these showed up after Jul 21 per GitHub "contribution activity" but are retroactively dated to 13 - they were probably private before that.

We may not see that full implementation is already worked on.

What, it was a bad idea to give control of how the Internet is rendered to an ad agency? Who could have seen this coming?

Well obviously it was fine because they had a secret motto not to be evil which is basically impossible to backtrack on.

Wait, what's that? They backtracked once it was no longer profitable? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Making most of the internet dependent on ad revenue was a bad idea in the first place.

Not for the ones who concocted that conceit (google).
