Back in the day it was the best at what it did, but there’s less demand these days for that kind of old fashioned search.

Its still better than the competition at finding the URL of a corporate or government entity. Its still helpful for searching other websites for particular content - for example, the wikis for some games have an obtuse layout and unhelpful search function, and google can be the best way to find a particular page in that wiki.

Before ChatGPT existed, and before the enshitifaction of Reddit reached the critical level its at today, google searching site:reddit.com was pretty good at finding organic human conversations that provide actual answers to your questions.

Today however, ChatGPT is better at providing useful answers to whatever questions you may have. And Bing is better at image search.

I’m not sure who “they” is in your comment?

My understanding is that socialists, anarchists, and others that might be considered “the left”, tend to love democracy. They love it so much they want to see it spread from government into the workplace. Governments that operate according to democratic republican* principals are not the enemy of the left - they’re part of it.

*note the lower case letters - not talking about political parties, but representative democracy as a philosophy

over charging customers and under paying employees

That’s the crux of the issue.

Who’s going to buy it for a high price, if there is no demand for office space, because workers are all remote?

Is it though? Seems like there’s a lot of support for religious zealots (Iran & proxies) and imperialist authoritarians (Russia). Seems pretty auth-right.

The lack of moderation on lemmy.ml is a problem. For example:

Aren’t English just Italians pretty much? We all know how much they like their Cesar.

yeah, the “s” in the title is doing some heavy lifting

The opposite headline sounds just as bad: Submarine Fails To Sink

Right? Venus, Earth, and Mars should all be pretty similar. Mercury should be about the size of the moon or a little bigger. Jupiter doesn’t need to be fuck off huge, but at least a bit bigger than Saturn.

the inaccurate scale of the planets tho…

I’ve read that a shaped charge’s armor piercing jet of plasma has a fairly long reach. A direct hit with the plasma spear directed toward the center of the vehicle would probably still pierce the vehicle. However, a cage like that might provide protection from a glancing blow, where the plasma jet is not directed toward the center of mass - like, instead of getting a hole through the corner of the roof, the jet misses entirely.

Indeed.
That villain once said to me, “Nice to see you,” when I am, in fact, a hideously disfigured mockery of life itself.
You just can’t trust the Kindred these days.
