It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

Oh my god that's amazing. Instructions on how to do what you're literally doing, dead internet theory is so correct. Instructions for robots by robots

Okay, totally off topic...what is it with this annoying trend of censoring a company/name with an asterisk when it's a subject of ire? It just bugs me - and not in a way that focuses my anger to Microsoft.

I like the classic Usenet “Micro$oft.” Producers of Microshaft Wind-blows.

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Don't forget Microshit's renowned Orifice software suite!

With stuff like Tesla and Twitter, it can keep away the weird nerds who search those terms in hopes of white-knight-sealioning a conversation into oblivion. I think it just became part of the lexicon.

The inverse of this is that people who filter out specific words in their feeds will be tricked into seeing it. You get to piss off 2 groups of people by doing it!

It conveys "I have such a disdain for that thing that I'm asterisking its name like it was a slur or swear word".

I'm not a big fan either, even if you can find some secondary roles for that (as keeping someone from finding it, like ilinamorato exemplified). It distracts the reader from what is being said to the author's personal opinion about what is being said.

How is Softonic still allowed to advertise it's literally Malware

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just so I understand. I should not be downloading anything from there?

I clicked a link just yesterday, but something felt off so I backed out and went to the MSI page to download afterburner.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

No never. Softonic repackages existing programs with a malware bundle.

And to add insult to injury...

People are going to see this, so here's the answer.

Logitech's web UI is crap. See that tiny, unlabled triangle on the list on the left?

Click it and pick your OS version.

Then you get the download.

Next time just go directly to the domain. You don't need to rely on a search engine for all web navigation, you know.

💸 Microsoft 🤑 got 💰 paid 🫰 so... they managed to come out ahead of this whole ordeal just fine.

The rest of us can go suck a bag of dicks for all they care.
