This is honestly not a shitpost, I truly feel that Google isn't doing anything better than they were 10 years ago. Search has noticeably declined in the past year, and I am regularly struck by how readily they will rank matches based o

OneTrust, Evidon, and the rest of the "privacy management" services...why can't I just click once at their site that I don't want any cookies from any of the companies that use them? I just went through a thing with Ev

That's not a problem as I see it so I don't need a better source telling me it is a problem. And you know just as well as I do that it's not, "things it doesn't like."

First of all, Newsbusters is crap. Secondly, that story does not say what you say it does. What Reddit is doing is actually warning people that they are interacting with the site in the manner of coordinated bots. Certainly you aren't

What do you mean by "it," in "what it has become?" Also, what value(s) you're looking for in "better alternative," because none of anything in your comment is specific besides "neo-nazi." I'

That's called the Just-World Hypothesis, and I don't know that anybody professes it as a policy framework, though regular people do and I think it could be said to underlie a lot of prejudices and bigotries in people who do affe
