        Google thinks Shorts-style videos in the Play Store will supercharge app discovery

        Yeah that’s exactly what it needs. I was starting to worry I could still see the actual search results even with the ads, “limited time events”, more ads, “you might also like”, and “similar apps” sections crammed into the search results.

          So we will be bombarded with Tiktoks all day long? I am beginning to think Ted Kaczynski was right.

            @Gators1 “It will render dozens of coal fired power plants obsolete”
            Otherwise said: It will render dozens of wind turbines obsolete…

            Now if they could only make batteries that thin and powerful.

                    Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 15 in just a few days, and it’s widely expected to come with a significant change.

                    They had made up their own cable to gouge their customers, but commie EU made them use USB C.

                      Apple is fighting France’s claims that the iPhone 12 surpasses European radiation exposure limits after French regulators on Tuesday ordered a pause on sales and a fix to phones already sold to customers.

                        TikTok has quietly been inserting Wikipedia snippets into search results

                        TikTok has quietly been inserting Wikipedia snippets into search results

                        The company says the feature has been live for months.

                        I don’t know if I’m pleased that TikTok is doing this or horrified that the portal to the entire internet beyond TikTok for a lot of young people is TikTok search.

                              @Gators1. That and three inch eye lashes. I’m sure TikTok will show how to do it at home.

                                          Mwmbl - Search

                                          An open source, non-profit, search engine with beautifully minimalist search results that returned exactly the only 6 links that exist on the obscure topic I just tested it with.

                                          When I saw it I almost wept (figuratively) after wrestling with Bing all day where it insists on shoe horning, massive and useless AI responses (and ads for the useless AI responses) into the first page results.

                                          It’s a pity that “mwmbl” is going to die on the vine because its creator idioticly gave it a name you can’t pronounce and won’t remember how to spell.
