  I hadn’t realized the “lucky” button was still in use. The first result in Google searches is so much less likely to be of value now than it had been back when search was still unenshittified that I guessed they’d have done away with the ‘one result’ option.

  If they left the lucky option as a fully functional silver arrow, they lose some revenue they’d otherwise have gotten by forcing you to sift through bad results.

  People worried about “digital eavesdropping” aren’t paranoid. There’s an entire class-action lawsuit based on Apple’s Siri getting caught being activated without the trigger command and data that was captured being sent to third party providers.

  Regarding this:

  would you want previews of content requiring login, perhaps with a risk of accidentally changing related logged in state?

  Absolutely not, no. Many platforms have a wait period prior to user-requested account deletion during which logging back in will halt the deletion request.
