That’s because nobody helped when their hair was on fire, and now they’re dead.

I’m right there with you. Also, it’s “it’s” and not “its”.
It’s called Xitter now, pronounced shitter.
I refuse to think of 2000 as anything but the future where will all have flying cars.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve heard of it, but haven’t tried yet - but I will.
I gave up on Google over a decade ago - maybe two decades by now. Way back when I was using Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Astalavista, and others. When Google came, it somehow beat them all at finding exactly what I was looking for.
Later they stopped searching for the exact words you typed, but it was okay because adding a plus in front of terms, or quotes around phrases, still let you search exact things. The combination of both systems was very powerful.
And then plus and quotes stopped working. Boolean operators stopped working. Their documentation still says they work, but they don’t.
Now, it seems like your input is used only as a general guideline to pick whatever popular search is closest to what it thinks you meant. Exact words you typed are often nowhere in the page, not even in the source.
I only search Google maps now, and occasionally Google translate.
My life would make baby Godzilla cry.
Our code base is filled with “//constructor”, “//destructor”, “//assignment”, or the ever enlightening “Foo GetFoo(); // GetFoo”.
This is not what they mean by self-documenting code.
If the Internet has taught me anything, they’re 42 and 69.
No, it’s a complicated process involving birds and bees.
You should be aware that “maintaining” that PC may be more than you expect. Just this weekend I had to help my aunt because the bank’s website had a “big thing in front of it” that she couldn’t get rid of. It turned out to be a cookie banner that was just a bit too big for her laptop screen, and the buttons to close it were out of the frame.
That’s just an example of course, but depending on the person(s) using it, there may need to be someone at hand to help at all times.
Violations of privacy. Microsoft has that too though, so unless Google has wallpapers they need to step up their game.
Am I the only one who’s more bothered by “wyd” missing a second w than by the picture?
You should really ask the same question - or its inverse - in a conservative forum. If you only ask it here, you’ll get a very skewed answer.
And to be honest, the question itself and the wording shows your bias as well. Whenever something about US politics is posted on Lemmy, there are always comments about how “they” are hate-filled people, how “they” are projecting, how “they” want to rape children. It’s a different expression of that hatred, but it is the same hatred.
What happened to Lord Buckethead?
As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.
Ah thank you. I was unaware of the matrix protocol.
I’m obviously out of the loop, because I don’t know. Can someone explain?
That’s another benefit: no more meetings.
Most painful upvote of my life.
