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
**long neglected because of monetary incentivization (aka corporate greed), a bias towards subscriptions and microtransactions.
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.

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’m just here because you’re giving Voyager the love she deserves. God I love that ship.
Oh! I miss those. They genuinely entertained me for a good while.
“Eh close enough” and “they have workers to do this.”

They’re talking about the cart by the light pole on the right
I had the urge while out the other day and had to wipe, like a peasant. Bidets should be a right in the kingdom.
Audacity aside, wtf is the difference between the $1.99 and 3.99 gold???
🤨 when did Reddit overtake Twitter? Reddit used to be a niche destination that you’d barely see it in comparison to the other big name sites.
OP: The hero we don’t deserve.
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.
