Pseudo-monopolies are great at extinguishing imagination like that, and tbh Google search (as I understand its basic setup) was only as good as it was thanks to timing and few really good competitors.

    Usually people educate themselves on a topic before trying to talk about it as if they have a clue.

    “But this is just, like, my opinion bro”

      We’re not in /c/technology or a tech themed instance, it’s a showerthought post (so the vibe should be casual), maybe learn to read a room?

        Instead of bothering to constructively correct me

        To quote a certain highly educated someone, we’re not in /c/technology nor a tech themed instance, it’s a showerthought post (so the vibe should be casual), so why would we go into technical details? maybe learn to read a room?

        your entire entry into the convo was pretty condescending for no apparent reason

        Except the stated one…

        Usually people educate themselves on a topic before trying to talk about it as if they have a clue.

        People are not gonna bother educating someone who won’t educate themselves, especially when what is said is so completely incorrect they have no idea where to even begin.
