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

I disagree. If one book solves half of your problems at random and the other does the same, that’s still 75% on average, and 25% on average will have 2 solutions.

this one’s easy, the magic wands

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

so we can’t have secrets but they can?

I use nova launcher. It allows you to replace any app icon by any png file. So you can download the old icons from the internet and use them on your phone. It’s a lot of work and I agree Google shouldn’t have done this, but at least you can revert it if you want to put in the effort.

Freya Allan in Planet of the Apes…

sexy

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

Instagram… It’s not great but all my friends are there. And it also has kpop.

because they don’t

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

why does it say 2056 when this is already happening in 2024
