What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?
  • But doesn't this already exist? For most packages I get, I can choose to either have them delivered to my door or to a package station, where I put my delivery number in and it unlocks the compartment my package is in. Same for sending packages.

    Here's an example:
    .

    I'm in Europe though, not sure if it's a thing in the US.

    What beliefs or hypotheses do you hold strongly despite not feeling confident that you can necessarily prove or evince it?
  • You should watch The Good Place and/or read the book How to be Perfect by Michael Schur. He made the show too.

    He starts from the same standpoint as you and then explores moral philosophy to find answers.

    A Google breakup is on the table, say DOJ lawyers
  • About reddit - I was just looking up different search engines and stumbled upon this. So apparently reddit blocks other search engines. But honestly, that's not even that bad. Reddit's been astroturfed to hell and even the non-product placement content is AI generated garbage.

    Quotation marks worked as a patch for a short while in google, but even that has been nerfed the last couple of years. Honestly I'm just looking for a search engine that doesn't return results for what it thinks I want, but returns results that actually contain the keywords I searched for.
    But from what I've seen, it's slim pickings. I'll give Qwant a try tho, thanks!

    A Google breakup is on the table, say DOJ lawyers
  • I seriously can't deal with google search anymore, I swear I can't find anything.
    It's like it replaces my search terms with something more common (sometimes even completely unrelated) and runs the search with that. It's fucking ridiculous. Keyword search doesn't work at all anymore, and writing fucking sentences like it suggests you to leads to completely shit results. I just don't get it.
    I noticed a change like this some 10 or so years ago. It used to be pretty simple, just an index search. And it was pretty reliable, you just had to get the hang of it. But I noticed they changed something because that didn't work so well anymore, so I switched up my search style to be more like you would expect people new to computers to have. Kinda annoying, and not as effective, especially for edge cases (some obscure searches) but for those it seemed to somewhat fall back to the old method.
    But now, nothing works anymore. Honestly it fucking infuriates me sometimes, I can't find anything. If you want something specific, fucking forget it. More than three specifications and it shows you just 5 results??? What the fuck is with that? And not good results mind you. any less specific and it shows you generic, not applicable answers. I tried everything, it's useless beyond the most general questions.

    So yeah, I kinda went off on a rant there, but the point of the comment is, is qwant (or any other alternative) similar to old google and can actually search by keywords?

  • Wait so any new hires after this deal was made would not be included? Wouldn't new hires also be in the union?

    That would seem like a pretty big deal if true.
