I commented on the article forum. TL;DR What matters to me is not that Google (or whatever search engine) is the best but is an adequate search engine. And all the search engines currently suck in contrast to how effective they were in 2013.
If we had a state-run search engine that worked as poorly as Google does, we’d hear no end of how the ideology of socialized services is awful, so if Google is the best that the market has to offer, that is far removed from good enough.
Part of that isn’t really the fault of the search engines though, SEO optimization is heavily abused and with AI writing for websites now, identifying what’s worth indexing/returning vs ignoring because it’s garbage is basically a game of whack-a-mole
As soon as I read
The iPhone is by far the best mobile platform in the world
I had a hard time taking this article seriously. Not because I don’t believe Apples iPhone offering has its place, but because that is conjecture.
Both Android, and iPhone have their places. That being said, so do the more niche mobile operating systems.
Comparing Android to iOS is like comparing Arm to x64 architecture. They both have their use cases. And people should use the best device for their use case.
It’s not a one size fits all kind of situation.
Wow, Gruber getting the beat down by Lemmy. 😬
in a perfect world, when it is the better search engine, and they didn’t cheat then i’d say do nothing. they did no wrong so why even ask this question?
