She looks amazing but also this is the most American thing to be slurping on a cup as big as your head at any and all times.

There's no idication that he's AI. People are allowed to have opinions you don't agree with.

How can you tell?

It's what I use right now and it's great in many aspects but I do still miss the graceful transition between languages that swiftkey was offering. With this I need to switch manually every time. With swiftkey I could write directly in any language and change in the same sentence and it could deal with it.

This is not ad-blocking related. The search results on YouTube are literal trash and there's nothing we can do about it.

Yeah exactly. No wonder people use tiktok to look up stuff these days. At least there you have actual humans sharing their knowledge.

That's the point I'm reaching as well. The internet as a mass of disconnected sites feels dead. Any attempt to look up information goes to pages that follow the same formula and feel very AI generated even with errors and unconsistencies typical for AI. What is the point of the open net anymore? The only value I feel like I'm getting is in specific trusted platforms or sites. It's a sad state that we've reached.

Kagi has all these options as well but everything can be disabled in the settings.

The connections you make in your head have nothing to do with the reality you live in. Seek help.

You give a bad rap to neurodivergents and being one has nothing to do with being right or wrong.

Where specifically could I find this recommendation so i can forward it to my IT department?

It's a Linux problem in the sense that like you say, the X window manager hijacked the middle mouse button for a different functionality way back in the day and the browser developers, and others as well, just respect that decision by default, even if it never made any sense. Many people are now used to it and prefer it like this so there was always resistance to changing it to how windows does it and just drop the whole mouse wheel does text manipulation thing.

If and until that changes to the sensible way, at least people like me have the configurations to fix it so I guess it could be worse.
