yep, gw gapernah pake ddg nya buat search, selalu gw tambahin !g jadi searchnya ke google juga

intinya third place ya yang rame, polanya mirip kayak hongkong, siang-siang panas, orang-orang gak mau nongkrong di taman, maunya nongkrong di mall ber-AC

karena gw kadang ganti2 browser, firefox edge chrome

sama, gw merasa lemmy.world terlalu terkenal, dan instance lokal bus factornya terlalu kecil, gw ambil jalan tengah dan mainly pake lemm.ee (tapi gw punya akun 3 ketiga instance itu)

saya pake ddg tapi 99% bakal nambahin !bang ke google !g

enaknya pake ddg bisa pake bang itu tadi, kalo mau buka yt tambahin !yt wikipedia !w wiktionary !wt twitter !tw google images !gi

pake bing cuma kalo butuh buat bing chat, nambahin !b

• MS Office doing obfuscation to their office file data to prevent FOSS editor like LibreOffice from rendering it correctly

they did this specially prevent the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy
