honestly i don't think this is too big a deal - search has always been more than just results like when you could enter in an equation and get a calculator widget or currency exchange.

i do think that stagnation has hit tech companies as a whole and i think google is suffering because of it. google i/o's and android used to be so exciting now it just feels like they're going through the motions (apple suffers from this too).

these clickbait anti microsoft ads weren't amusing in the late 90s on slashdot and they aren't amusing now.

right? the clickbait is just absurd. and i say this as someone who lived through the whole slashdot "m$" phase where you couldn't blink without seeing an anti microsoft piece on there

US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I'm hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here... Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

he's been one of the most progressive presidents in recent history. he already has it... only the perpetually online twitter brigade would think otherwise.

firefox develops an optional predictive search feature like every other search engine and browser has that actually protects user privacy that can easily be turned off so naturally the internet loses their mind over it and declares firefox dead.

Secret Hamas Files Show How It Spied on Everyday Palestinians ( www.nytimes.com )

bluesky has a robust moderation system which blocks transphobes, bigots, and racism which is why jack hates it.

@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

it's meant to be twitter by ui and feel, for sure.

i'd also say it's meant to be more like twitter from a decade ago when twitter actually had a functioning moderation system and kept toxicity away. the moderation system, which is open sourced and allows anyone to add on to, is one of the best.

i'm subscribed to https://bsky.app/profile/aegis.blue, which blocks or hides antisemites, bigots, racists, transphobes, you name it.

Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies?

I keep being told it's because of the Republicans that we can't have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

cupcakezealot ,
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

because implementing them is very unfeasable, especially on a statewide basis.

also california isn't some sort of utopia, it's still very republican it's just that the bluer parts are in the cities

Although maybe you’re just trying to state that Democrats are still rightists, even if they are significantly less so than the overtly fascist Republicans, which would be accurate.

simply delusional statement.

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the...

why did israel fund hamas for years if they just want to get rid of them?

israel rejected release of the hostages so they can illegally take more land.

and people still claim they're the good guys.

went to computer camp in the early 90s (yes i was the stereotype) and we learned basic programming on radio shack computers (the monitor/keyboard combined type - i can't remember the name)

then i moved on to qbasic and started programming basic type text adventure games with inventory management in my spare time :)

edit: looking it up, i believe it was the trs-80. it looks familiar but i'm not 100% positive. could have also been the model ii
