    1. Google is now far from being the best;
    2. Bring back #babelfish and/or #altavista;
    3. Meanwhile, grateful we have #duckduckgo ☺️

  2. @txgx42 "Ausgedehnen Hoch Dichte"? Did they use a prerelease of the #Altavista #Babelfish for this translation?
    ("Ausgedehnen" would be in "perfect infinitive" form, if such a thing existed; amazingly, Google still lists 1560 hits on an inexistant word)

    BTW: "Ausgedehnt hohe Dichte" or "Erweiterte hohe Dichte" would be better translations.

  3. #Mastodon: Well, I have only been here for three days, but it feels very much like 1994 all over again: That first hesitant email, those first adventurous clicks on pre-#Google internet search engines. Remember grappling with these?
