  • Any speculation at this point without having all the details could affect the outcome of the investigation. More details may become available once the investigation is complete,” Lt. Col. Addie Leonhardt, Army Reserve spokesperson, said in the statement.

    The fuck? This happened 17 years ago, how much time you need to investigate?

    Edit: well shit, I have to learn to read .

  • I think the reality is, "boomer" as a term is here to stay and a moving target: as gen x ages into 40+

    This is a nitpick, but gen x moved into the 40+ age group long ago. As a gen Xer I'll be in my 50's later this year. 🤮

    And yeah, doom is peak Gen X probably.

  • Boogie. Not a favorite of mine and hated the Francis stuff, but I used to watch some of his gaming videos. He did his weight loss surgery about the same time as a relative so found that interesting. But good lord it's been a descent since then,all of it self inflicted. Be it saying something stupid, firing a gun within city limits while getting into a pissing match with some other YouTube idiot, or losing his money in crypto. It's hard to imagine someone that's fallen further than him.

    Watched the documentary on him last month and then went through his channel and it was embarrassing.

  • Microsoft's search engine is nowhere near as good as Google's.

    I don't know... Googles search was clearly better five years ago. They clearly still have dominant market share, but they have been shitting up search results the last few years in the name of monetization a lot. I haven't found their results to be better than bing, at least not by a lot.

    Their algorithm is still good, as if I use a search engine that sources from Google, the results are typically what I would expect. But from Google itself, the results have sponsored content barfed all over actual results and it takes a little effort to find what I was searching for.

    I have gone on to alternative search engines and been so much happier. I will fallback on Google when I need to, but it's been extremely rare.

  • They really weren't that effective with Microsoft then either. The antitrust was far too late for Netscape and allowed Microsoft to hold a dominate market share with IE until they allowed the browser to deprecate and Google came in with a much better browser and took over the browser market (and are now doing the same bullshit).

    As long as we keep giving these companies meaningless fines or wait until the damage is irreversible companies are going to always push the limit and look at any repercussions as just a cost of doing business.

    So yeah, not much faith in anything changing.
