I didn’t think folks actually care about ads as much as you think. This place is a bubble in that regard.
Nothing to do with ads for me, it's user tracking.
I agree that AGI is dangerous but I don't see LLMs as evidence that we're close to AGI, I think they should be treated as separate issues.
That's my question too, do they not have a secret ballot in the US? If they do (and I'm pretty sure they do) my advice to OP is to deny who they voted for until they can get to safety, "was just joking about voting Harris" is a perfectly reasonable lie if your safety is threatened, the family would have no proof or way of finding out.
Ironically one of DDG's early selling points, before they fully jumped on the privacy bandwagon, was that they would filter out results for low-effort content farms (this was pre-LLM stuff).
I had used DDG since almost the beginning and it was one of the things I was originally sold on. It's difficult to find a source for it now but I did find this: https://web.archive.org/web/20110608072253/https://www.technologyreview.com/blog/post.aspx?bid=377&bpid=25532
Are you (or is anyone here) daily-driving Stract yet? I discovered it a few months ago and thought it was everything I was looking for in a search engine, but also concluded that its search results aren't up to the standard I can use for now, so I filed it as one to look out for. Would be interested in hearing others' experiences.
It should be yes, though to be fair Americans are the worst for doing this when it's the other way round.
I've always maintained it would have been an amazing game without the glitches. In a way I can appreciate it for what it nearly was.
It's worth a try, though in my experience it can struggle with very large files.
.org was always intended for miscellaneous sites that don't fit anywhere else, I think that's the most appropriate. I mainly remember this from back in "the day" but here's a source I've just found to back me up: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1591
I'm not a big fan of the "new" generic TLDs like .world, they're not part of my hill, I don't really care what they're used for but I think we could do without them. Most Lemmy instances should really be .org in my ideal scheme of things.
Still I'd ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we're here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.
