Je viens de découvrir que DuckDuckGo a une IA active par défaut.
Pour s'en débarrasser, "modifier les paramètres de recherche" par la roue, aller en bas à "Fonctionnalités de l'IA", "gérer".

. Rechercher avec DuckDuckGo Q Parameétres de recherche (RS PV T ETEN Confidentialité i } ) ) DLEY: e\ Chat (via notre service Duck.ai) vous permet d'avoir des conversations anonymes avec des modèles de chat AI tiers, qui prennent en charge les modèles d'OpenAl, d'Anthropic et d'autres. Désactiver ce paramètre masquera les boutons et liens de Chat sur DuckDuckGo Search. Néanmoins, vous pouvez toujours accéder à Chat lorsque ce paramètre est désactivé en vous rendant sur https://duck.ai directement. Ai Assist peut générer de manière anonyme des réponses assistées par I'lA à certaines recherches en résumant le contenu web pertinent. Vous pouvez choisir la fréquence d'apparition d'Assist : Jamais (supprime complétement linterface utilisateur d'Assist des résultats de recherche), A la demande (n'affiche les réponses assistées par I'l|A que si vous cliquez sur le bouton Assist), Parfois (n'affiche les réponses assistées par I'|A que lorsqu'elles sont trés pertinentes) ou Souvent (s'affiche plus fréquemment sur un plus large éventail de recherches). Pour l'instant, les réponses assistées par I'lA ne sont disponibles qu'aux Etats-Unis (en anglais).

Multi Purr Puss :verified:

I think, i've figured out one of the last remaining #UX pet peeves in #KDE #KDEneon.

I have multiple monitors, and pushing the mouse pointer across the boundary felt rather laborious - too much effort, by default.

An #LLM, via ddg.gg (that's #DuckDuckGo) pointed me in the right direction → KDE Settings → search for "edge" → find this, see screenshot → yoink, done. 😃 👍

KDE settings, showing the nested menu page, where you can configure the "Edge barrier" - the additional amount of pixels, you need to push your mouse pointer, in order to progress to another monitor. (imho, the default setting are too high.)

Can’t escape the slop

I disabled #AI assist on #DuckDuckGo, but even when I do, I still get a bunch of search results that point me to 100% AI-generated web pages. Nowadays anyone can just fuzz search engines like #Google for lists of commonly searched queries, then generate slop responses to these queries, then cache the slop, and then use shady SEO techniques to get these slop pages to show up at the top of search results. And this is what I have been getting from a lot of my web searches lately, content from slop shops.

A part of me thinks companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon may themselves be investing in these shady slop shops to deliberately make traditional search engines useless, which would “incentivize” people to use #LLM -based AI like Gemini or #ChatGPT more often, though that is purely speculation on my part.

If you had asked my 20 years ago that the #Internet of the future would rapidly devolve and become increasingly useless as time went on, I would have dismissed you as a paranoid crackpot. Here we are in the future and I still can hardly believe how shitty technology is becoming.

Update on this...

It's going great, honestly. This is the best experience I've had with all of my #DuckDuckGo experiments. I've made DDG the default search on every one of my devices and it's been fast and accurate every time.

If you also dip your toe in every once in a while, it's never been better IMO.

Working Class Games

Was trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.

I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."

So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?

This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.
