Sometimes I wish I had the average person’s ignorance towards IT issues. Every time I tell my wife or friends who are not in It about some new problem, like AI training on user data, or companies doing cross-service tracking for detailed user profiling, they just shrug and keep scrolling through Instagram. Ignorance is bliss.
@rene I always think this when people give me the side eye for using DDG instead of Google for search.
I don't even proselytise about it except when they actively complain to me about Google and I point out that their problem doesn't exist on DDG, and then they still treat me the way I treat vegans
@nicklockwood I use Kagi and tried to get my wife to use it too. Switched to a family plan, installed the search extension on her phone and let it use Kagi by default. After two month or so I found out she used the “!g” query every time to redirect the Kagi query to Google, because “they have reviews for stores”. I don’t even.
