I typed in “Sarah naked” and my day was instantly improved...
I might have tried it out.. except that I have every IP address from Russia, China, and North Korea blocked.
I get plenty of image search options with DDG, by simply click on “images” at top of page. “More options” appear at bottom. What are you doing wrong?
The “options” weren’t ON the webpage (look at the screencap).
The issue has been resolved though ;^)
Over time, I have come to despise Google most of all Big Tech, and have actually begun to fear its effect on mankind. And I don't believe I am being melodramatic. I fear that effect because the vast majority of people out there who use Google view it as an unbiased font of information. And Google is heavily leveraging AI and and looking, as described in the "Selfish Ledger" video below, to use it in even broader and in my opinion, more sinister ways.
I think anyone who discounts concerns about Google (as a poster did in this thread) are making a grave mistake. And I think humankind is going to make that mistake.
I find it odd to have to ring this bell to some people, but the thing is, smart and talented people have it baked into them that knowledge is good...as they damn well should. Knowledge IS good.
The problem is, Google is not "knowledge". Google is information. (I apologize in advance for the length of this, but this is key to why I have serious concerns about Google and what it does, and worse, what it wants to do or thinks it should do...)
Having information is not the same as having knowledge. To me, knowledge contains context where information does not. Information is data.
Knowledge is what your mind makes of data if you give that "information" (data) the correct context. Correct is the important word. Because having knowledge that is wrong, is just as bad as having no knowledge. I'll go even further and say that knowledge that is wrong is not knowlege, it is something else altogether and is worse than having no knowledge.
I explain my deep concern about Google to people this way:
This video above, not intended to be seen by other than the top executives at Google, was leaked to the public by an unknown employee.
Bill Whittle did a masterful video recently:
The Stolen Election Part II: Stoners and Reptiles
The whole video is worth watching, but his interpretation and presentation of the Big Tech interference in the election is critical. Near the end, if you go to the 14 minute mark of the video, he discusses a video, created for top level Google executives (and meant only for their eyes) that was leaked to the public called "The Selfish Ledger".
Bill Whittle calls it the most frightening thing he has yet seen from the Left, and I agree with him.
It describes how Google views our "ledger" to be created and constantly updated by the compilation of our online activities into a "fingerprint" of who and what we are, and likens it to our DNA that identifies us, and how they wish to alter that DNA-like "Ledger" to manipulate people to "think the right way".
Chilling. Even though you sound like you understand this aspect of Google fully, I highly recommend it.
Such drama.
Just append image to the search item. For example, to search of pics of dogs, enter Dogs image into the search bar. You’ll see a few pics of dogs. Click on Images for dogs to see more.
You can use the word picture instead of image.
Hi Mr. Pot. I’m Mr. Kettle. You’re black.
Lame-@$$!
