@daringfireball –

As though headlines weren't already flawed enough.

(I think it's been true for a while now, but I just realized that Google has become my "only when I have to because the results seem occasionally better than DuckDuckGo and I haven't found the answer yet" search engine; and then there's still visually navigating around the ads and LLM-first stuff.)
