if it was terrible before then this doesn’t change anything

It’s not about intelligence it’s about what keeps you up at night. Most people aren’t bothered by cookies and ads, somehow.

people who used Firefox since high school😎😎

again?

The latest thing added to the list is AI model creation which is a nightmare… but, I can’t say no 🤷‍♂️

That’s funny, I’m working with AI models for my thesis. Good to know that professional programmers struggle with it too.

can anyone explain to a hobby programmer?

no the best part is they didn’t and this all happened by chznce

this would’ve been better if they asked an LLM how many x’s each of those contained

YouTube had beaten ublock origin for a while so I resolved to using invidious.

free information

Extracting information from the internet that is freely available isn’t exactly stealing content. Haven’t you ever copied something from Wikipedia? Why would Wikipedia even exist if people can’t use and share its content?

And I should care about that because? Google is sparing me from visiting a website that will harass me to accept cookies, complain about my adblocker, probably request to send notifications, etc.

My issue is mostly with image search results. DDG’s images tend to be less relevant than Google’s. DDG also lacks “smart” results (idk the official term).

For example when you search “rng 25” on Google, it will immediately present you with a random number between 1 and 25. On DDG you have to click on one of the search results and then use some website to generate the number.

Or when searching for the results of a soccer game, Google will immediately present all the stats to you, while on DDG you will only find some articles about it.

Of course it really depends on the kind of search and I’m sure DDG will regularly have better results than Google too.

With adblock enabled I feel like their results are often better than for example Duckduckgo. I recently switched to using DDG as my standard search engine but I regularly find myself using Google instead to get the results I’m looking for.

i think there are bigger things to worry about

i heard, can’t wait for satellites to fall out of the sky because of this one second

HORROR

Or we invent 24 lunar hours and then we’re back to 24 timezones.

However I don’t think keeping the sun overhead at noon is the goal here. That stuff is only important to humans. The real issue is figuring out how to count time on the moon in such a way that it doesn’t run out of sync with how we count time on earth because of relativistic effects.

wouldn’t it just be simple enough to make the Moon GMT

You’d think so, but the problem is that because of gravity, clocks on earth and on the moon will very slowly run out of sync. Idk ask Einstein.

I wasn’t aware it’s one-way, thx for informing me on that.
