The sad part is, every time I type dlang in google for something, it tries to correct it to golang and that's terrible. duckduckgo doesn't do that.

- fao_ 7y agoI mean, Go is funded by google. So, that's kind of what you get when you use a search engine that is run by a major advertising corporation, I think. I hold a rather controversial (at least for HN, apparently) opinion that, I don't think we can expect a corporation to be impartial if there's no legal impetus on it and there's no monetary reason for them to act impartially. Google is a business, that makes money from selling your searches and displaying advertising. So, it's going to do exactly that.
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoI just tried and there is literally no mention of golang in any of the search results

- coldtea 7y agoI see. I can get some of those too. Thought you meant the "Showing results for xxx / Search instead for yyy" correction, which switches your (unpopular) yyy query under you. The suggestions are annoying, but can easily ignore and insist on my search term.
