I'm over the era of ads dominating our lives. I know not everyone can do so, but I'm willing to pay a fair rate for a fair search and AI service. If we have to continue to live in this system then I think we should better enable competition in the tech space and stop some of these mafia business monopoly tactics.
Some companies are just disgustingly greedy. I pay for a new TV, for example, and that thing is trying to download ads and report my usage non-stop and I paid fairly to own the device. I'd support any political party that actually wants to protect consumers from the nonsense business pull.
If you'd be happy paying for ad-free search and AI experience, consider Kagi.
Been using Kagi for about a month now and can confidently say that it's the best search engine I've used in the last few years, including Google. Will for sure renew and continue to use it, highly recommend it!
Kagi has a lot of room to improve but it's still far better thab Google / Bing.
I think Sunday prichai, and the entire executive team at google, should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity for what they've done to our access to infirmstion.
The judges will be the gods. We give them a specific piece of info they need to find with one Google search. If they can get it in the first try, they move onto the next round. If not then they lose a limb. 7 rounds. If they fail four times: no more limbs. If they fail five times they lose their head.
Whether they live or die is entirely up to their own ability to use their own search engine, and that search engines ability to do what is fucking supposed to.
Of course every one of them will end up headless. But that's the point isn't it?
