google sucks without cache

<< < (2/2)

I have to at least partially agree with that video. I've dumped google and gmail well over 10 years ago, and I'm quite happy with the decision. I must be one of the people still living in the wilderness of the internet, as the video mentions.
The searches on Google have become much worse over the years. They give less and less useful information, and having asked on other places like mailing lists and classic forums (like this one) I get answers way faster and way more accurate.

I guess you’ve seen https://archive.org/web/ … might have what you need

Google sucks, but even more without cache.
Before that, they had forum search and other very useful features, but because they're such jerks they did remove them as well.

paulca:
Another video related to the problem.

I have surprisingly enough started to find ChatGPT more useful for finding odd things.

For instance "what Python function do I use to sort a list in descending order?" or "<description of film in early 2000's give me the name>".  To my surprise ChatGPT is really good at finding films based on my illusory memory as a child, which is something Google sucks at.
