Google is a publicly traded advertising company with quarterly goals and a track record of lying about their AI offerings. "Google" used to be synonymous with finding things, now "Google" is synonymous with enshittification. The only thing keeping Google's search offerings relevant is monopolistic behavior and inertia.

182cm and satisfied though I wouldn't mind playing around with different heights for a day. Like being 10cm tall so I could play with my daughter as one of her toys. Or being 10m tall so I could clean my gutters.

Yes Madam fits the Indian government's definition of small enterprise (small business). But even if it wasn't you shouldn't be posting bogus rage bait articles. I initially gave you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't trying to be malicious but now I'm less sure giving you're doubling down, focusing on red herrings, and not addressing my main point which is to verify what you're posting. Let's not turn Lemmy into Facebook.

The truth never spreads as far as the lie. You didn't even use the "allegedly" qualifier in your post title. I doubt you were being deliberately malicious but unsubstantiated claims like this can destroy small businesses. There are dozens of examples of this happening.

TIL about waterway charts! I've only ever used maritime charts, even when traversing canal systems. I'm going to see if I can find up to date waterway charts for my local area.

The boring dystopia in this post is that this screenshot is spreading but this story still hasn't been verified. The only "news stories" I've seen about this just cover people's reactions to the screenshot. I hope Lemmy doesn't become just another platform filled with ragebait.

It's scary that some people's first instinct to get reliable information is to ask Facebook. But to be fair, government websites are usually difficult to get navigate and Google search is useless nowadays.

It is impossible to accurately quantify how many deaths and human years lost can be directly attributed to Brian Thompson. UnitedHealthcare themselves may have some data but there are also indirect deaths and shortened life spans as a result of denied or delayed treatment.
