Tesla’s are basically screens on wheels.

Life sucks. But it can change a lot in a year if you try.

A lot of things, which is why you need to do your own research. Chatgpt can answer pretty much all your questions.

This ain't just Google. SEO effectively killed all search engines. As an IT guy who's been googling shit before I was 10, I can't find shit anymore.

I've seen a few people mention exactly what you said, so either it's Google A/B testing some dumb shit, or it's because you haven't been using Google the same way I have in the past. I don't just look for information that is objective, few years back, Google was very good at providing links to articles with steps to do X. Nowadays it always redirects me to sites where words related to X are mentioned the most, rather than providing useful information.

I think you can filter out Quora results using uBlock, but you need to Google it so, good luck haha

Sadly this is how I feel too. Everything is trying to squeeze a dime out of my eyes. Man I don't even buy shit unless I absolutely need it.

This is the issue though. I subscribed to chatgpt plus hoping it would do the work for me, but chatgpt (although it understands a lot) still fails to tell me what I need by 'browsing the web'. I also tried every other known search engine out there but sadly the results are very similar (ddg, bing). So I feel like I'm trapped in a loop where I can't get out.

No shit

Reddit is still a lot more crowded, but I prefer Lemmy simply because of no ads and the actual conversations that you can have with people.

We base64'd your data for enhanced encryption!!!1!1!

It's been around a year since a lot of us quit Reddit, myself included. I'm happy with Lemmy, but I still feel a bit lost online since leaving the old site. Discussion?

Been thinking of making a post like this for some time, apologies if some of this is not completely relevant: this community seems more like it's about Reddit the platform/product than Reddit the social "thing", but I'm sure a lot of people have similar experiences to mine. Maybe on some instances more than others....

If you're on Android, try Instagram lite. Still works without ads.

I don't know man. Putting the word "privacy" on a billboard doesn't mean that you take it seriously. Marketing agencies basically listen to every conversation you have and there's at least one application that accesses your location all the time on each platform. I used to go crazy thinking about these topics but there is simply no avoiding it, so I gave up.

To me iPhones are 🤏 this close to being a feature phone so I will keep my Android. You give the same data to Google by using their services anyway. 🤷‍♂️
