Ecosia doesn't apply tracking cookies. And fingerprinting does not need cookies. It just needs to know what you are.

Device size, information, browser... And other shared info.

I don't remember the name, but it's a full bloatware app, which still has some use on laptops tho.

But for a display is a total trash app.

It has less settings than the display, while overwriting them with whatever settings are available (the app doesn't even have custom rgb levels...).

With advertising for nvidia GeForce now. With settings for nvidia...(I have an amd gpu...). System management which requires special drivers... And other s*

Yeah currently I have armoury crate disabled in the bios. But another s* has arised. I have an hp x27q display. The omen app from the Microsoft store is beeing installed automatically. Even after tweaking registry settings, store setting,... Can't stop the install.

So I just granted myself access to the folder, and deleted everything I could... Now it won't change my display settings by itself again.

I don't think you look at it from the right way.

AI is already in a lot of people's lifes and they don't even notice it's that.

From your keyboard word correction and prediction, to power management, smart image edition and categorising and more.

And some things are done locally on your phone.

The increase in AI capability on phones can allow more things to be done locally, and maybe even get something like a local LLM to predict what you want to type. (LLM = large language model, like chatgpt, bard, Llama and others, they can be used for more than just answering your questions).

I'm not talking about duckduckgo. Don't use duckduck.com. Use duckduckgo.com

And for reddit posts, as much as I want Lemmy to succeed, I cannot ignore reddit.

Sometimes an answer I'm looking for is there hidded between useless comments (if it hasn't been deleted or overwritten by the user).

This is worse than what the title says. It doesn't after the search results. It changes the search terms you inputed.

It completely deletes what you put, to replace it (without anyone noticing it) with similar search words, but to get money from a brand or make you buy from that brand.

And when you buy or click on links, Google makes money because advertising and partnership.

Say you search for “children’s clothing.” Google converts it, without your knowledge, to a search for “NIKOLAI-brand kidswear,” making a behind-the-scenes substitution of your actual query with a different query that just happens to generate more money for the company

First, the generated results to the latter query are more likely to be shopping-oriented, triggering your subsequent behavior much like the candy display at a grocery store’s checkout

Second, that latter query will automatically generate the keyword ads placed on the search engine results page by stores like TJ Maxx, which pay Google every time you click on them. In short, it's a guaranteed way to line Google’s pockets.

I sometimes get this too. It's a bit annoying on mobile (not happening on desktop), but I often just need to reload the page.

In France and other countries around speaking French, college is middle school. 11-15y old something like that.

According to Wikipedia, in most countries it's high-school or secondary education.

In the US and maybe other it seems to be a synonym of university.

What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.

And if someone who didn't get such eduction thinks they have the tool to distinguish between false and true, they are delusional. The more verified knowledge someone has, the more that person develops their ability to manage information and find if it's bad or good. Tho that doesn't mean that everyone has equal training or capacity in doing so.

If college is employed as a synonym of university, then kinda yes? Tho for myself I wasn't really trained into getting the right sources. However the knowledge gained from the years of eduction allowed me to somehow manage a bit the informations.

However, I don't think I would have been able to really avoid bad information without getting the university training, where I also learned sources and reputable sources.

Even now it can be sometimes hard to get a good source to check. And often for random info I'll forget on the Web I don't even bother.

I can partially confirm this.

The hdd is too slow for recent games. Tho older games do work fine on it.

Recent games, mostly AAA ones have a lof of texture streaming with hevy textures. So they wouldn't be able to load them in time and either generate lag or missing textures.

Older games, even AAA, designed for ps4/xbox one generation don't seem to need as much drive speed.

For file verification, maybe, tho it wouldn't bother me much if I didn't have space on an nvme drive.
