“I have no interest in activist software” that’s my exact sentiment.
Provide the option, sure. Plenty of people care enough to use it.
But don’t force it on me. I’ll find software that actually wants to serve its purpose.
- drusepth 6y agoIf you read the article, there's an option in the settings to not have this option "forced" on you. Even when it's "forced", it's only defaulting to more carbon-positive routes when the ETAs are comparable, so it shouldn't have much of an effect on whether you care about the feature or not.
- klyrs 6y agoWhat if they released the exact same product as "minimize fuel cost if it doesn't take more time" and set that to default? You can still change to "fastest" if that's your preference. My personal annoyance: their walking directions assume you don't know parkour and there isn't even an option for that
- shrikant 6y agoI genuinely cannot tell if that last bit is sarcasm or not!
- klyrs 6y agoIt's a near-truth, told to own my selfish tendencies while I'm on the topic of somebody else's. The truth being that I don't want that info from google, rather I delight in beating its time. I do wish that I could dial in a walking speed, though, and so do people with reduced mobility.
