I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced...

Yet another reason why people shouldn’t be using Brave.

I don’t think you’re replying to my comment though, I never mentioned nor used Vivaldi.

Edit: brainfart, my bad.

Vivaldi slipped my mind, my bad. No need for that tone though.

@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated and have a great day.

On topic, I have no opinion on Vivaldi, never used it. But then again I’ve been on Firefox for the last 15 years so… I’m a bit of a lost cause!

Yeah that’s the issue with them, their products are not that bad at first glance and they have a lot of evangelists online (it was particularly egregious on reddit but it is still the case here). I wasn’t throwing any shade at you.

Search engines pretty much all suck nowadays. I’ve stuck with DDG lately, but they also have their issues apparently.

Wait there are other ways to write a resume?

I do too, by embedding a pdf :p.

Oh, maybe I should try mathjax…

So much this. Our rightwing is hellbent on importing every single moral panic from the US to detract from their blunders and authoritarianism.

Because Muslims are increasingly marginalised, disenfranchised and used as a scapegoat for everything that goes bad?

magnor ,
@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

Pretty sure the OP was a troll, actually.

Anyhow, if you want specifics, we currently have 90 far right MPs in Congress and even our “centrist” government and the “classic right” seem to have decided muslims are to blame for everything. This includes and is not limited to :

  • banning “muslim adjacent” wear like abbayas from schools ;
  • a broad offensive to remove pork free meals from school lunches in some cities ;
  • à brutal crackdown on any pro Palestinian action, including summons from anti terrorism units that have targeted union leaders, students and leftwing MPs ;
  • targeting of muslim private schools for closure whereas radical catholic schools are absolutely fine even when they teach gay people are all rapists (see Lycée Stanislas for a very striking example) ;
  • repeated incidents of police disproportionately targeting muslims ;
  • a general attitude of paranoia regarding anything muslim : last year our Home Office equivalent actually asked primary schools to provide a list of pupils that missed class because of specifically muslim religious holidays.

I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of things. But also, I can see everyday around me how hard muslim people, but also any arab looking person, have it in the public eye. The far right is on the rise politically but also socially. Anything that “does not belong”, be it LGBTQ, non white people, etc is increasingly targeted by pressure groups of "concerned citizens ", “protector of the peace,”, “defender of children” and so on. It worries me. A lot.

Yeah you’re right, as long as they only victimise and kill their own people it’s JUST FINE.

Communism is a political philosophy which in and of itself does not advocate for oppression. There is indeed nothing wrong with it, at least if you advocate for freedom of thought.

The Stalinist version of authoritarianism has been conflated with communism by american (mostly) media during the cold war. It is however a very specific ideology.

Apologists for authoritarian regimes, whatever their political leaning, deserve no platform or tolerance. Plurality of thought however is needed and essential.

Side note, this is also the French spelling of Putin. So you can eat Poutine while being mad at Poutine (I’ll let you guess which is which, unless you’re a cannibal then everything goes TBF).

magnor ,
@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

Yep, especially when they come from different alphabets. But we used to do it for English names too (mostly medieval ones though).

@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

Nah, that is actually a slang for sex workers, who do not deserve to be associated to Putin.

Don’t give him ideas. He’ll go there and do a BHL.

The fact that this is actually legal makes me glad to live in the EU. Damn, this shit is bleak.

After boots on the ground comment, French PM doubles down: 'Putins troops are already in our country', pointing at Le Pen (www.lemonde.fr)

By raising for the first time the idea of sending troops to Ukraine, the French leader “has taken a further step toward belligerence,” blasted his rival Marine Le Pen, of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party. She accused him of “posing an existential risk to 70 million French people, and more particularly to our...

As loathe as I am to defend Attal, there are multiple documented instances of Le Pen and her party taking money from Russia. Not to mention that until 2022 they were outwardly supportive of Putin.

magnor ,
@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

French person here. Le Pen wouldn’t be where she is without Macron. He used her as a foil to win two elections, and his party has been hard at work normalising cooperation with the far right in parliament to oppose any left wing bill. He is playing with fire, and one pertinent comment from his PM should not make us forget that.

@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

We have very little discussion about German politics here. A little bit about afd lately and whenever the EU comes up but not as much as US or UK politics. The cultural hegemony is no joke…

This is a bad idea to end all bad ideas.

Let’s give them an excuse to close their means of communication to the people to “combat AI spam”.

Here's how 2 sentences in the Constitution rose from obscurity to ensnare Donald Trump (apnews.com)

It took months before the first mention of Section 3 in a public document. Free Speech For People, a Massachusetts-based liberal nonprofit, sent letters to top election officials in all 50 states in June 2021, warning them not to place Trump on the ballot should he run again in 2024 because he had violated the provision....

And you comment was absolutely perfect :D (not being sarcastic).

Yup, they’ll get to run for Congress, probably.

I’ve seen a couple active on Lemmy.world lately, but nothing out of the ordinary. They’ll be back though, one way or the other. We have to be aware of that.

I guess people still have money to launder.

We still do eat them. Well at least I assume some people do as I can’t stand it. But you still find frozen snails in pretty much every supermarket around where I live.

Curious: what do you mean by “manually federating” a comment?

@magnor@lemmy.magnor.ovh avatar

You can see the content but not, afaik, move the community or take ownership of it. I’m afraid you’ll have to recreate it somewhere more stable.

Really ? Not surprised in the least, but do you have a source for this?

Holy shit. That sucks.
