Hey, I know this isn't relevant, but does anyone remember this website that compiled bookmarklets for all sorts of different search engines and configurations? It's a user-contributed site, kind of spartan, web 1.0. This is driving me nuts.

>>870156

>>870151

Isn't Google part of the White House?

>>870159

http://mycroftproject.com/

Thank you a lot, anon. That was really bugging me.

>>870144 (OP)

This has to be related to the "trump needs to be shot" thing from the SOTU. The company that was filming there (forget the name) was recently acquired by Getty, who were involved in censoring the whole debacle. I'm not sure what removing view image is even gonna do, but I guess Getty thinks that us not being able to look too closely at an image in native resolution will be a good thing. Like that is gonna stop us.

>>870155

It's not a question if a lolbert is looking forward to it or not, but that Google wants it.

>>870168

Kys nigger.

Right click.

View image.

I noticed when I was steal- creatively commandeering sources for work and that's what I did. Took 2 seconds and is usually better than View Image because it goes to the google link instead of another webpage that may or may not allow me to see the image or redirect me, or store it as a 1920x1080 image, but render it as a thumbnail full of the million more thumbnails and I have to go digging for it. Then 3 minutes later, find nothing.

>>870223

It's amazing how deeply inculcated you've been by the anti-piracy propaganda that you misinterpret actions that would be perfectly reasonable under fair use as theft.

>>870185

What about bangs? Personally, I've been using helm-surfraw so much that I don't even use the bangs, anymore. I also think DDG's search algorithm is way better than that of Google's--and the interface cleaner. I don't even care if it's Russian botnet; it's pretty good.

>>870165

Wait, what? I didn’t hear about this, link please?

>>870223

That just takes you to a preview image, though. Not the original one. The purpose of the View Image button was to get the full resolution image.

>>870181

i've noticed that too anon. really terrible search results.

>>870182 you may be right.

google is a cancer.

stop using them.

starve the beast.

>>870293

Telling people not to use Google isn't really that useful if they don't know of an alternative.

>>870295

There are plenty of alternatives for every service they offer.

iOS

DuckDuckGo

cock.li

DailyMotion

They're not perfect, but it's smarter than to put all your eggs into one basket.

>>870300

>iOS

>duckduckgo

Back to /g/.

>>870302

Look, they're alternatives to Google, not your Gentoo-based Raspberry Pi phone and gopher indices.

You have to trust someone, but it better not be Google.

i just used image search on google you retards

The quicker that google shoots itself in the foot, the quicker we can move on to something better. After that, it's trying to hasten the death of facebook, twitter and wikipedia.

>>870300

>iOS

What does that even mean?

>>870303

>You have to trust someone, but it better not be Google.

I would trust Android over iOS any fucking day. And DuckDuckGo is literally the worst alternative you could have possibly stated. There are SEVERAL other, much better alternatives. Even Bing would be a better alternative.

>>870300

Dailymotion runs a ton of google scripts.

They can be blocked but eh.

>>870306

...?

>>870311

>Even Bing would be a better alternative.

Just how? Please explain without pure contrarianism.

I accpet pure AOSP as better than iOS, but as what people can actually buy and use, I'll recommend Apple over Goolge any day of the week.

>>870313

YouTube is probably the hardest to replace, which makes sense considering the billions it costs Alphabet to keep it afloat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s8ZG6HuLrU

Daily reminder that if you have an android phone Google is watching your every move.

>>870314

what?

>>870318

root your phone and ungoogle it

>>870314

By "google scripts", I'm guessing he's referring to Google CDN's but doesn't quite understand well enough what he's talking about to be anything but intentionally vague. It's absurd because that issue can be solved incredibly easily.

>>870321

What was the purpose of your post?

>>870322

Don't kid yourself; all smartphones are inherently insecure. That's part of their design.

>>870324

they say no image search in google.... just use their servers and block their spyware, double win for us

>>870326

>they say no image search in google

What? Who? What the fuck are you talking about?

>>870319

>Apple is far worse in every way.

nope.

Apple doesn't have trackers embedded in 90% of webpages, just for starters.

Google is the worst tech company in the world for privacy by a significant margin.

>>870326

What the fuck are you even blathering on about?

>>870328

thats waht OP said, they took out image button

>>870329

>>870319

Ah, yes, arguing about how Evil Corporation A is slightly less evil than Evil Corporation B is going to achieve a whole lot.

