Yep, this is how they trick people into inadvertently using their shitty ai Spyware. Welcome to the future, yay. Fuck Google and Samsung.

Same. It should be illegal for them to be forcing this shit on us. At least I only have to endure it on my work pc. No windows on personal devices

I suddenly have a love for Japan and want to live there among my 2000s tech hoard

Because they’re not brain dead idiots perhaps ?

I definitely notice that wonder has died with a lot of people. Luckily I try to be a luddite and enjoy life without tech as well as with. Still have tons of books. Shut the internet off every so often.

Lots of people addicted. Never had it, thought it was stupid when it came out.

Im just skeptical of it, since similar solutions exist with briar, matrix, Irc, signal…sure theyre not all the same, but I fail to see how something a crypto scammer is trying to push could be good.

Hope they lose billions!!

I can’t keep browser hopping. I want to stay with firefox. Please don’t get worse!

Seems rehashed, with more enshittification likely to be baked in. Typical tech bros.

Well, it can’t clean toilets or build roads, so you can still do that for your elite billionaire overlords, and they may give you a prison cell to exist in!

Yep, and who owns the models? Billionaires. What are billionaires always? Conservatives. It isn’t hard to connect the dots on why this path is not a good one.

Its HIGHLY addictive, especially to idiots. They feel smart using it. Which is so ironic I can’t stand it.

Odd how this affects laptops. My desktop works perfectly with suspend, far better than It ever did with windows.

That is awesome. A little beyond me but I’ve played in docker a bit. Is a VPN needed to keep your ip from being exposed ?

Is just using an existing searxng instance just less secure then?

Hopefully unintalling and disabling is actually doing something. I feel like they are just tricking us and you can’t really disable it.

Im going to look into this. What’s the benefit of hosting your own searxng instance?

Yea, people don’t even have computers now. Its happy tap the phone and love the Google, return to monke. We are the .00000001 percent.

As everyone here will say. Go with linux mint. Haven’t used windows in months now and when I do need to its generally way more of a pain to do anything. Plus. Ms wants to shove their shitty ai in my face at all times (so they can recoup the billions they’ve most pouring into a buzzword). So I refuse to use it.

You will need to have a learning curve with linux. Is basically a German car:" oh wow, this is so genius I love how this was designed! "And then “why the hell do i need a custom 12 pt socket to get this one bolt and why is it completely inaccessbile just to change a brake rotor”

Yep I only use wired…
