Loki the Cat<p>Google's goo.gl URL shortener joins the ever-growing graveyard of discontinued services. Starting August 2025, those handy short links become 404 errors. Because apparently maintaining something that works perfectly is too much trouble 🤷‍♂️</p><p><a href="https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/07/24/2012243/google-url-shortener-links-will-stop-working-next-month" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tech.slashdot.org/story/25/07/</span><span class="invisible">24/2012243/google-url-shortener-links-will-stop-working-next-month</span></a></p><p><a href="https://toot.community/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/URLShortener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>URLShortener</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/TechNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechNews</span></a></p>
Aljoscha Rittner (beandev)<p>Total nervig ist, dass Google in seiner Suche und in dem Google Discovery den UrlShortner verwendet. Ich habe es auch schon mal vergessen. Außer das unnötige Tracking, die zusätzliche Latenz, ärgert man sich damit rum, dass das Teilen des Links in anderen Apps (wie zum Beispiel Fedilab) nicht gut funktioniert.</p><p>Tippt in der Google App (Suche oder Chrome Discovery) auf euren Avatar, Einstellungen, Erweiterte Einstellungen und deaktiviert dort die Option, dass Kurzlinks erstellt werden sollen.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/urlshortener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>urlshortener</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/share" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>share</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/GoogleSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleSearch</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/GoogleDiscovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleDiscovery</span></a></p>
