Google is aware of the situation and suposibly working on it.

Try adding redditcat the end of your searches, I heard that improves search quality on Google.

If it works it works.

probally has to do with a future plan to not pay for news content.

In order for Google to improve profitability they targeted adblockers and adblockers in 3rd party browsers.

If my prediction isn't too far off, countries that enforce laws forcing Google to pay to the news may not get news at all or *very limited.

How to stay private online without needing avast.

  1. Use open source/offline apps. Only use others apps if you just have to.

  2. If you're navigating websites or servers, where it is located mostly will influence the privacy. How you may ask?

Some countries have specific laws and restrictions what sites and apps can collect or even do. Figure out which ones align in your favor and use sites and servers located in those places.

I hadn't used any anti virus in about 8 years. Being on Linux and Chromeos mostly on the pc side and using Fdroid opensource apps and the few big apps needed from PlayStore.

I don't think this is new I experienced this happening last year seemingly on certian searches.

I can't speak much about my opinion on a person, as it might a be off topic of the original post and b start controversy for either side of politics.

Sure some people can be controversal, but to have something like gemini and to seemingly go out of their way to just not generate a persons appearance traits accurately. Not the most proffesional look.

Although, if a user were to ask for a raceswap of a historical president I would be ok with that if that's something they inputed that they wanted.

I'm all for letting people of all backgrounds having an equal work/representation opportunity but this ai went too far.

What I am against is taking official / past figures such as u.s presidents and race swapping them. These are real people who were white. Sorry if it offends someone but that's just how it was.

At this point we are putting dei even over who use to govern the u.s as offical presidents? Why? Who does this help? If anything you make people with legit purposes hate dei more by doing this. Imagine if they did that to president Obama people would be sticking it to Google 10 times harder then they are now.

True. I was really talking about what's already available to most Mostodon admins. If somehow this could be added in to Mastodon that would be great. (never hosted an instance in my life.)

email verification might slow *spam down, but manual approvals seems like the best option from having the best results out of the two. You could be more able to tell if someone is a spammer or even a ban evader potentially before they are approved to join the server.