>>870331

>>870303

Removing the "view image" button isn't the same as removing image search altogether, you fucking imbeciles.

>>870322

To get android to stop tracking your location you can't install any gapps so your phone can't download anything from the google play store which is the majority of the apps.

and even then it still pings google IPs.

>>870333

Choosing ios over chromeos or android is net benefit for user privacy.

Google has an almost inescapable net and apple provides one of the few safe zones.

Imagine a world where people use android phones to browse with google chrome to access their gmail and watch videos on youtube with their google fiber connection. That's the world google wants to create.

>>870336

Again, all smartphones are inherently insecure--which is why I don't own one, but even I know about projects like Replicant. You're just an idiot.

>>870340

You're still a proprietary cuck.

>>870341

ReplicantOS, LineageOS etc do not "just werk" and in some cases they don't work on certain phones at all.

Your grandmother is not going to be rooting her android phone any time soon.

>>870334

well then i have no clue what the fuck your talking about then cunt bag. i right click image then click view image.... no need to be an asshole just cause your anonymous here fucking dipshit

>>870341

>Replicant

That's all but dead, they've managed to port a 2 yo OS to a 6 yo phone, and kudos to them, but it's not a viable choice almost anyone to run around with a libre wifi dongle and have no security updates on the most popular web platform in history.

>>870334

you talk like that to me in real life id fucking bash your fucking brains in with a bat

>>870347

Wow, that's a radically different claim from the one you were making a second ago when you implied the entire service was nixed. To be fair, the OP is stupid; it didn't even link an article. What it's talking about is the "image view" button that appeared when you clicked on a picture. The significance of this is that it's harder for laymen to download images, deterring "theft" of images. It's not like the whole option is gone.

>>870352

I...don't even know how to respond to this. Are you being ironic?

>>870353

I think the whole issue is around having one step more to download the fullsize image instead of the thumbnail, a mild annoyance, but meaningful in the context of Google deliberately offering a worse product to it's customers.

>>870350

That's not really the point, but, yeah, I concede. Maybe iOS in one sense is a more pragmatic choice, but that doesn't really justify owning an smartphone and subscribing to these unethical services in the first place--and you'd be remiss to think that Apple doesn't have their own counterparts to most Google services or exploit their users just as much; it's just that the Apple walled-garden ecosystem happens to be a lot more insular. It certainly doesn't justify recommending iOS to anyone simply because it's slightly less evil than (but relatively as abysmal) Google's Android. That's just absurd.

>>870357

Yes, that's what I just said.

>>870353

i never said it was nixed

>>870367

I meant to respond to >>870326, >>870304. It's amazing how I was literally criticizing you for something you never said, yet you still somehow managed to get into a heated Internet argument with me rather than just correct me.

>>870354

no i am not, i am sharing my feelings. most people on here are just fucking assholes. why? maybe cause the are anonymous so they get their jollys off on be dick heads to people they dont even know. i would bash your fucking face in, cause your an ignorant cunt who cant explain shit with out being an ass.

>>870358

Recommending is a strong word, and everyone here is aware of the danger of smartphones in general, but I'm being realistic about this.

You will not convert people to abandon phones, they're too useful and convenient to ever achieve that, so I'd rather take the lesser evil, and the walled-garden is a big part of that.

I shudder whenever I see my friends and famiily downloading any malware-ridden app form the Play Store because 'everybody else does it', and frankly a computer designed to be handled by idiots and protecting them from themselves is just what they need. I'm talking about MDs and lawyers here, mind you.

Very few people realize how technology has the potential of being, and despite all disagreements, that's why we congregate here, but that doesn't mean everybody else doesn't matter.

We need a sensible approach to privacy and security, not absolutist purity spiralling.

>>870372

i dont like correcting people...

>>870376

unless its something that is a big deal, what you said didnt bother me and i just let shit slid. i try my hardest not to be a dick, but sometimes i just cant help it...

>>870373

There's never going to be a reasonable amendment to something that's just inherently bad. If things aren't good, then that's all the more reason why you should spend time making positive contributions to projects that do solve these problems in an ethical way.

>I shudder whenever I see my friends and famiily downloading any malware-ridden app form the Play Store because 'everybody else does it', ...

Yes, but somehow I feel like DRM isn't the solution.

>>870385

Don't be absurd. Everyone knows the earth is only 6000 years old.

