    What the fuck is wrong with just saying email? It’s been around for decades.

    If someone said to me “Could you crack a Linux” I would walk away slowly and avoid eye contact.

      Yes, all his musings about Trump cracking down on Google aged like fine milk. Everyone who paid attention knew this though. He should keep his mouth shut about politics and do his company a favor

      At the same time, Google hates people using their name generically for web searching because it risks them losing the trademark.

      So I guess I am conflicted, because I hate to acknowledge Google more than I need to, but would love to see the term become meaningless.

        I use DuckDuckGo but say Google for this exact reason. If I’m talking to someone I actually like I usually elaborate to say “Google isn’t the search engine I actually use because it’s sus, but you know what I mean”

      Pretty sure “to google” means to search for something and get nothing but ads, bad answers, and frustration now. Dunno why anyone would want that.

      Or maybe it means “to create a cool product then kill it while it’s still popular.”

      Luckily I find it pretty easy to avoid using brand names and just use the plain old verb.

      Search it for me. Look it up. Message me. Send it to me, I’ll send this back to you. Set up a call, a meeting, a video call.

    Would be better if this had serious suggestions. But to add a serious one, please say something like “content blocker” instead of “adblocker”; you’re not freeloading by blocking ads, you’re choosing to not connect to unwanted privacy-hostile content with your computer and internet connection, as you should.
