Fucking company town. Google has become a real shit company. Switch your default search to duck duck go or anything else people!
searx
As awesome as it is, it's still a meta search engine so you'd have to remember to exclude Google. Otherwise hosting your own search engine is mega cool!
yeah, using a someone elses public searx (like i do ) just seems unhygienic.
The new Brave search is pretty great.
Google sucks, search with ducks!
So this is absolutely a scummy move by google, no doubt, but google employees are some of the highest paid people in the world at this point. Boycott them if you want, but don't feel like you have to right this injustice done to their employees, because they've still got it really good.
Edit: Just so this doesn't come across as a crabs in a bucket type scenario, I am in this field and I am fortunate enough to make similar money, not as much, but equivalent in my country's market. We are not the people that need fighting for, we're the ones that should be fighting for others to have similar opportunities.
No I just mean the this is yet another item in a LOOOOOOOONG line of things where Google has gone the pure shit route.
In the last couple years, Google serves me more ads as search results than actual relevant results. The enshitification of the internet is real and I finally see it. I’ve have enough. Between Reddit, twitter, Google, SEO, Facebook and friends, Amazon becoming wish.con, etc everything is just going to shit. Maybe it makes me some old boomer dreaming of the glory days, but I’ve had enough. I refuse to be a product and I refuse to put any money towards these shitmaster overlords if there’s any way I can help it.
All fair reasons to use another service if that's a deal breaker for sure
Thank you for defining the crab bucket mentally for everyone here!
You must have just missed my edit
Your edit doesn't do it for me. You guys managed to get remote work, and now it's being taken away. Do you think the pay scale has anything to do with what's going on here?
Google still has fully remote employees, they're asking non remote employees back into the office a few days a week. Last I heard you can still apply to transfer to fully remote.
We are not the people that need fighting for
At least not yet. Wait until the capitalists start replacing us with cheaper AI
Lol shiiit stay away from my job ChatGPT!
