Man, that was a very thorough write up! I was familiar with the DND shit but not the Magic stuff. Was a sad read, but glad to know about it.
Perhaps. But it's almost guaranteed that some sort of worker exploitation was involved.
Microsoft's search engine is nowhere near as good as Google's.
I don't know... Googles search was clearly better five years ago. They clearly still have dominant market share, but they have been shitting up search results the last few years in the name of monetization a lot. I haven't found their results to be better than bing, at least not by a lot.
Their algorithm is still good, as if I use a search engine that sources from Google, the results are typically what I would expect. But from Google itself, the results have sponsored content barfed all over actual results and it takes a little effort to find what I was searching for.
I have gone on to alternative search engines and been so much happier. I will fallback on Google when I need to, but it's been extremely rare.
I don't think that's what I said? At least it's not how I meant it.
Microsoft was kind of getting their comeuppance there. They did the exact same billshit when they dominated the market with IE.
They really weren't that effective with Microsoft then either. The antitrust was far too late for Netscape and allowed Microsoft to hold a dominate market share with IE until they allowed the browser to deprecate and Google came in with a much better browser and took over the browser market (and are now doing the same bullshit).
As long as we keep giving these companies meaningless fines or wait until the damage is irreversible companies are going to always push the limit and look at any repercussions as just a cost of doing business.
So yeah, not much faith in anything changing.
Fucking A. I hate using Googles shitty messaging app, and maybe I would have more than 2 other rcs users in my contacts if the 3rd parties could implement it.
You make some valid points. But they pertain to your own experience. Their post is just as valid, because someone asked him why he was thinking about switching and he gave his own experience. Also a valid point for his own view. It's an opinion after all.
To say you haven't experienced the problems are well and good, but to trivialize his points down to "user error" was kind of dickish.
In area I live, lots of farmers were definitely against it. Which is SOOOOOOOOOOO ironic. At least I think that's irony. Someone fact check me please.
