Part of why internet search sucks is that many gave up trying in the face of Google. (lemmy.world)

Pseudo-monopolies are great at extinguishing imagination like that, and tbh Google search (as I understand its basic setup) was only as good as it was thanks to timing and few really good competitors.

Instead of bothering to constructively correct me

To quote a certain highly educated someone, we’re not in /c/technology nor a tech themed instance, it’s a showerthought post (so the vibe should be casual), so why would we go into technical details? maybe learn to read a room?

your entire entry into the convo was pretty condescending for no apparent reason

Except the stated one....

Usually people educate themselves on a topic before trying to talk about it as if they have a clue.

People are not gonna bother educating someone who won't educate themselves, especially when what is said is so completely incorrect they have no idea where to even begin.
