Not my wallpapers!
When I quit at McDonalds to start a career in welding, the owner of the store happened to be visiting. He took me aside and told me “You know, those guys at… (Sorry, what was that place called again? Right…) You know, I’ve heard the people there aren’t as nice as we are here. Are you sure you want to leave?”
I’ve never wanted to punch an old man so much in my life. In that moment, he was the personification of class warfare to me, trying to “trick” me into throwing away my future just so he could have more cheap labour. And the fact it was so blatantly obvious added insult to, well… insult.
Anyway, it’s not the same, but the “wallpapers” thing definitely gives me the same vibes, lol.
When I quit my supermarket job after getting my accounting degree my manager tried to convince me to stay, saying they had plans to promote me into management and eventually I could work my way into a head office position.
Umm, no thanks, I think I’ll take the job that I’ve been working towards getting for years.
Jeez, at least offer assistant to the manager on the spot!
The xiaomi wallpaper carousel is the worst piece of soft on my phone, I don’t care and no you can’t have all those accesses.
Had to install some freeware to just set the backgrounds wtf is this, the way they are getting people now??
Literally used adb to forcefully remove it… It reinstalled itself. Bruh
What’s adb?
Apple desktop bus. Not sure how it is used in this manner, however
Microsoft is offering wallpapers, ask Google what it’s offering before you make the decision.
Violations of privacy. Microsoft has that too though, so unless Google has wallpapers they need to step up their game.
So stay with Microsoft. Since they’re already spying on you through their OS-integrated malware, having them spy on you through their search engine isn’t a big deal at this point.
Apart from the search engines being both shitty, here there’s nothing wrong
If you installed an extension to use bing search, what you want is to use bing search, not Google. So of course the extension has to say “don’t switch”
There’s also a good point on chrome’s side. There’s extensions that will switch your default search engine without your consent, so having the possibility to undo directly is nice.
Another way to see it, would be to switch chrome for firefox, Google search for duck duck go, and bing to qwant. Same story, but no shitty companies clouding judgements
Why would anyone in 2024 honestly switch to google products.
They are worse than microsoft, and that takes effort.
Well when the alternative is Bing quality search results, Google still has a slight edge.
That gap is closing by the day tho.
That gap has flipped. Bing never told me to put glue on pizza or to jump off a bridge if depressed.
It is telling you to eat that deadly mushroom though.If you are referring to the gemini ai model that identified a deadly mushroom as a button mushroom, then that is also google.
You Chrome folks need extensions to use non-Google search engines?
Firefox uses just bog standard OpenSearch definitions. No shenanigans. Ships with both Google and Bing if you’re into that sort of things. And you can add arbitrary search URLs, no probalo.
