Yeah, manual searching is definitely better in that case. AI could be use as a last resort if you can’t find something or just a quick answer, and even in that, it isn’t reliable much since depending on what AI is trained on and the company behind it. I.e save electricity, your time and use manual searching…

Not a fan of AI but i did use Duck.ai a couple of times and when i asked, it usually put the source under its answer.

Mostly Imageboards, at least the ones i see. I think the word maxxing was used first in incel communities.

I am not sure but i read something like that before, probably the reason. Although it’s possible to use newer chrome on Windows 7 by using Vxkex - when it was being developed - or using Supermium, even Steam worked for sometime with Vxkex.

Forsake Electron, Chrome-based Steam client and return to the old ways, was it pre-2020 or 2019? Or at least bring back the old small mode which used to be able to run Steam without web features.

I just finished reading Donald D. Hoffman - The Case Against Reality. I skipped some pages when it got into physics because i am not that bright when it came to that stuff; otherwise it’s a good book and i do agree with how each species have their own interface, i.e we don’t see reality as it is, rather what benefits us for our survival and procreation. It’s a bit wordy too. Right now, I am reading Joseph Conrad short story The Idiots just for the sake of improving vocabulary and English, and probably will read his other ones as well. BTW am i the only one who sees his writing a bit hard to grasp, his description are always wordy.

A few months ago, I finished Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. While i did resort to dictionary for some words, but i didn’t experience any difficulty understanding there, unlike Joseph’s stuff, so my English isn’t that bad i think.

True about Javascript since almost all webpages nowadays use it and all use cloudflare as well. But since when does the Cloudflare verification need you to disable adblocker? It never happens with me. I am using Ublock Origins.

Openshot? Did you check this site https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives? If all you do is cutting videos, then maybe losslesscut would be good for you too.

Btw Piefed has a feature where you could blur posts by bots. Does that exist on Lemmy or the one you have?

Anyway, I usually browse for the ones i subscribed to but i do check out from all fediverse to see if there’s any new ones to subscribe to. I don’t see any recommendations or algorithms here.

I am not native English speaker but the first two sound pretty nice, almost close to native? The last one gives off the slavic accent at the very beginning. All of them sound okay and don’t have the ridiculous accent of slavs you see in movies and films.

Yea I do remember the donald, they weren’t really incel though, just a political sub if i am not wrong. Incels had their own subs as well that got purged at the time along with many ones as well. What was good about Reddit back then was that the platform allowed freedom to a large extent, didn’t bother as long as it wasn’t something in your face that violated the rules, either that, or they didn’t care back then.

True. For me, the quality there pretty much degraded around 2015-6 or at least that was when i started to notice the increase of bot use and such, but some would say it was even before that when one of its founder died. Even after that period it was still tolerable compared to what we have now.

Not defending that site at all, but not sure who’s to blame more here, Reddit or the whole AI shitshow?
