I #member my school teacher telling us about this search engine trying to give more results in less time than #askjeeves, called google

“When my husband asks something i don’t know, i say we should google it! It’s already a verb in our family”

We were all like lol laaaaaame not using the shit

Fast forward a few years and everyone’s deeply reliant on that company for just about all aspects of #cyberexistence (that’s not a word? Wtf)

Fast forward moar and “de-googling” is a fairly common aspiration since they’re unabashedly fucking evil now

Funny how that stuff works. Also idk who needs to hear this but mapquest.com is still a website 🥲

~~"Don't be evil"~~

TIL amethyst doesn't support markdown.

It's funny they used to have to remind themselves to not be evil, then they just forgot.

“Forgot” 😅

Idk man, i am pretty sure it was a choice to ditch that motto

They forgot to remind themselves to not be evil

Wait i think it does. Might just be due to the immediately adjacent punctuation? See here nostr:note1esyqukggkzcesqvccrjd5l9j6vvlvecanzf72n0mxw49rzy4ch6skna8aw

~~don't be evil~~

Not gonna lie. Sounds like I need to stack some sats is what you’re saying. I’m in.

You get me 🤝
