I don’t disagree with you. I’m saying Google’s algorithm is part of the cause not the cure.

Fuck Google

Lemmy oldhead! Nice!

They know exactly what they’re doing. Trump’s base loves this shit. They think they’re clever any time they can get away with expressing racism with any type of even semi-believable deniability.

It sure seems to me like you’re trying really hard to paint me as a racist. You can fuck right off with that bullshit.

Nope. You aren’t getting my point and I don’t feel like explaining it any further.

No matter what he meant, he sounds like he’s trying to paint the people with legitimate gripes about the way he handles the company as the harrassers when he is a huge driver of the problem.

It’s like Republicans complaining about the quality of current public schooling and blaming ‘woke’ policies when they’ve been the ones cutting school funding for decades, and they know it. It’s feigned concern.

Sounds sorta like victim-shaming…

I really can’t wait until Linux phones are stable. So tired of Google’s bullshit and no matter how hard I try I can’t get used to iPhones.

Definitely all search engines are getting worse. They all use one algorithm or another to find results, and advertisers are quick to obtain that algorithm and exploit it.

Yeah that can’t continue. You need to let someone know how bad it’s gotten and that your mother won’t help you; a teacher you trust, etc. Next time, before it escalates very far if possible, call the police.

Yep. They also created giant groups of people who think the saguaro cactus grows in Texas.

This looks like it may be beneficial to the common people of the US. Republicans can’t stand idly by and let that happen. I’ll expect this to go nowhere.

Mayonnaise. Fight me.

Yeah, this is something always in the back of my mind. There’s no way I could replace the one in my car without serious modification. There’s a bunch of shit integrated into it (heat/air controls, safety feature toggles, etc.) and it takes up the entire center of the dashboard.

I don’t have any tips, but I wish I did. My car’s just over a year old and I don’t even like driving it since I found out it’s spying on me all the time. The ‘infotainment’ system is also integrated with everything in the vehicle so turning it off isn’t an option. I really like the car, but I feel like privacy is something that shouldn’t have to be a consideration when buying a vehicle. I’m just about positive there’s not a new vehicle available in the US market without one of these things in it unless you’re buying fleet vehicles.

Why would I want to do the extra work when there are other options available that just don’t store the notes in a db?

Database storage for notes is a non-starter for me.

I don’t support Google’s web takeover so I don’t want to use their browser, open-source or not.

I would definitely use Vivaldi if it wasn’t Chromium-based, but it is so a no-go from me.
