I really can't get over the way almost every piece of consumer technology/software has gotten worse in the last half decade. These companies are killing every goose they can get their hands on because they are so convinced there is some golden goose out there that will be worth more than all those regular geese combined.

Half decade? Its been getting worse for as long as I’ve been conscious.

Eh. I understand the vibe, but so many millions of things have gotten so, so much better in my lifetime.

We could spend all day trying to list them, if we tried.

in other words, the entire american society depends on tools completely under capricious control of a few people who barely care about them. nobody might care about google news. i don't, because I've seen what the article describes happen years ago. honesty I'm shocked the author could use it until now. but imagine gmail going the way of the way of gplus. or cloudflare saying they will only allow iphone traffic tomor…

let's see if anyone has the courage to propose 1Bi of the genius bill to fund the internet archive

Has Google news ever worked in the past decade? All I've ever seen is just the same tabloid-style articles any time I've searched it. Like literally 0 sources of even minimal repute have ever shown for me.

Are my settings somehow broken?

Arguably a little longer, its just compounded, Windows peaked at 8 and 10 was downhill spiral, 11 is just all the bad stuff that 10 had available out of the box.

I’ve never heard someone claim windows peaked at 8, at least 7.

It feels like that should be a golden opportunity for competitors, but every time a competitor makes a decent replacement, the big tech company either buys it or briefly invests in their product again to make it good enough and since they have a long tail of users and the network effect, they win by default while still keeping their product mediocre

One of the only actual levers in society is interest rates and let me tell you, the current state does not favor those who just want to have a sustainable business.
