I do not understand why Google has become so ossified. They must know they’re strangling their own business, surely? Do they somehow think they’re irreplaceable? That no one will ever build a better search engine? And the best they can come up with is AI-generated search nonsense? As if that’s going to help.

Stop trying to make maximum profits for minimum effort, fire whatever useless exec is in charge over there, and get someone who actually wants to fix things before someone eats your lunch, Google!

Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I’m there.

Yes, I can’t stand complete silence. I have a fan going at pretty much all times, summer or winter, and I definitely can’t sleep without it. I have a white noise generator, but I prefer the fan because I’m so used to the airflow that the room feels dead and suffocating without it now.

While you’re correct, it’s just a clunky term. I think some other way to refer to the whole thing will probably come along soon, and in a few years, people will regard saying fediverse the same way we look back on people talking about “surfing the information superhighway” or whatever.

There’s more than that too. Like Pixelfed for images and Funkwhale for music streaming.

Check out this Feditips thread for a bunch of stuff.

That’s true, but they’ll never be satisfied with just making some profit. There will always be a rapacious desire for infinite profits. If they could find a way to make you watch nothing but ads on there and charge you for it, they would do it. It’s only going to get worse.

I’m sure the community is perfectly fine, but the name is gross and awful. It’s the reason I never went there on Reddit and probably won’t here either, and I don’t imagine I’m the only one. It’s not welcoming at all. It seems normal if you’re used to it, I guess, but having a Nazi reference in your name is not a good look. You’d be better off ditching it now you have the opportunity imo.
