not quite, by 2020 the part of Google that cared about the quality of the results fully lost to those who only care about maximizing ad revenue

so they made it worse on purpose to get you to search more, and set the stage for the SEO abuse takeover

genuinely impressive given how lots of apps (and increasingly more of them, but afaik messaging apps generally still fall behind?) seem to require iOS 16 or later nowadays

even taking the pretense at face value, this would just be adults damning kids who are queer, autistic and/or in abusive households/communities (among others) and patting themselves on the back

always scrambling to “protect” kids without ever considering their needs or why they engage in the behavior they do at all

(assuming they’re not just seen as defective goods to be either “corrected” or disposed of, of course)

Normally I keep a phone until severe hardware failure (spicy pillow, broken digitizer, not charging…)

The only thing that has gotten me to upgrade was the Boox Palma 2 Pro for it’s e-ink display specifically, due to eyestrain from reading on LCD, and my Galaxy A23 5G i received as a gift having its display start falling out (and fear of future storage/ram prices)

(technically almost a phone due SIMs only being supported for mobile data, but i use a flip phone for SIM-based calls/sms anyway)
