eh, ddg is equally bad with it insisting it knows better than me what my query is and “fixing” it, leaving me to have to either fix it or click a link telling it “yes I really did want to search for that and not what you assumed”

eh, ddg is equally bad with it insisting it knows better than me what my query is and “fixing” it, leaving me to have to either fix it or click a link telling it “yes I really did want to search for that and not what you assumed”
DDG keeps changing my search query because its “not returning a lot of results” or because it thinks I typo’d and it is infuriating to me, sometimes it doesnt even inform me that it did, not even giving me a link to click to get to my actual search query
'also noticed that it got worse around the same time google did
this worked wonders for me
then bullet journals lost its “new” factor and now its dusting in the corner w all the other calendars, organisers, diaries and notebooks I tried to start
this one hits hard
I’m not so much in favor of IP law as I am in favor of informed consent in every aspect of the word.
when posting photos, art and text content years ago, I was not able to imagine it might be trained off by an AI. As such I was not able to make a decision based on informed consent if I agreed to that or not.
Even though quotes such as “once you post it, its on the internet forever” were around, I was not aware the extend to which this reached and that had my art been vacuumed by a generative AI model (it hasnt luckily) people could create art that pretends to be created by me. Thus I could not consent
I think this goes for a lot of artists actually, especially those who exist far more publicly than I do, who are in those databases and who are a keyword to be used in prompts. There is no possible way they could have given informed consent to that at the time they posted art/at the time they started that social media profile/youtube channel etc.
To me, this is the real problem. I could care less about corporations.
can’t violate the prime direggtive
which part of “no negotiations possible” do you not get?
I would like a more granular choice, acccessibility is not something I can give up, I don’t care sites can fingerprint me with it
resist fingerprinting resets zoom levels because its used as a way to fingerprint, sites can get zoom levels and the idea is to blend into the crowd
that said, I share your frustration, I have to disable Resist Fingerprint because of that, the persistent zoom levels are an accessibility requirement for me, no negotiations possible.
Ideally Resist Fingerprinting would allow for more granular options because while I understand the “blending into the crowd” aspect of the option as it is now, it just doesn’t work like this for me and many others with accessibility needs, and that should be addressed
(also replying so I remember to check back for replies, sorry for the ramble, Resist Fingerprinting as it is now annoys me)
you’re right, I kinda let past experiences cloud my judgment for a bit there, and missed that you were doing the right thing,my apologies for that
sadly the fact that I did does point to the very problem I described.
that said I hope you can get somewhere and improve things, my apologies for the mix up
because a lot of foss devs, contributers and even users are so extremely hostile when suggesting ux improvement/report bugs/etcetc for end users not like them that frankly I dont wanna bother. Same reason I don’t report bugs
maybe first tackle that situation before you ask people to throw themselves into what effectively is a lion’s den to mauled by fossbros who can’t get over themselves
that is not true, at least in mastodon’s case. Mastodon has unlisted, followers only and direct messages those are visible for the instance admins if your account federates to them. That is concerning. I don’t need Zuck to suck up my private posts
I think people should know those are just mutes
its like that on mastodon too, user domain blocks won’t actually protect you from harassment or your data being vacuumed
thank you, I’m glad you went with the short answer, leaving absolutely no room for doubt or discussion
this is good, I’m tired of the endless discussions full of goalposts being moved
I’m not a she but otherwise yes I agree
for the end user, that is irrelevant
all of these arguments are great and all but as an enduser: I just want things to work
I don’t care about the why’s or hows. A lot of these arguments explain and justify breakage
I am an enduser. I expect things to work, specifically I expect the programs I already use to continue working. I expect to lose no functionality
If they don’t work, then clearly its broken. If I lose functionality, Wayland clearly wasn’t ready
I use a trackball mouse for disability reasons. I have to actively slow my cursor movement to a crawl and deliberately slowly click each square otherwise I fail captcha’s
it’s infuriating
doesn’t matter that you are mentally il, that doesn’t change anything, you don’t have to stoop so low and go for an adhominem
the day it got leaked I tried it and I can verify that it works. They probably fixed it already I’m guessing
