    Didn’t really mean it’s fine. More that I’ve accepted it. I really hope it changes but almost nobody cares enough about these things to stop using Google. Even when better alternatives exist, they rather have the convenience of default options.

    Microsoft built their empire on simular foundations. Made a product that is pre-installed on all computers, forcing everyone to pay them money to own a laptop. It’s brilliant financially. Windows is even free now, and it’s funded by the collection of people’s private, sensitive data.

    It is 1984 but we don’t actually care. :)
