Nonsense. Your metaphor is not analogous.
Sophisticated tech firms do extensive analysis with reference groups, A/B testing, et cetera.
Guaranteed, they’ve found that they get better engagement with their product through these AI results.
This might shock you but a group of 14 year olds complaining on Lemmy is not an indicative sample of opinions.
Hyperbole & subjective. Flatpaks aren’t all that.
My point is, it seems like moat people disagree with you given that search providers put this stuff in their results.
Obviously I pay for a search engine. The advertising funded web is shit.
That’s true, but I think people still appreciate it… like it’s accurate enough, enough of the time, for people to find it helpful.
I like kagi more than ddg. It’s not free but meh.
Ugh. Do you really want that though? They do have a store don’t they? Just no one wants to use it.
Debian has had a browseable catalog since forever but it’s still waaay better to just go to a third party’s website and see how they say to install whatever thing.
I feel like most commenters here would think “no one wants the stupid ai response”, but obviously some people like it or they wouldn’t do it. I think if your searches are more general kind of “can I catch chicken pox from chickens” type questions it might be helpful ?
Dude. When you’re looking at whatever search just right click in the url bar and there will be an option to add that search engine. Then in settings you can make it your default if you wish.
The reason I don’t use SearXNG is because the public instances always seem to be slow and or broken.
The flag looks a bit like a disgruntled goose.
is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?
Yes.
It’s so cheap to send SMS messages, and you don’t pay for undeliverable messages, so they can just send to random numbers.
They also receive deliverability responses for each number. So they know whether a phone received the message whether or not you reply.
Finally, if you reply STOP you’re unlikely to fit their demographic very well anyway. As in… they’re not trying to reach the type of people who will actively try to avoid receiving these messages.
That said, there’s probably no point replying STOP because most firms just wont honor it in the long term. As in they might not message you for the remainder of that particular messaging project (campaign), but they’ll just start a new campaign tomorrow with a new sender and no “STOP” requests.
My opinion doesn’t mean much since it’s been forever since I tried any other distro but I’m surprised Debian isn’t on the beginners list.
it might be a bit too involved for an absolute beginner to configure to perfection
I’m not really sure what this means? It might be more accurate to say it’s not the best distro if you’d like to tinker with your desktop experience.
Notably, nothing on the beginners list ought to be run as a headless server, but debian is perfect for that job. The reason I’ve become so enamoured with debian over the years is that I can use it on my desktop and on servers and it’s the same system - everything is exactly where I’m used to it being.
Yeah but he’s managed to make the conversation about his fitness to govern rather than Trumps. That’s quite a feat.
Thunderbird is fine.
Maybe I have too much grey in my beard - I don’t care how modern it looks.
refuse.
That’s just not practically possible.
OP said they’re running a small business. It’s great that they want to fly the flag for FOSS, but they’re not in the business of promoting and advocating for FOSS. They still need to do the things they need to do.
Refusing to file your taxes on the grounds that the software provided is not open source is a great way to no longer be in business.
Perhaps.
I’m less optimistic. The world over voters seem to be drawn towards these populist assholes, and I think it’s important to note that the UK is not an exception, despite the labour victory.
I fear that next election reform is going to do much better.
In the mean time, Labor may not have much of a mandate for progressive policies, they’ll be creeping to the right to quell support for reform party.
Nice. These look great.
Do you know if it will turn off entirely if the temp is low enough? Or they just idle away at 300rpm or so.
oh man. This is perfect. Thankyou.
I was actually looking at these on amazon but I mistakenly thought that the term “temperature controlled” included in the product name was just SEO bullshit, referring to the mobo controlling the temperature.
I see now that these ones do it themselves.
This is the way.
… and yet here we are ?
