Jaja, dijo caca!

ontopic: This debacle started way earlier than when google decided that the "don't be evil" motto was to be removed, methinks.

I've completely stopped using Google since the ChatGPT search Chrome extension came out. That was, what, almost 2 years ago? More? It simply redirects URL-bar searches to ChatGPT (with the web search toggle active) instead of Google, nothing fancy.

I didn't explicitly decide to stop using Google, it just happened, I didn't need it anymore, just like I went from using StackOverflow daily to never opening it again. ChatGPT with search is just better (at least ChatGPT Plus). Granted, it is noticeably slower to get a first result, but end-to-end it's a much faster way to find your answer.

I don't disagree - yet their share price hit ATH this month.

That's how you know that our economy is not really working to the benefit of most of us - because all the numerous ways to profit by fucking people up, from dark patterns to mass layoffs, are rewarded financially.

Yeah for some reasons it ranks among the first newspaper any times I am looking for some US news. It feels like someone tweaked the algorithm for money.

oddly this "caca" felt more visceral to me that most "poop"'s or "shit"'s I've seen in a bit. summoned an image instantly. probably just surprise - good choice!

reminds me of a blackhat presentation of a web crawler

two young gentlemen introduced it as "caca", seemingly an acronym for sth, but they just couldn't help themselves and kept chuckling for next five minutes.

"Caca" is more kiki and "poop" is more bouba.

"Caca" means shit in a bunch of languages (at least as a term used with children, but not only, in Romanian, French, etc), that's probably the reason.
