Google search needs to just branch itself off into several micro-search engines. It is useless as a general purpose search engine.
Again, try searching ‘skillet’ and you’ll get more results on the band with the name than the pan itself. Make a media-based micro search engine where it’s nothing but music, movies, shows .etc
But as big as Google is, they won’t do it.
You know, people keep asking what America is going to be like 10, 20 or even 50 years from now.
I’m going to tell you that we’ll have some of the most spottiest blotches of our history. It’ll be rooted from the times and events where extremely aggressive opposers to generally anything intellectual have gone on crusades to undermine anything they think is a huge problem, like scientists.
This will be our Burning of the Library of Alexandria. We’ll just have inconclusive data to our researches because of politically charged people.
NO! I’ve got something better!
We make the ads guilt you into using ad blockers! Then we pepper your active streaming with ADs every 30 seconds! YOU WILL BUY! YOU WILL CONSOOME!
There are people who are hired specifically to pad reviews. They’re easy to spot though. Every 5 star review reads exactly the same even if it’s different wording.
“This app changed my life!”
“I was looking for so long to have an app like this so I’m happy this app exists!”
“This app is so easy to use and install, I don’t understand why people are complaining about it”
If you want true honesty, read some of the 3 star reviews and below.
I cleaned the cache like 2 or 3 days ago. Even then, because of my browsing habit that would’ve made it go to a gig again, ProtonMail still loaded fine.
And not 2 minutes longer after posting this - ProtonMail worked. I don’t know sometimes, I just don’t with these things.
Probably has a future? It’s already here.
I understand that things don’t last forever. But and it sounds selfish to say and maybe people might agree, I’d like for these things to last as long as I’m alive to view them whenever I please.
Though I’m really sick of this god damn hot potato shit with the content that’s spread across several streaming platforms. As well as unstable services. “Oh, we’ve shut this down, fuck your purchases” “Oh, we couldn’t sustain this platform, go elsewhere”.
It means a lot to the customer. Doesn’t mean dick to these services.
Steam really did try with the movies idea, it didn’t last too long though. Licensing is a bitch to maintain.
The image says otherwise, fuckwad. Now shut up and eat the 5 days.
It’s been like this for quite some time now.
And anytime you use a browser, you’ll always be nagged to continue viewing through browser or use their app. It comes up so obnoxiously and I swear it slows you down. They also make the viewing experience subpar unless you use the app.
One would think, that if these sites and anywhere that applies Captcha at all, that if there were puzzles to solve to tell the difference between Bot or Human. That a human would have a likely chance to mess it up, whereas a Bot or AI are designed to do things flawlessly.
I bet the creator of Captcha didn’t have the thought process to think about that.
Curious, I checked out Chris Dodd and wonder what he’s up to. He’s a close advisor now to Biden so I’d imagine he’s whispering in Biden’s ear and whoever will listen, about how much of piracy is ‘bad for ya’. In case anyone forgot, Chris Dodd was a major asshole during his 6 year stint (2011 - 2017) with MPAA and he ultimately failed in stopping piracy.
I don’t think this latest tactic will work. Congress couldn’t even understand Facebook and they couldn’t even hold Mark Zuckerberg of all people, accountable for his shit. Congress, MPAA and all the forces in the world couldn’t stop Kim Dotcom. MPAA, ACE and whatever, still cannot shut down The Pirate Bay.
They’ll just keep bashing their heads on the brick wall. The only victories they’ve gotten in all of the 20+ year decade war on piracy, is that most times, the sites go down because of lack of funding and support. They only take down big sites because they’ve found weak links or they’ve found those run-a-mouth pirates who’ve gotta go around talking shit about pirating to the point where they’re a liability then wonder why their favorite service/site is shut down.

Color me surprised.
I loathe that platforms treat themselves this way. We see this happen over and over again when a newcomer comes into the field to shake things up. They become, eventually, the best alternative. They eventually become the only thing.
And all that they turn out to be, are just portfolio fluffing projects to be made into an IPO. Then the enshittification and oh, there is next to no where to go.
What a world…
Riiiiiight, Linux community is friendlier. I wouldn’t really call them that, though some aspects are. My problem still with the entirety of the Linux community that will always put me off about Linux and rather tolerate Windows more is the elitism. I have used Linux OSes before, I have my fair share of favorites and I see Linux as a go-to whenever I pick up computers too old to bother with Windows 10 and 11 and I just simply want a bare basics machine.
But I cannot in full faith, use Linux as my primary OS. I’ve tried. I can’t do it. There are simply things on Windows that I need and want to use that’ll simply just run and that’s what I want the most is for things to just run. It isn’t because I’m too dumb to use a Linux OS. It’s because I don’t have the patience or time to be weeding through forum posts, deciphering depositories and repositories, figuring out what obscure and vague message the terminal sends me and spending time on Google.
Besides this whole chart doesn’t make a load of sense. Like the whole “you’ll own what you buy”? What does that have to do with D&D and Pathfinder? I don’t get it.
The short answer is yes, but you’ll have to get used to the reality that Nintendo themselves will not be there for you if anything goes wrong down in those 20 years. There will be third-party fixers and a community of people who’ll probably have things made for replacements.
You are far better off using a Switch as opposed to a DS. You can emulate more on a Switch than a DS.
No because this was probably part of their plan to corrode the world.
I’ll just assume the article had nothing worthwhile to read. Thanks for sparing my time!
Which they most likely will, just won’t say anything.
