Not related to the article, totally anecdotal, and n=1, but it seems Google Maps has really dropped the ball as well.

Cannot confirm.

I use google maps regularly, and it mostly works fine.

However, google search engine (and youtube recommendations) have gone on a steeply downhill rollercoaster ride. Nowadays, I have difficulty researching even the most basic topics on Google, because it is so clustered with ads that I cannot tell anymore whether any website is genuine or trying to scam me.

As in? For me, Google search is a joke, but Google maps and mail at least still work reasonably well.

How so? Genuinely curious.

Not related to anything but I showered this morning and my feet already smell of sweaty feet.

I don't get why it just doesn't work in some browsers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The fact that it doesn't work the same in every browser sounds a lot like anti-competitive fuckery.
