This is a twofer.

Combatant 1: Google.

Once every time period of questionable length, Google gives me an Android pop-up that I can’t dismiss. This is to “comply” with the EU law. They want me to be extra sure of my rights to choose and want to know which search engine I’m using for the Android search widget and Chrome.

Well, as a matter of fact, I use Google! So I tell them that. I hope it makes them happy.

Combatant 2: ME

…I fucking hate the Android search bar and I’m this close to installing an alternative launcher just to get rid of it.

Also I use Firefox.

(What do you call it when there’s two parties who want the same thing, but there’s an arbitrary pointless grudge that both of them can see?)
