Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Yeah, I know people were talking about Google getting really really bad by like 2018, and honestly I experienced almost no changes in day to day usage up until they decided to just forcibly mainline the Lying Machine into every search which was only 2 years ago.

I haven't used Google in more than a decade, when they changed '-' to stop meaning strictly exclude but duckduckgo increasingly has this problem.
