Google better give me a fucking way to turn that fucking "AI" off in the search results, because by god, they somehow managed to make the top of the results 10 times worse.
Props for that I guess.

Soon we will just google to get our google, no more results.

• Apple removed disc drives from their machines at a critical junction in time in their fucked up race to be E V E R T H I N N E R

• this made Microsoft go "hey, if the overpriced hipster bullshit brand isn't doing drives any longer, we don't need to go to any efforts either, so let's not pay for that bluray license"

• which means there's no easy way to play bluray media on a computer without installing garbage bloatware rootkit third party software, so most people don't bother

• streaming ghouls swoop in backed by vulture capital

• everyone pats themselves on the back that "nobody's buying physical media any longer, but it's fine, streaming will solve the problem forever"

• having gotten a big enough foothold, streaming ghouls stop offering actually interesting stuff

• you can't actually watch a large swathe of movies and TV series any longer, because where are you going to find the physical media?
