Literally trying to get people to quit so they don't have to fire them because it is more expensive.

Yes 162 billion+ from money they make off search. It would take some more math but you'd have to figure out the indirect income as well of people using Google services because of search.

Search is still an incredibly powerful and prolific part of Google's business despite what they make focus on from the outside. Which is why it boggles my mind that they just let it go absolutely to shit. But on the other hand they make 162 billion a year from it so there's the reason there's 162 billion of them.

So I guess nothing changes even if Reddit goes dark on the search ability front of this Google probably just keeps limping along it's not like anyone out there is competing. Bing maybe in the future there's still some innovation that needs to happen there and they need to get the default power somehow. Duck duck go is the way but that's still using Google search just with out as many tracking features built-in.

They just chose the money over the usable of Google search. Google used Reddit as a crutch but now that is stale or going away (pending reddit getting paid by AI companies for their data). So Google is either going to have to change how search works which will endanger their bottom line from search and totally change how search engine optimization and thousands of websites work which seems unlikely. Or find a way to keep search relevant.

Odd it only reads Dave the Diver.

Yeah idk why people are salt at steam. It should be fuck my government for not being able to run a economy and currency.

Man it is just not like that. At least for me I tried to switch to Linux a while back and had nothing but problems.

You also have to realize that most people coming from windows have years of experience with that operating system and learning something brand new can be a challenge.

On the Linux community site I agree there's a lot of people trying to help but very few of that trickles down to the end user. When you Google something you inevitably come up with some ancient forum thread that leads you to put some crazy ass command line command in without explaining literally any of it. The assumption is that if you're using Linux you should already be a master at the operating system.

I will say that install of the next went really really well for me I installed pop os which seems like it's the most user friendly option. But after a while you just want something to work. It is not too much to ask for there to be a gui implementation of something. And for there to be somewhere to go to ask a question without being fucking badgered by people who think just asking the question makes you a fucking dumbass.

Has any 3rd party talked about the performance?
