using android without gapps soon

>>60495775
Thank you for having the best reply of the day.

>>60495215
Pretty screwed.

The loss of Google Search will basically shut down 30%-80% of everything. Maps will shut down maybe 20%. Google Play down so 90% of Android phones are dead. Lots of companies use Google Apps so they'll all be screwed. Lots of schools use ChromeOS, they'll all be screwed too.

A lot of people use Google DNS, to avoid shitty ISP DNS or government censorship. They're all screwed.

Any websites using App Engine or Google Storage, all down.

Google Sites, all down.

Google Translate, down. Lots of tourists and tourism businesses screwed.

Google Drive, down. More businesses affected probably.

Unless you live on an island, grow all of your food, and don't use the Internet, you will feel the impact pretty strongly.

>>60495937
>A lot of people use Google DNS, to avoid shitty ISP DNS or government censorship. They're all screwed.
there's dozens of DNS freely available to use
8.8.8.8 isn't even google's ip, level3 is just letting them use it as one of the easiest to remember ips
level3 would just change it to whoever else is reliable

>>60495215
I wouldn't be able to finish watching the meme playlist. Otherwise, not much. Sucks being stuck on Android N though.

Why would you route your traffic through their botnet DNS servers

>>60495215
It wouldn't really affect me.

No captcha would affect me the most.
I would have to switch from startpage to ixquick/duckduckgo/qwant/searx
Sometimes I use their similar-image search if tineye returns no results.

i think that's it

Very

Apart from my main email, couldn't continue building my web app for which I use firebase. Have been learning that shit for about a year now and would have to start learning another platform from scratch.

Also no youtube would suck since I spend a lot of my free time there

>>60495937
there are better non botnet alternatives to everything you listed.

>>60495240
>Not using legacy captcha

I would switch from StartPage to Searx

>>60495215
Well YouTube would suck, not getting my catvideo fix but archive.org would fill up with those quickly enough I guess. Other than that, I don't even have an account at them so I wouldn't lose shit.

>>60500952
how does Searx work ?

>>60495215
Startpage would break and that'd be pretty annoying. I block all of Google IPs (even Youtube and with the exception of Recaptcha) in hosts so I wouldn't miss much.

Not very because that'll mean shit's down for everyone. Can't be personally blamed for anything at that point.

>>60501029
I'm not seeing it.

>>60500926
That's Google too, dumbass

>>60500968
Searx searches using many different engines.. Go to searx.me or .ch and go to settings

I'd miss my youtube vids, but could live without.

-calendar syncing is done with git/remind/radicale (self hosted) server
-contacts are stored in radicale (self hosted)
-IM is done with conversations/gajim/ self hosted prosody server
-email is sendmail/procmail (oldfag) on ubuntu vps

It would take a a while to recover, though I do have all my info saved elsewhere so I would recover eventually.

>>60499701
Can you list them please?

Just fine. Home hosted mail and nextcloud. Don't use Android botnet. Plenty of other search engines out there.

>>60501897

OP says "google shut down all services tomorrow", not "google blocked just you from their services"

>>60495215
I'd be fine. I only have a few things tied to gmail, which could be changed in a matter of minutes. I also keep alternative copies of anything hosted on a google service.
The thing that would suck most is losing youtube. While there is a lot of garbage on it, in my experience it still has the widest variety of any niche or obscure content I may look for.

>>60495215
I use yandex for everything, I would be fine myself. My workplace wouldn't be fine, but whatever.

Pretty screwed

>>60495215
And nothing of value was lost.

>>60495253
>GMX
please switch to something else, for your own sake

GMX (free tier?) is terrible

>no Youtube
>no Google Search

I would probably lose my job and then lose my mind because what else do I do all day

>>60495215
Only 25% screwed but I'm making efforts to shave that down to around 10%.

Let's see, I don't use any major google services excluding JewTube so I'd be fine, in fact, the internet would become a much better place as all google botnet and tracking would finally die.

>>60495215
I'd be happy, we would get a ton of alteratives to each of the different services and maybe even actual competition if the other companies don't manage to instantly ruin everything.

>>60495215

>Google Photos all synced locally via Drive
>Latest Google Takeout copy is three months old

I'd be fine. Also, my ability to do this is why I use Google over all other providers.

>>60501961
Then a lot of people are faggots who won't get my business. Funny thing how the free market works.

Not much.

>>60511133

listen here you smug fucks.

>no www
you are retarded to think that. there are many other dns services which i already use, and other people uses isp dns by default so as soon as isp changes their default they would be good.

other than that google analytics would be fucked --which affects no one--
and sites that cache their fonts through google fonts would have to live with my system default font until they fix it

>no search engine
>calling others /v/fags when using google search

>no android
fuck people that uses googled android.
also applications that require google services would update themselves in a heartbeat and spam their users with sms's containing update links.(since gmail and gplay would be gone)

android would not stop working just because it couldnt reach the google servers.


only thing that will matter would be hospitals and other state agency that uses google docs or whatever. their local files would stay and they would recover, but basically they would go out of business for couple days.

TL;DR : NOTHING OF A VALUE WOULD BE LOST

except some stock brokers jumping off s/e

Not screwed at all.

I have alternatives to most of the things people find neat which doesn't require much infrastructure.
I could probably make decent money helping people set up their own cloud infrastructure so whatever reason google failed wouldn't affect them.

I find it kinda sad this haven't happened already.
Gnu/Linux has truly failed on the server market the last couple of years.

I'd personally be very happy.
Google have fucking ruined the web.
They started off good, but now they are scummy as fuck.
Ever since they killed off Google Labs, everything went downhill in the company.
Loads of people left the company to start their own around those days.

The only thing I would miss to any extent would be Youtube.
And that would be mainly for the educational channels. Luckily I am a stalker-ish cunt and have all of their alternative contact details.
Music creators too, but again, most of them have alternative contacts.
Gmail, would need to re-register some shit. Might lose some accounts that send verification to Google. (mind you, the sudden death would likely make them change their verification policy for a short period)
That's it. Everything else from Google is shit.
