They really think they still have that much leverage, do they?
Google and Republicans want stupid easy-to-control kids who grow up into stupid easy-to-control adults that can’t think for themselves.

Really sucks that there are no other search engines to use.
shut off their refrigerators.
YaCy for the brave and independent
Make it so anyone can turn it off 🙏
Okay. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Google.
Probably Gemini told them that would be an awesome Idea.
use duckduckgo then. google search is mostly AI generated anyways now.
Great! Let’s teach kids that “searching the internet” does not have to mean “Google it”
I’ve read that young folks have dropped the term and now say “search it”. I’ll have to ask my young ones. Unfortunately, they often answer in ways they think daddy wants to hear, despite my admonitions to stop that shit.
No they fucking say “chatgpt it” 💀
Thems fighting words at my house
I’ve often heard that they’ll, “ask chat,” or they say, “I asked chat,” and show me a ChatGPT log.
DuckDuckGo
You are foolish for not using that by now.
Happy Kagi user here
I prefer Qwant. Better results, especially when searching in other languages than English.
And yes, DDG is Bing results, we know.
It’s a mix of indexes, Bing has been a minority share for years now.
searxng if youre into self hosting
I tried to self-host unsuccessfully, so I just wanna give a shoutout to whoever hosts priv.au. You’re a real one ✌️
Maybe “naïve” or “ill informed”. “Foolish” is pretty harsh.
Foolish is accurate.
Anyone supporting Google, Meta, Musk, Anthropic, Amazon, etc are fools.
The assumption of tech savvy around here is wild! Never been in another online space where people assume everyone is at a reasonable tech level.
You’ve never been on the internet before lemmy?
:) Since the 90s! But nowhere, and I do mean nowhere, is as snotty and assumptive about the man-on-the-street’s tech savvy.
Yeah I’d agree its probably over assumed here more than other places, but it’s definitely not uncommon in other online spaces… I find it hard to believe it’s something you’ve never seen before unless the only other space you’ve been is Instagram or tumblr and only following food posts or similar…
FTFY:
The assumption of tech savvy around here is wild! Never been in another online space where [all the] people [there] assume everyone is at a reasonable tech level.
You get me. I meant it’s worse here than other places. Same for assuming political savvy. Believe it or not, there are shitloads of Americans who don’t know about 1/1000th of Trump’ crimes. “Oh I don’t listen, politics is all bullshit.”
Commented on Trump’s dementia to a friend the other day, “Yeah, but wasn’t Biden pretty bad too?” That’s where the “man on the street” is at. :(
The ‘you’ in the comment from the top of this thread is addressing the average lemmy user, the man on the street being a fool is nearly a given 😅
Except the results suck, and the results are the entire purpose
This will backfire hard. It will create students who do not conflate Google with search.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is in the middle of making a big mistake.
They seem to be going all-in on bad ideas lately, losing all that ad revenue from ai giving the answers before they can bombard the inquirer with ad slop and now this. Let them die a fiery death, lol
Good, keep shooting your self.
Schools all across the world are rejecting AI, this will open the road for alternative search engines.Another commenter said that the IT admin would simply change the search engine behind the omnibar. Easy money and nothing really changes except the kids betting better search results.
Kids shouldn’t gamble.
Don’t be Evil…be nice to those quarterly reports.
