Yeah it wouldn’t bother me so much if any of it was actually useful, but they all just read like a lazy student padding out the page count on a college paper
I searched for a comparison between two USB flash drive brands and the top result waffled for multiple paragraphs about the history and definition of “flash memory” before finally recommending: “just get whichever one has the best performance in your price range”. Gee, thanks AI.
It’s tough because I almost feel like I need a whitelist at this point. 90% of the first page of Google results usually read like AI-generated fluff that doesn’t actually even answer my question. There are a handful of websites I trust now to give me real information and not just clickbait SEO nonsense.
I’m at the point where I add “reddit” to the end of every search just to try and find something that was written by a real person. Maybe someday I can start adding “lemmy” instead.
I’m using MX xfce to revive an old laptop that was struggling with Windows 10. I think it looks and feels great considering the performance.
Yeah it’s not that I think they’re above this kind of petty bullshit, but I don’t get why they’d go “fuck this guy in particular”.
That said, even if the guy admitted to running the world’s biggest pirate ring, screw them anyway
Somehow even eggs managed to get expensive :(
I really like the tiling but I’m getting a bit tired of GNOME.
There was also a bug where some communities would have @instancename even on their home instance, like lemmy.world/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world. It would continue to work on the home instance but break federation with other instances. I don’t know if it’s still happening on the latest update.
I feel like a bit of a hypocrite, because I’ll complain about almost every aspect of this game until I’m blue in the face, but I still put like 200+ hours into it. Same for Skyrim actually.
Maybe try sorting by “New.” I’ve got a weird bug right now where old posts vanish if I sort by Active/Hot
On my phone I’ve put the Jerboa icon where the Rif icon used to be and sure enough I now open Lemmy 100 times a day out of pure habit
As a very basic person, I agree
rip rif
This seems like a smart way to do it. If mods could make it an automatic one-click thing, and then let users combine those into a single merged feed, it would be a nice way to have a single cohesive community across multiple instances while still enjoying the benefits of federation.
I wish I could say I had principles, but frankly I’m just here out of a combination of spite and the fact that I genuinely hate the official Reddit app too much to ever use it.
I said the same thing at first, but then once I broke the habit of mindlessly opening Reddit is Fun on my phone, I just naturally stopped going to the site on my computer too.
Well, okay I still open it up once every couple of days to check a few small subs that don’t exist here yet, but aside from that I’m FINALLY FREE
God the recommendations based on my shelf are completely worthless. I gave the Fellowship of the Ring five stars and now all my recs are totally clogged up with art books and behind-the-scenes stuff about the movies. Oh yeah, please keep showing me audiobook versions of shit I already read!
I enjoyed even the first season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but it really starts to pick up in Season 2 when they introduce Danny DeVito’s character. Well, it really starts to pick up when his character evolves into trash goblin mode in like Season 3/4. Well okay actually seasons 5/6/7 are where it gets REALLY good!
