The only gripe I have with this article is that I’m not convinced why the metric of “we want people to query more on Google” should be concerning to me. That just sounds like “we want more people to use our product more”, which is a completely reasonable metric for any business, no?

It’s a search engine, so if it’s taking you more queries than previously to find what you’re looking for, that means the quality of the search results has decreased.

Instead of the search team being able to focus on quality as they had been, they were more or less pushed to sabotage the quality of search in order to increase ad revenue.

That’s my understanding, anyway.

I appreciate your optimism.

Kinda sounds like a format similar to Stack Exchange might work

…Huh.

Guess we’re gonna hit the singularity soon or die trying

That got a chuckle. Genuinely curious, how’d that work out for you?

So not really much different from the original ARK then.

It “should” be as easy as a global template inclusion kinda like how wikipedia does donations, but i wouldn’t be surprised if fandom doesn’t allow that to happen

I didn’t know kbin supported direct messaging at all. I’ll have to remember that.

Seems like they started up a cannabis cultivation operation among other things.

It feels Ren and Stimpy-tier, no offense meant but just the style of being overly garish without it being quite as warranted

No offense, but I think the solution is to start expecting slightly more from the end-user again. Fifteen minutes to look over the options in whatever new software you’re using (in general) and you can determine whether the defaults work for you. It should be as normal as switching to dark theme IMO.

the problem with that is primarily to do with irresponsible human stewardship. Food production is already sufficient to end world hunger, we are just (collectively) unwilling to put in the effort to do so as yet. Almost a fifth of global food production goes to waste.

There’s little difference from their perspective.
