When it's laid out like that it's kind of crazy how much I need Google in my life.

Not sure about Bing as a replacement for Google Search though, I'd be broke.

I personally dont use much of that.. only:
maps, analytics (on a few domains), chrome here and there.. also got an android phone with a 'fake' account (so not using it for mails etc)

I concluded how instead boycotting google is better to leach them :D Tho, i use yahoo mostly for searching, it's not that different anyway.

King Mark · 01-13-2020, 04:46 AM

I stopped resisting and jumped head first into the Google universe. The convenience is amazing. All of my businesses are maintained through Google services one way or another, my Pixel 4XL being my office(s). I sleep great every night.

Infact, my Google home mini should be arriving any day now. #ThanksSpotify

Nextcloud, looking at thier pricing, is far from a viable alternative to google drive.

Can't go wrong with Bing, it's actually dramatically improved since it first came out. They also pay about $60 a year in Amazon giftcards just for searching normally.

Hopefully people start giving it more of a chance, Bing has the best results for porn searches and as a result I spend a lot of time optimizing my sites for bing.

I have a pair here that are perfect for you.I bought them as a present for someone but they never will get used. They are not the type I use either.
Free if you want them.

This is the main reason why most people won't switch....... unified experience AKA convenience

Back in 2006 or so I had some top terms in live or Bing. Whatever it was then. And made mad bank. Today those same terms and spots in Bing pay about $100 a month. Google has dominated search.

What I do is once in a while I buy like 80-100 pairs of identical black cotton socks, and toss out ALL my old socks regardless of condition they are in. I just ordered today actually, cheap shit that was like 40 cents euro a pair (I've used these before).

This way if one gets a hole, I always have a pair because they are all identical. I never have to look for a pair, because they are all identical.

One less thing to worry about, one less thing to piss you off in the morning.
