There really is no need for this rudeness. I’m sure you can make your point without resorting to this kind of language. Please see rule 3 and let’s try not to turn into reddit (Clarification: I am not a mod or trying to impersonate one. This is just my opinion).

I’m at the “Happy with Windows, thanks” stage.

This feels like the sort of thing a scumbag boss would make a giant print of and hang in an office where he underpays everyone and forces them to work a 60 hour week. I have had bosses like this. I once had a boss force everyone in his little sweatshop business (hidden in a basement in the UK) to write him a grovelling letter begging for their job. He demanded this by speakerphone from his office on the other side of the world. He would have loved this cartoon.

I give up, you win.

You’ve misunderstood me (let’s just say “not deliberately” for a moment). What I’m saying is that regardless of what Google does in terms of long term plans or nuanced anything not all searches are equal. Neither you nor I can say at this point how this will shake out. Also, what have you eaten today? You know what you’re like when you don’t eat…

It might be harder than you think…

What kind of information are you talking about? Let’s be specific. The phone number for a garden center or how a rocket engine works? This won’t affect every search the same way. This is actually a fantastically complex question and we’ll only really see what happens when it does.

This headline is so messed up. AI is making searching easier and more convenient and reducing the amount of clicks (often to zero) you need before you get the information you want. For people searching the web for information that’s a clear improvement. If you make your money from SEO then it sucks but if the headline was “Is Google about to decimate the SEO/PPC industry?” Then we’d be reacting in an entirely different way I imagine.

I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us “it’s going to be zero day heaven!” they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

I remember it so clearly man… The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn’t listen. They don’t ever listen.

I’ll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.
