  DDG came out as a non bubble results search engine. It is absolutely a bubble result now. If I search a short nonsensical few letters, I will get random results of doctors, agencies and companies in my small Irish town. If you turn off location it just either does nothing or sprinkles in a couple other results into the hyper focused ones. They became part of the problem they were trying to solve.

  Youtube has changed, its serialised direct tv now. You cannot easily find short videos, or old creators. Even if you do search ater like five videos they will return you to algorithmic results unrelated to search criteria.

  Reddit does autogenerate names now. I signed back up to do a survey and I got what I would have assumed was a bot name.

  How does that stack up, lower the value to sell? Shareholders approve his bonus, why would they want to lower their value.

  I had never heard of the 16e and checked their site, it will only allow comparison up to the 11, a phon from 2019. And its expensive.

  Their desktop apps suck though. Opening two ecels requires a fucking IT qualification. As in IT had to change admin settings to allow it to happen in our company.

  If they could ban the “confirm you know the rules of the fucking road” dialogue box that would be great.

  I find 365 to be a terrible mess if applications, outlook and teams have a calendar separate to the calendar app. Teams sucks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tests ad-supported Office apps for Windows users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I have heard it is far more popular than google in the states. I would champion neither but google are definitely better UI designers in my book. For something with so many features I can never get M365 to do what I want.

  It is also hectic the amount of sites it connects to, live, microsoft, outlook, copilot, m365…gsuite was just fluid - once you were in you could open anything and be fine, this keeps asking for permission and to relog in for each app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tests ad-supported Office apps for Windows users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just switched the M365 yesterday and it is atrocious, I would argue that “like outlook” would mean fucking infuriatingly shit.

  I wish my company would go away from them, gsuite was really good but they are also a shit company.

  M365 is trying to do too much with everything it has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not at all angry, or hateful for that matter. It seems that was a fallback for you, and so many of your kind but Im neither of those things.

  For decades people have spoken about America’s growing fascism. For decades the people dismissed it. There you go, enjoy. Try not fuck the world on your way down.

  Even if I was hateful, it would be far from misguided, the US is exactly as deserving of all the issues they are facing.

  Yeah yeah this is more of the same bs, “not my president”. I never thought that, I don’t think every NK supports Kim but relations should not be normalised while he is there.

  Americans love slogans and this is the perfect out, rather than actually fucking engaging and making a difference. Too busy lapping up shit and thinking of funny signs to hold up at the next stop te genocide rally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Great, a lot of times this attitude comes from having not been elsewhere but maybe not with you. I cant personally see any great benefit.other than weather and landmarks but that is just down to size and ability to travel negates it.

  I feel like we can at this stage, he was elected twice. The second time with greater support. All other branches have followed suit. The market leaders capitulate. Its great that AOC and Sanders exist but its hardly indicative of any greater shift in thenpolitical landscape…given the two party system has kept Sanders at arms length for decades and AOC has been brushed aside wherever possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is an ingrained attitude seen through statements like “leaders of the freeworld”, “the great american experiment”, “the most powerful person in the world (potus)”, etc.

  Americans have too much pride in a shithole country. There just isnt much justifiable pride to be found in modern america yet the leading party over every part of government maintains this greatest countrt ever bs.

  My comments werent to say the two were directly related, just that there are still instances of public murder in the US. I’m not at all full of hate, I just think the US is ridiculous with their passionate platitudes ( “This isnt Us”) and then they elect nazis (it absolutely is ye) and still manage to feel superior.

  The american exceptionalism has walked the population off a cliff because everyone was all too happy to be told how great they are instead of keeping up with global progress. See the below for a no exhaustive list:

  infant mortality

  Maternity leave

  Employment rights

  Incarcerated civilians

  Incarcerated non civilians

  National debt

  Average lifespan

  Number of billionaires

  Number of homeless
