Holy shit are you that hacker 4chin?

Yep I've been changing the default cursor since the Windows 3.1 days. I even used to make my own in MSPaint. Works when you save it as an .ico file.

These days the default selection is good enough for me. Personally I'm fond of the black cursor.

Full sentences have been a sign of lack of computer literacy.

Like you, I wonder if that’s changing.

I’ll note I might be more likely to use a full sentence when I’m making a voice assistant look something up, but even still I’ll probably phrase it minimally first before speaking.

Edit: looking at my image, does ruin the meme.

alt-text: searches for “dragon scimitar mouse cursor” & “remove mouse cursor adware”, ten minutes apart

Search results have gotten worse over time, presumably because people have traditionally been so impolite with their queries. Be polite to your search engine, you may just get better results.

For the most part, I wouldn’t change anything about the queries in the OP. It’s pretty representative of what I’d type.

I’m sure you could get similar results with “remove virus guide” but I guess I prefer to use language/sentences that are highly likely to match what’s found on the sites.

I’d probably end up with “how to remove virus Windows reddit”, find out the answer is nuke it from orbit, then I’d have to search about how to safely get files from virus computer.

On the other hand, for simple stuff, I absolutely do stuff like “Jupiter radius”

I’ve seen the cursors and the emoji packs as banner ads in the last 5 years, still looking as obnoxious as they did back then. Hadn’t changed a bit.

Also have randomly been hit by a “CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON!” a few times. Still the exact same crunchy audio, just offering a newer shiny.