>>870416

It's too bad there's not really a viable alternative to Google Images besides DuckDuckGo's image search though. And even then, reverse image search services like TinEye or saucenao really pale in comparison to Google.

>>870403

Actually, I just passed through the comments, I'm not the guy you said you would bash (what an infantile response) and it was just obvious that you are a retard that I didn't resist saying some deserved shit to you.

Cry me a river, little girl.

>>870417

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey.

Let's all just ignore the brainlet and move on.

I love this thread.

>>870419

It exists. Regarding images, both Bing and Yandex are far better than Google.

You also have startpage and searx.me

>>870421

HEH, fellow subscription-endorsing citizen, why convey anything for free??....?

>>870424

Yeah, but both of those are just as bad honestly. Like, it would be horribly naive to think that either of those services wouldn't exploit their users in precisely the same way Google does if they had the resources and incentive--actually, they do have those two things. Both startpage and searx.me are good, sure, but they're both still technically dependent on other proprietary services--searx less-so because it's a metasearch engine, but there's no real, good, (ostensibly) privacy-respecting solution, so it's about as good as startpage.

>>870426

I think you misinterpreted my post as being pro-piracy for simply pointing out the fact that the other poster's "stealing" fell under fair use and is perfectly within the parameters of copyright.

>>870428

>>870427

So, stop using the internet then.

>>870438

>'tuplamancer'

>https://freyasspirit.com/about/

You are now aware that tulpas were an inside job by the Japanese psychiatry industry to remove the psychosocial impact of stigma

with self-reinforcing positive CBT.

Does anyone else use surfraw? The program itself actually kind of sucks; you have to enter your search query and then select what site you want to search with, but I've been using helm-firefox-bookmarks, and the workflow is a lot more streamlined. Actually, helm-firefox-bookmarks doesn't even use surfraw, even though it uses the helm-surfraw url formats when it makes its queries. It makes a lot more sense to lop in your bookmarks and search entries into one Helm buffer, since they're pretty related.

I just wrote a little snippet like this

  (setq helm-surfraw-duckduckgo-image-url
        "https://duckduckgo.com/?kp=-2&q=%s&type=list&iax=images&ia=images"
        )
  (setq helm-surfraw-hooktube-url
        "https://hooktube.com/results?search_query=%s"
        )

And it's a lot easier to choose from three headers than entering two separate prompts to make a web search.

The most surreal thing about this is that with links like "Who we are", it reads like the banner to some kind of startup company. The other two links are wild, too, in some kind of absurd, dystopian way evocative of Nazi human experiments. I wrote a short story when I was younger about a scifi world basically like our modern society except everyone has an entire wiki devoted to themselves. When I wrote it, I kind of meant it in a more symbolic way, but jeez.

>>870457

It wasn't really that hard; it's actually really useful. It was kind of implied, but I should mention that I'm using EXWM. Here's the other snippet:

  (defun helm-firefox-bookmarks ()
    "Preconfigured `helm' for firefox bookmark."
    (interactive)
    (helm :sources `(helm-source-firefox-bookmarks
                     ,(helm-build-dummy-source "DuckDuckgo Search"
                        :action (lambda (candidate)
                                  (helm-browse-url
                                   (format helm-surfraw-duckduckgo-url
                                           (url-hexify-string candidate)))))
                     ,(helm-build-dummy-source "DuckDuckgo Image Search"
                        :action (lambda (candidate)
                                  (helm-browse-url
                                   (format helm-surfraw-duckduckgo-image-url
                                           (url-hexify-string candidate)))))
                     ,(helm-build-dummy-source "HookTube Video Search"
                        :action (lambda (candidate)
                                  (helm-browse-url
                                   (format helm-surfraw-hooktube-url
                                           (url-hexify-string candidate)))))
                     )
          :truncate-lines t
          :buffer "*Helm Firefox*"))

I'm still kind of debating whether it's easier to have all my search results a just a few separate headers or a bunch of entries for when I press helm-select-action.

>>870444

Oh shit, I completely forgot surfraw was a thing. Reading the man page right now. I like how qutebrowser lets you add keyword searches because I typically search from the same specific wikis/music/pirate sites every time. But I'm waiting for per domain settings before I pick it up again.

>>870340

what about browsing in chrome on ios? that way you get the best of both worlds.

How does one even remove "view image"?

Do they like, make a flash whatever to stick the image in?

What is even the point of this shit?

