It’s their right to do so
It’s my right to say it’s shitty behavior and I look down on it
No one is saying you can’t?? Lmao. Needed to get your daily persecution fix did ya. Enjoy it little buddy
The single thing Google did right when they first came out was a clean UI with a search bar on an uncluttered page.
At the time the competitors had search pages cluttered with ads and news. It was so bad you couldn’t think.
If Microsoft makes their search nice to look at them it’s going to get many more users
DuckDuckGo and Kagi managed to figure this out. Bing is the odd one out.
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Great movie. Some jokes surely have aged badly, but it’s a classic.
I was surprised that the sequel wasn’t that bad either. Faithful to the style and silliness.
lol, I just watched this movie this week
Does it hold up in 2025?
It’s a classic comedy movie from the '80s. To a modern audience some jokes will appear too raunchy or racist, but I think it’s still worth a watch.
Personally I started to dislike it’s comedy, even though it was one of my favorite movies back in the 90s. I tried to watch it’s sequel and I couldn’t go beyond the first 10 minutes. It hasn’t aged well to me.
With Net Neutrality gone, these giant tech companies could start bidding to make ISPs make their search engine default and have the other competitors fail to load.
The stupidest thing about this whole entire thing about net neutrality.
The entire reason the FCC was created was to prevent the committee from being governed by the government process to avoid corruption for the exact circumstances we’re seeing here
Saying that the Supreme Court and the appeals court has any area of saying what the FCC is legally allowed to do is laughable, as the entire reason for the committee being isolated from the standard Executive Administrative branches was to prevent government overreach like they’re doing currently.
This is 1,000% them saying hey you’re an isolated committee that we can’t touch but you’re not allowed to do the one thing that your committee is supposed to do
Corruption all the way to the top. It’s the American way, ironically I think the slogan “drain the swamp” works for both parties, as it’s clear that the people that are in charge aren’t willing to actually uphold the commitment they’ve made to the people.
“This thing that one party did, multiple times, is the fault of both parties!”
Thank you for providing a perfect example. It’s manipulative or delusional to say that the fault of the country is exclusively one party. It’s how we got in this situation in the first place. The amount of partisanship that this country has is ridiculous, especially when the go-to response for anything going wrong is well look at the other side. The US as a whole needs to do better, nobody’s going to get anywhere if it’s just the blame game. Both sides can be at fault, blame is not unilaterally one way nor is it equal levels. I’m not downplaying either sides position, but I’m not going to ignore what’s happening in the country.
Being said I’m not engaging further in this, I don’t want it to devolve into a political thread as its not the purpose of this, I was just making a one off comment on the irony of it all.
which has become a synonym for search engines or finding answers online.
If you’re my age, sure. But it’s crap.
This is a search engine showing open evidence of skewing results away from true for their own motivations. Slightly comic when it is Microsoft doing it to Google but if they do this so blatantly how else are they more subtly redirecting our searches towards biased or even false results that benefit them and misinform the user.
Remember how much they just announced they were plowing into AI? The Machine Hungers
Eh who cares? You guys act like Google is some helpless infant
I wonder if Google would even bother to do the reverse. Is anyone searching for bing?
Google has such bad results, they would probably figure you wanted the Palmer’s candy.
Microsoft does so many scammy things when it comes to trying to prevent people from using Chrome/Google. Even though Edge/Bing hasn’t caught on, I really think them abusing windows dominate OS position this way should be enough for an antitrust lawsuit.
I’m having antitrust deja vu. Anybody else?
Hope for EU sanctions because it’s going to be a rubber stamp for at least the next four years in the US.
At least. Honestly I’m expecting a full dictatorship at this point…
Not just Google. There was a performance “bug” in Windows Defender a while back that specifically harmed Firefox. It had been reported but Microsoft took 5+ years to fix, and Mozilla did the bulk of the sleuthing and proposing fixes themselves.
Now, whether MS were intentionally crippling a competitor’s browser in the beginning when the bug surfaced (which coincidentally was around the time Edge was relaunched as a chromium browser), there’s no way to know.
But after a certain point, a software company with a market cap in the trillions loses any benefit of doubt I’d give them in scenarios like this where it benefits them not to find a solution. And 5 years is far beyond that point.
Unfortunately for Firefox, they didn’t really have the money for a lawsuit against a juggernaut like Microsoft.
I was installing chrome on a work computer, and windows defender was automatically flagging the chrome installer (official, directly from google) as malware and deleting it automatically as soon as it was downloaded. It wasn’t blacklisted for very long, I was able to download it without issues the next day, but I always have wondered if that was something they were testing out on purpose or not.
Microsoft is a pathetic little husk of a company, what a corny and predatory practice that not even google cares to do if you search other search engines.
Bing/Microsoft are so scummy lately
The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy! But an enemy I like to watch.
lately
They should probably just make that the default homepage at this point
Don’t care.
They can fuck with google for all I care.Google is shady af
Yeah tbh, it’s just two shady companies trying to out-cheat each other.
Who do you think the actual loser is in that case? Because I’ll give you a hint, it isn’t Microsoft or Google.
And just when I thought their endless begging couldn’t get any more pathetic.
Soon enough they’ll tell you a puppy dies every time you launch a non-edge browserIf you’re going to use one of the two, it’s a lot better to be using Bing than Google. At least you stand a chance of finding what you’re looking for with Bing.
I guess? But deception ain’t helping anyone
