You're such a sad little man

The company is the operator.

We can hold corporations responsible, we just usually don't

It has created massive personal inflation for some people.

You know the reason all the games have a bunch of gender fluid furries? Because that's what the kids want to see. You know why? Because it makes you apoplectic.

"What is the regret from ending those things?"

Even if you don't care about the tens of thousands of lives lost because of the kind of piece of shit you are, you should care about ending USAID leading to the screwworm reaching the US. And maybe you would if you weren't in Russia.

The EU decided that to protect local middlemen they would introduce a 3 Euro charge per item type on packages being imported. It seems to have been targeted at sites like AliExpress and Temu. I'm sure they will sooner or later set up local distribution warehouses inside the EU - in fact they already have some, so that popular items and heavily discounted ones can be delivered more quickly and cheaply. I suppose that creates some jobs, but it must be very annoying for people buying less popular stuff who are forced to pay the 3 Euro or buy from a middleman.

You can keep those records on the platform of your choice, including your own self hosted one.

And before the paranoid comments start, they did this with Matter for smart home stuff too, and it is genuinely open and local only capable.

How about Grok? xAI is being sued because it lets you make child abuse material, which sounds pretty unrestricted.

And now we just give up and find ways to reword everything.

Google was better than Altavista when AV was a thing. Once the effective competition disappeared and the term "Google" became synonymous with searching, they broke their product in the name of "engagement".

The really weird part to me is why none of the modern alternatives (DDG, Startpage, etc) are better. How hard could it be to implement a hard "include only these words, exactly as I spelled them"?

They're people who cause those kinds of things to happen to others. Boo. Fucking. Hoo.

The wealthy have always been like that. We just notice more now because of the media and Internet.