I get stuff like netflix removing the "Save As/view image" from their html5 player, but like, why would you disable viewing an image as a source when it html embeds a direct link to the image anyway?

Another day, another Google App spontaneously losing functionality. Seems like most of their apps have been gutted at this point.

Honestly, I think Google's become something of a paper tiger. I bet the majority of their users are annoyed at some important feature or another getting removed for no reason, and they'd jump ship in a second if they knew a solid alternative.

oh yeah this is gonna be good

>>870150

it would be a violation of the gpl as android is derived from linux, that said, its kinda pointless to have it open source anyway since the hardware makes it basically impossible to use any code you might want to change unless they accept your pull request, and if youre doing anything interesting, they probably wont.

What the fuck? They removed this? Why the fuck would they do that?

You can actually drag images to your desktop or right-click to save them, I'm pretty sure that couldn't be done before the update. Guess image search is still half functional

Google is run by a retars puppet pajeet. It's only a matter of time until the whole thing implodes on its own incompetence.

why?

seriously, though, startpage is great. every once in awhile you might have to go back and use google, but mostly it does the job

>>871281

I‘d rather not rely on Google at all, wether by proxy or not.

>>871281

Upvoting this post, startpage is great good enough

>>871281

Startpage is literally Google, you fucking idiot.

>>871290

>good enough

better wording

>>871304

>Startpage is literally Google, you fucking idiot

Yes, I know that is the intent, but if you go to both startpage and google and put in the same search term you will get different results. just go try it for yourself... you fucking idiot.

>>871284

>rather not rely on Google at all

why? if you're not looking up politically charged material, then why not use the best there is. If you can VPN (etc) and/or startpage, so you don't give usable data / get tracked, then so much the better.

>>871304

The point is using a search engine proxy that doesn't sell your data to cia facebook niggers

>>870907

They removed a lot of semi-advanced syntax long ago. And if you try to use things like inurl etc. more often than once in a blue moon, you will be accused of "unusual activity" and be forced to do involuntary free labor in the form of training botnet ai by solving captchas.

"View image" link is gone but now there's a "Images may be subject to copyright" message under each miniature copy

I guess that's somewhat of a hint. They don't want people to download full-quality image copies anymore.

>>870907

Excluding words is racist, anon. You must care for diversity in your search phrases and include at least five or six words that contribute nothing or are even counterproductive to finding what you intended to find, but make your search more diverse and thus inherently and ultimately and indisputably superior.

>>871335

>five or six words

...which are always changing due to fads, speech codes and new ones being invented

man, its so frustrating

>can root android

thats not intended tho, and jailbreaking IS rooting an iphone, also if you think rooting your android didnt void your warranty then i got bad news for you...

>>871575

>thats not intended tho

Wrong, Jewgle are the ones who develop the tools and frameworks that make rooting possible. Most of the time rooting literally just involved patching the running kernel through adb after unlocking the bootloader (which is like 5 clicks in any official rom under developer options)

>and jailbreaking IS rooting an iphone

Not at all. The entire iOS userland is sandboxed inside a FreeBSD Jail. thet's where the term "Jailbreak" comes from. "Rooting" an Android device does not involve breaking out of any sandbox, because Android doesn't snadbox the user. Rather, in Android, each usermode application is simply its own user that has different r/w permissions. Rooting an Android is just injecting or enabling the superuser binary. It's nothing like Jailbreaking.

You are completely ignoring the significance of this change.

seeing a lot of hate for duck duck go in this thread, maybe i missed something, are they botnet now too? since when? care to explain why or link to some evidence?

>how they removed the ability to put a minus sign infront of words to exclude them from search results

I just searched for "stomach -cancer" and got appropriate results

>>871780

thats because theres massively more results for 'stomach' by itself, if you want to see this in action, try searching for 'android -phone' instead...

>>871810

I tried looking for 'best smartphone' expecting some listicles and I was able to do away with some of then by minusing numbers. Minusing is wonky sometimes, but it still works.

>>871591

Did you mean to reply to >>870662

>>871769

nowhere near as bad as Google and others, so i still recommend DuckDuckGo

False, some makes & models even have specific manufacturer & telco support for rooting:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android)#Manufacturer_support

As opposed to iOS, where the closest thing Apple offers is paying at least a hundred bucks a year for the privilege of compiling binaries that can only run on your personal phone.

And that doesn't even touch on the stuff I ticked off other than rooting, most of which is fully supported on every Android device.
