What incentive does Google have to even put up a fight? Worse results = more time searching = more “traffic” = more ad revenue. It’s not like they really have to worry about search engine competitors. Please do not try to recommend DDG to me. It is just a different flavor of garbage.
There have been great lengths taken over the course of decades to make protestation on this scale prohibitively difficult for Americans. The exact numbers are apparently up for debate but between 40 and 80% of Americans can’t afford to miss a single paycheck. Splinter protests across the country do fuck all for federal issues and since most people can’t afford to make the trip to DC we’re stuck with a non-starter until things get so bad that it doesn’t matter if people are getting paid or not.
Damn straight. I tried out Jerboa and was so disappointed that until Lemmy Sync was announced I just assumed I would no longer have a Reddit style app for a while.
Also, if we’re being frank, DDG’s results are damn near useless half the time.
It’s like the opposite end of the SEO spectrum. Whereas Google just anchors onto certain keywords to regurgitate the same 4 listacles, DDG just sees your input for “my lawnmower won’t start” and responds with “lawnmower huh? I dunno here’s the history of John Deere or some shit, fuck off”.
Why are they starting with only 30 min per day? That seems like a lot of effort for very little effect.
Of course he is.
I know it’s a stupid superficial thing, but wtf is going on with this guy’s hair?
Holy shit I have never felt more seen! I thought I was going nuts or I had fucked up my algorithm or something. All search results are garbage these days unless you include Reddit. Bring back the information age of the Internet!
Good for you?
Just out of curiosity, does billionaire dick taste like push pop, or fun dip, or maybe rocket pops?
These people aren’t arguing in good faith. They’re just stretching for any strawman they can to justify the fact that they don’t want to spend money or see ads. In other words “Do a bunch of work for me to benefit from for free”.
Sync has been good to me for the better part of a decade and after a little while on the free app I will most likely end up paying. He has earned it.
The little experience I had with Jerboa was not user friendly. Also, I know the Dev for sync is engaged and responsive to the community.
I may be outing an oversight but list view doesn’t show those boxes. I see what you’re talking about in the card view, however.

I thought I was taking crazy pills. I haven’t seen a single ad yet and was wondering why everyone is bitching.
Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line “panic: we are hanging here”.
Never did puzzle that out.
