Google’s Preferred Sources feature goes live: Is it the change the search engine needs?

Google has launched a change on their search engine which will change the way in which you interact with the news.

Google now allows you to choose your preferred sources. According to Android Authority, this is a response to the AI spam sites that have been clogging up the news feeds on Google.

Is this better?

I believe that Google should have put such a feature many years ago on their site. The inability to filter out specific websites without using advanced search shows that they were just riding on advertising revenue. They did not care to actually improve the search engine and were just making patches here and there just to keep people content.

There are many problems with Google News even with the changes. For many years, Google has not even bothered to curate. Many times I will come across a site which has a paywall preventing me from even reading it.

Another issue is that the quality of the writing is much worse than what you will see on social media. Google’s inability to integrate with social media is going to bite them in the back here.

It’s a pretty small change which will have a big impact. However, they will need to do more to get the search engine back on track and more reliable.

Battlefield V and the beauty of its graphics

Battlefield V, the newest version of the series’ depiction of World War II shows the power of the FrostByte engine. Unlike the original Battlefield 1942, the Pacific War maps are less of empty islands with some trees here and there and the foliage is much denser than in that 2002 Game. This of course means that the game is prettier but more difficult as you have constantly keep looking for enemies in the bush and for newer players without context, this is much more difficult game.

However, in spite of its difficulty, Battlefield 5 brings new life into World War 2 games which were getting somewhat stale. The Pacific War was tough to represent in the past but now it can get the attention that was always missing in this genre. Battlefield V is love letter to the old games while also building a foundation for upcoming and future games. This is what the video game industry needs to achieve. Stay away from politicization and focus on refining the art.

Can Outlander Blood of My Blood be a success and stand on its own?

Outlander: Blood of My Blood is going to be released on Starz on August 8th, and it will be a prequel to the time travel romance series, Outlander. The reason why I was attracted to this series is because of my love for history and romance combining together. The main character, Claire, is not a loudmouth but someone who has great maturity which is often missing in many characters in cinema now. The series is an oddity among series in that it is historical series spanning many centuries and somehow it manages to get renewed multiple times without not having lost its vigor. Unlike Game of Thrones, Outlander hasn’t really given up on its original vision that began in Season 1.

Can Outlander Blood of My Blood be its own series?

The series is a prequel, taking place in the early 1710s vs the 1740s of the original series. The modern era in the series is also taking place in World War I vs the immediate post-war era of World War II in the original series.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood is looking like it is going to be great addition to the story of the series but can it really stand on its own?

There are always issues with prequels. One issue is that they have to tie into the existing canon, and this can cause problems for fans of the previous stories.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood seems to have a good area to start with. It is staying true to its own previous stories, rather than making changes which would alienate the Outlander book readers and the ones who have watched the TV series.

In my opinion, the series can stand on its own but it is going to have to be coherent and have good writing and acting just as any other production would require.

Outlander: Blood of my Blood will get stronger when it goes to the 1st Jacobite Uprising.

The historical background of the Outlander series which is the Jacobite struggle will have an impact on the narrative on this story.

We shall see how the series does when it released but for now, the most important aspect for the early seasons is how they link up the three Jacobite Risings in the narrative here.
