I know the professor can be at times reclusive and hard to reach but is anyone in contact with him for organizing a forum on here for questions? I know there is growing curiosity about his phenomenal life and career; it would be amazing if the moderators could put something together with him!!
The Co-operative Party goes under the radar as the fourth largest Westminster party largely due to their pact partner Labour's brand and organization being much more prominent but I'm curious what people's experience of the Coop Party is and if there is any kind of active local organization where they live, and also if there would be interest in anyone starting a Coop Party page on reddit since there currently is not one!
Tbh I read about them a bit and saw the TLDR video haha and I think there is definitely interesting territory with Coop Party. They have proposed things like "mutualizing" the BBC i.e. bringing it into a cooperative model which I think could have merit. I think the approach of the party broadly could be considered either socialist or non-socialist but firmly progressive and at least soft left. I definitely see energy and potential in it albeit I admittedly know little about its parliamentarians except for Andy.
Super interesting that the future PM is also in another party than Labour!! I would hope he contribute to that party organization parallel to Labour and bring it into more prominence during his tenure. It's an opportunity to foster a new politics and develop new policies but also to build a broader progressive camp bringing in more people to politics.
Also European Union is goated
Given the revelation of a cofounder Mullvad being the biggest funder a far-right party in Sweden backing “remigration,” I would like to know who the provider of DDG’s VPN services is.
Is DDG affiliated with Mullvad in any capacity such as for either VPN services or a default search engine deal? Thank you
The password generation is useful but often services require some more specificity like special characters and specific lengths
Something like a slider for length and checkboxes for special chars, whether to include numbers etc would be nice
Thank you for your attention on this matter
Perhaps the “AI summary” grift will soon be over?
thankfully ddg is different
I would like SPP host a meeting of the minds with different panels on his and this subreddit’s expertise
Many sources of quality information are run sustained by ads, offers for subscriptions, donations, or by practices that offer their professional services.
What the AI search assistant is doing is hoovering up that expert human cultivated knowledge and auto-plagiarizing it without compensation, whereas without it one is encouraged to visit one or more sites wherein the user pays their way be seeing an ad or being aware of subscriptions or services they can get from the author or provider.
Defunding these sources encourages more sub par “AI” content. Ironically if DDG did eclipse Google it would be contributing to the same trends of shittification albeit marginally less so than Google is insisting on.
DDG advances the line that enabling by default disinformation prone ai summaries is fine because users can turn them off by cumbersome and technical means but authors and publishers get little at all choice in their work being sucked up by DDG’s powerful tech corporation partners and spat out while depriving them of the clicks and impressions they’ve earned. Certainly many use ad blockers but these knowledge providers deserve at least a fair go of having their work respected, unadulterated and accessible directly to their readers where they may see an ad, an offer for a service/subscription, or the donation page
Now perhaps DDG is very selective about the sources that go into overview but I could not find pages about that, just marketing sheets about how everything is so different. I would be interested to know what the DDG mix on search assist is or if it’s just relying on the jnfra of AI companies
For non sports people look at the answer and compare that to the scheduled date.
This would be a decent snag if I were just up at 12 or 1 on Monday to make the morning grind easier but even then 12.50 is just barely good. It kind of tracks with probably what an hour of labor would be for the market on an early morning week day based on the offers.
But this is also just after 6 hours of much better offers so I’ll probably head home and sleep through this…
Anyone else find it odd that there are 10 moderators here all with the Staff tag but no community mods?
I know reddit lifted its rule against creating a subreddit for your own project or organization but it's really weird to have 10 people paid to be on here and represent the views of management with no oversight over moderation decisions from users.
I would love it if someone made a board for the actual DDG community about DDG as a service not as a product where a company line could be enforced. They should totally though reduce the number of staffed mods and add users as mods. Preferably non-curated ones who want to enforce the company's views.
So I finished up my Thurs night incentive and feel great cause I actually made some money but I’m not seeing the weekend offer …. Is it over girls?
Waited till after 4 am to post still nuthin….
