some people might want to avoid Feedly due to their approach to protests: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/110113208809822962

it’s entirely grammatically correct

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh. the a/an rule is based on the first sound (phone?) of the word, not the spelling. hence “an hour”, for example, where the H is silent, but “a heist” where it’s voiced.

yeah, although using a password manager as a 2FA provider sort of negates the “2F” part.

it also sort-of-kind-of-little-bit-of works with Misskey/Calckey. I don’t think any official work has been done to enable support, but you can login with your account and browse posts.

ChatGPT only jumbles words together in a way that is statistically likely to resemble a coherent sentence based on the bits and pieces it’s been fed, without checking whether or not they’re factual. asking them anything doesn’t prove or disprove anything. it says it’s got an account because someone on the internet mentioned once that they’ve made an account to check it out and that they’re excited to see where it’s going.

basically every thing on https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/, one by one. I just reached the point when I decided to hop to another distro at the next reformat.

Google actually pulls results from web pages.

you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense by simply tapping the next word on the prediction bar over and over? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

a “search engine” that hallucinates results, including but not limited to non-existent court cases.

usually once you get into a hobby or a field that’s interesting for you, you’ll just stumble upon them. either someone from a community will recommend a website directly, or you’ll notice that people link to a particular website often when discussing things, or it gets mentioned in a Youtube video about the topic, or it’ll simply pop up in your search results. you can find bunch of interesting stuff by, well, being interested in stuff.

I usually find that adding a website/blog that I visit frequently (i.e. find interesting) to my RSS reader works pretty well.

…how are we supposed to figure out what you find “interesting”?

apparently some Mastodon admins got contacted by Meta and met with them after signing an NDA. I’m quite surprised how many Masto admins want to “just wait and see, maybe it’s not gonna be that bad”.

it’s not “an anonymous Google search”, just a regular Google search results page. they got rid of encrypted.google years ago.

all the tankies.

probably not, since kbin isn’t Lemmy.
