True but I see this more as a critical thinking problem - which is pervasive in our society and worsened by the tech bubbles. People should want to seek out information that both argues for and against a topic.
The way our education systems work now, at least in the US, that method of thinking only begins around college and varies widely by academic pedigree.
The few people on ours are local real estate agents and severe weather alerts lol
Yup. I quit everything but Reddit several years back without a second thought in all that time because I lived in a big metropolitan city.
Now I live in a small suburb where all the towns and businesses post to FB, neighbors have tradeposts and active interest groups on there, the schools and Police post info there too. My wife has connected to “friends” we otherwise wouldn’t exchange info with.
All that has had me wanting to create a new account - just to connect. I was completely ignorant to the role it plays outside of big cities beforehand. Nextdoor is a really crappy alternative.
I used perplexity pretty exclusively for a while. Especially for work. Both have their place and use cases but when I’m looking for something truly specific or nuanced, it’s DDG and a manual search.
Seen it. Covered it.
🎶 we are Farmers!
I recently started playing Diablo 4. I’ve never bought DLC or cosmetics but I recall the horse armor uproar. My shock when some of these cosmetics are $20 for mount or town portal…what?!
ChatGPT+ has been a revelation. We’ll see what happens with iOS 18 too.
They’ve got a really active and dedicated community on discord. I returned mine before this story broke for unrelated reasons but it really is a neat little device that fits a very specific niche. Outside of that bubble though, almost no one gets it and that’s their biggest problem.
I can’t justify Kagi’s pricing but I liked it. I’d blow through the cheapest plan in a week. Neeva was pretty good too before they pivoted, also pricey imo though.
But go to the ER if it lasts more than 4 hours
I had the urge while out the other day and had to wipe, like a peasant. Bidets should be a right in the kingdom.
OP: The hero we don’t deserve.
I’m an idiot! (You’re an idiot!)
Holy shit! Is this a thing? Cause that’d explain a whole lot for me
I don’t think this is Gerald’s work…
Me, sharing Star Trek with my wife, as she’s nodding off halfway through.
Omg! When did my wife join Lemmy?!
Ahh a man of culture, I see.
…Wait. Do we do that here?
Whenever I have to brave the Google abyss, I usually use Startpage. Obviously uBlock Origin but if I can avoid being bombarded by devious and distracting ads altogether, I’d rather that.
