OK folks, I'm ready to give up on Duck Duck Go as a search engine. Maps are unusable, and News is 100% articles on MSN skimmed from real sources.

What privacy-first options do I have?

#searchengine #DDG #Googlesucks

Any decent search engines ATM
Is kagi still the go to?

@celesteh I agree search IS broken. Seems like the thing we need is free open source search. Anyone know if this is a current project or where to ask to find out?#search #broken #googlesucks

#Google's Pixel At A Glance weather app has been hassling me for days to change location perms. I finally gave in and set it repeatedly to 'Allow only while using this app'. But it keeps complaining about location perms.
So I tried giving it 'Allow all the time' and that makes #Android bitch this is too much permissions for this app. Can't win, #GoogleSucks #FuckGoogle
Any recommendations for a replacement weather app for Android, preferably from a non Play Store app store like #FDroid?

PSA: remember kids, if something does not work in Firefox, then it works in Firefox in a tracksuit made of Chrome's skin.

(As in change the UA.)

Edit: with the news of Mozilla enshitifying itself, this might be more important than I thought.

We are just determined to bring Skynet into being. So much for Google's old motto, "Do no harm".

Google ending AI arms ban incredibly concerning, campaigners say https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy081nqx2zjo?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

I went to use OverGrive and surprise! Google won't allow it.

Google continues to break things they buy and don't want, things they build and no longer want, things they just can't monetize (with cash or data) enough.
I hates them, dirty, mean, googles.

Google reverse image searches are totally useless. Pretty much every result is something for sale.

Треба пройти верифікацію в Google Play Console, щоб вони не видалили мене з плей маркета. Але, коли вводжу свій номер з'являється помилка 😀

Трошки прикро що втрачу акаунт розробника, може на F-Droid спробую перенести застосунки.

I am having a problem with figuring out the ignore_directories configuration with the sigal gallery maker. I can't seem to get the form correct because the directories (and sub-directories) keep getting into the build.

I have also looked at the docs and for examples, but haven't come across anything. #googlesucks

Savez-vous depuis quand cela dure, car croyant que c'était un problème en local j'ai désinstallé/réinstallé Organic Maps mais sans plus de succès dès qu'on veut se connecter et contribuer.
Il me semble que certains d'entre vous avait parlé de cela il y a qq jours ou semaines.
Des tips pour contourner le problème, sachant que depuis F-Droid ou G**gle-Play j'ai le même soucis...

Aargh it's happened. #YouTube has started inserting 60-second long non-skippable ads into most videos #advertising

I used to see several shorter ads per video, but they were skippable by clicking after 5 seconds

I searched for something yesterday that I knew existed.

Even putting double quotes around a specific keyword, it still split that keyword into two words and provided alternate stuff.

It took me an hour to find what I was looking for.

@simoncox this is absurd. #GoogleSucks

The process of extricating myself from Google's clutches has been... turbulent. Being technically 'capable' hasn't prevented me from wasting countless hours trying to solve problems caused by a combination of Google's villainy and my own imperfect grasp of its machinery.

I feel as though I've spent the last week being sabotaged by an enemy I can't quite get a lock on. I'm tired of it, but I'm even more tired of being Google's b***h. And so I'll press on.
