I've even heard of lawyers being forced to use it.

It is breathtakingly irresponsible.

Kagi has a free trial, but you have to pay, which is the difference between it and early Google.

Of course, now we have Google ads instead, so who knows, maybe not bots.

I hate it when I have to immediately open it and finish it, like a timed coding test, although I don't bother with those because I don't think I've ever passed one...

It wasn't quite obvious marketer-speak, but certain comments have just seemed like not quite the way a regular commenter would word things.

I figured it was regular humans doing it though. Sigh...

I will search for "wellness chicken cat food" - and wellness has chicken cat food in a few different textures, so it seems like those should at least be on the page of search results, if not the top results. Not always so! At the very least I will have to scroll a ways down the page to get anything even wellness.

And sometimes the top results aren't even cat food, they will be random other pet supplies.

Or she wants a few different flavors of the food, and I find one and then the other flavors I have to search a few different ways to pull them up and they don't show up on any "similar" displays.

It's painful. I hope Google doesn't go the same way - I think with Instacart it's because they want to promote whatever it is they put at the top, but even that doesn't explain how terrible some of the search results are.

Also, where she talks about how she sits and works at a computer but that's not where the real work happens. The real work can happen when she's doing something that allows her mind to wander, like cleaning, but her mind is still working in the background.

Sounds like a creative process to me.

I used to be able to load the rewards to my account without logging in at all, just clicked the link in my email, but I guess they fixed that and then I realized I didn't know my password.

Mostly am using firefox these days.
