Still, it refuses to make those buttons optional.

Not only that, back before I left Ecosia a few months ago, it kept forgetting that I turned off AI summaries. Every week or so it would turn back on… I’ll try DuckDuckGo’s noai. prefix this time, that hopefully won’t have this issue. (I really like Ecosia’s mission, but come on…)

I may switch to them as my primary provider. They seem to source results from Bing, and with the noai prefix hopefully won’t keep turning on AI summary like Ecosia does 😑

haha I always heard of that being referred to as the “clit” :D But haven’t used one in 20 years or so, I don’t see them on modern laptops.

Curved screens look appealing (I imagine also good for gaming), but I don’t think I’d want to try them for work as a graphic designer. I need straight lines to look straight :)

Sadly Ecosia is not good for more niche topics or foreign languages. After a few months of use, I went back to Google with &udm=14 😕

I have the same experience and it drives me to nuts - if I wanted English results, I’d search in English!

I think people usually use genAI to cut corners. Rather than learn the skill themselves (and develop the sense of what makes the result good/bad), they just go with the zero-effort option.

Yeah, tbh I’m fine working as a graphic designer on my single 24-inch screen, not sure what I’d put on another one.

Though I imagine it might be useful when gaming to put a guide or spreadsheet on a smaller, vertical screen.

As a graphic designer, I’d quit being a graphic designer if laptop+trackpad was my only option D:

Amazingly, there is this nifty thing called a “port” that allows a mouse to be plugged into a laptop. It is pretty incredible technology. /s

Yes, I meant that it’s even worse when there’s no mouse plugged in, but I guess my phrasing wasn’t clear :)
