Comment on Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal

I wish I held onto my old Yahoo account, but it got so full of spam that it became completely unusable; so I deleted it 🫤

Yahoo still exists. Somehow. Apparently the brand is extremely popular in Japan, Yahoo Japan is on the list of top 50 visited websites. IIRC the brand was bought by Verizon, and I have no idea if Yahoo even offers web search anymore.

Apparently Yahoo has used Google for their search backend since 2000.

How the hell are we down to two meaningful web engines and two meaningful search engines?
There’s Firefox and everyone else, and everyone else uses Chrome.
There’s Google and everyone else, and everyone else uses Bing.

Don’t forget safari, the entirety of iOS userbase is forced to use it

Because complacency. That’s all I can think of.
