I've found that bad addons, spyware, and adware can immensely affect your Google results. Which is... Really alarming, but.... Its true.
This is not to say a lot of seo hasn't absolutely ruined search. Because it has.

Wtf is "birthright citizenship"? Wouldn't that just eliminating citizenship and eventually just result in essentially a caste system? Like... Wtf?
"And now, nobody is citizens except me because I say so! Wheeeeeeeee!!!"
Let's be clear: it's a very good browser, very HTML5 compliant, and perhaps one of the best browsers...
...Assuming you don't care about insane amounts of spyware - AND not having a lot of really cool browser add-ons (those having spyware and memory leaks is a separate topic, but I want to acknowledge these problems).
Edge makes more calls home per second than any other piece of software on my computer. I looked at my live log and it was a literal stream. Nearly every single action you do is tracked and sent.... (waves hands confusingly up in the air in circles) ...somewhere. Likely Microsoft, but I really don't know.
Almost all of Windows is like this too. I hate it so much. There's just no great way to have nice things right now.
Proof?
Edit: I used to use it years ago and somebody I know is considering switching from Chrome to it and I've not heard anything about this.
I always used baconreader because I'm after really compact and full function with options. I don't want giant image cards because I'm ten million years old (I'm not, I just like the outcome of having to design around simplicity and efficiency).
However, an actual app? Made by a popular, experienced, and successful app dev? I will 100% pay for and use that even though it's not my preferred design philosophy.
Lemmy and kbin are... alright as they are, but chrome is such a pos for multitasking and I would really love some clarity and consistency to the ux design across different instances and more and better options.
What I really want, ideally, is baconreader to make a universal fediverse app - but the likelihood of anybody making a universal app and that's good is very low, let alone my favorite 3rd party reddit app dev that's already said they don't plan on it.
Religious people are against my belief, but I'm not going to irrationally fuck them over or do shit like this because what they do is against my belief.
This type of behavior that the pharmacist did should 100% be illegal in all parts of the world. Why is it not? Going against established systems to patients or endusers like this as a peon (not trying to change the soc, but instead acting against them against also the patient's will) should be an imprisonable action that also results in loss of any license or certifications. You just can't do stuff like this, it's hugely immoral.
Even if you're the prescribing doctor, religion is not a medical reason to influence a decision for care. It undermines the integrity of the entire system and does nothing but harass and cause unnecessary and irrational harm on real people.
Like, if the doctor said "this is what you should do for that, medically, but my religion believes it's wrong", THAT would be horrible enough. But to outright refuse on religious grounds? Outrageous. I'm blown away that such an important and previously respected profession allows people like this.
We gotta ask ourselves: why is this type of thing where it is in society? We all know and can prove it's wrong and should be illegal. So why the fuck isn't it? It's not some kids getting high at home, it's not people choosing to be in a cult - it's literal medicine. Imagine if it was a heart attack and that just up and said "mmm, nope you're against my religion." I'm gonna go be a fucking paramedic and research people before I help them and be their fucking life judge, and if anybody tries to cross me, I'll beat them down because helping them is so against my belief. Like.... That's super messed up.
TEXTFILES! WOW! What a blast from the past! I can't remember the last time I saw that site! Isn't that the site that just outright hosts a copy of the anarchist's cookbook and other similar stuff?
I remember it was all blue and I would visit it on the School computers thinking I was so edgy, but then school shootings weren't common at all yet, and when they started, I sort of moved away from visiting sites like that entirely.
But man. MAN..... I kind of want to see if it's still there, just for the old times, but... I feel like the fbi takes stuff like that a LOT more seriously now :|
What to do, what to do....
Edit: Jfc yeah that's the one - annnnd I'm on a list now, great :/
Mildly, but honestly that feels like a good thing.
Reminds me of those paper tests or quizzes in school where there'd be a paragraph of instructions in the beginning, and halfway through, it would say if you wrote your name on it and turned it in after ten minutes and wrote "potato" as the answer to #4 and just turned it in, you would get 100%, or if you just did something specific you'd get some extra credit.
The number of people that don't read instructions is insane. Teachers were complaining about students not writing dates on stuff or some other aspect of laziness and would use this to incentivize kids to read instructions.
My God. Multiple times I've been on that screen in the past. But every time, I'll have no idea how I got there. I've tried to get back, but the best I had was on a magazine's page at the very bottom.
Thank you for showing this.
My opinion? This is AWFUL design. That a second settings button is THERE is unbelievable. Maybe I'm not hip to how the fediverse exactly works, but this doesn't feel like the right route to that stuff.
Haha it was perfectly good and the same as all the others on THIRD PARTY APPS
Because prioritizing growth rather than sustainability costs a shit ton of money, money which gets borrowed from investors, which has to get paid back in folds, and then the investors also want more and can control what you do, and all they want is more money, so they reinvest over and over and over, which just perpetuates debt and further and further delays profit.
In short: late-stage capitalist greed.
