      I’m still on my Bing diet from Google but they’d be an easy recommend if the search didn’t suck ass. I’m not saying Google is that good either, equally bad on most cases, but from time to time I still need Google’s help because they’re getting me closer to what I want than Bing.

      But sure, focus on spammy, intrusive ads straight in the OS. Fucking idiots. I don’t understand how they think they’ll win that war without improving the product. I hate the AI as well because I can’t trust it.

        Anytime they talk about using “AI” at my job it’s in some way that is completely unnecessary and seems to actually make the product shittier. And no, it’s not Bing.

    I like “bing” just fine, in the sense that I’m pretty sure duckduckgo uses Bing search results

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But this trial kicks off two years after a district judge found Apple could maintain its locked-down iOS ecosystem and two months after Microsoft won a ruling letting it buy Activision Blizzard, continuing a rapid consolidation of the games industry.

    They also painted the allegations as disingenuous complaints from fellow tech companies who couldn’t compete fairly: in Apple’s case, the Fortnite publisher Epic, and in Microsoft’s, the rival console maker Sony.

    In opening arguments, Schmidtlein showed instructions for switching from Google to another search engine, comparing it to the days of slotting in software floppy disks or downloading programs over dial-up internet.

    Rangel was one of the few non-Google employees to make an appearance on the witness stand in the first week, arguing in a presentation that search engine defaults produce a “sizable and robust bias” toward the preselected option.

    The first week of testimony hasn’t fully explored this yet, but one of its prime examples is lax privacy standards — if Google had to seriously compete instead of buying its way into your search bar, Dintzer said, it might have to do a better job of safeguarding your data.

    The Justice Department is expected to make its case over the rest of September and early October, and we’ll likely hear from a bevy of current and former Google employees, including CEO Sundar Pichai.
