Since and aren't working as is down, instead of going to , perhaps check out https://searchengine.party/ instead and find an alternate engine.

To set a search engine as your default, visit the site and right click the URL bar, and select add. Then change your default in settings.

(Firefox will add it as an option in the default engines in settings. Chrome will open settings with it as an "inactive shortcut" which you can "make default" in the entry's menu.)

[UPDATE: Added a screenshot]

From Reddit, here’s a test for Google…

Go to Google search, type:

“which us presidents earned degrees from UW Madison”

No quotes. That’s a really really wrong answer. Anyone else see this?

This just unvetted source material? That’d be a red flag for their AI, yeah?

When you've spent several days noting incredibly privacy invasive new "AI" features being pushed by and that are so nightmarish that nobody wants to believe they're real, but they are. Sorry dear friends, you're already awake.

People, calm down!

I was triggered at first as well, but after giving it more thought, I agree with Redmond.

rightfully CANNOT blur or encrypt your passwords because doing so would require that Microsoft be a content moderator, returning your data to their Seattle mothership in order to do so.

That is a level of surveillance no one should be comfortable with.

Then again, you have given 20 years access to your email inbox, so...

Nothing to see here.

Mosey along.

Imagine what an anti-abortion red state or a fascist Trump administration (or some other future evil administration) would do with features like 's "recording everything you do on your PC" and the and Microsoft plans to listen in on your private phone calls.

I don't give a damn if these firms claim the data is stored on the devices. Devices can be confiscated, stolen, or courts can order pretty much anything done with that data.

These firms are selling us all down the river with this stuff.

has blocked at least three videos that show viewers how to evade military service after it received a request from the Russian authorities, the investigative news outlet Agentstvo reported Monday.

Removing content related to human rights at the request of the Russian government and not because it violates Google’s content policies marks a “new trend,” Agentstvo said, citing an unnamed cybersecurity expert.

AI voice assistant with the Peanut’s adult voice

@agiletortoise HAL. An AI voice needs to be HAL. I tried to get to hire Douglas Rain for the time needed to record the necessary material, but I couldn't convince them. I got the feeling they didn't want an optional Google Assistant voice that was known for killing astronauts on deep space missions. No imagination.
