Wow, I know so little about this topic and I'm learning all kinds of cool things. Thanks for the comment. I'd never thought about aerobic being the opposite of anaerobic before either.

That's really interesting. I didn't realize the burning in slow motion thing was so literal. Thanks for the comment!

Can you explain that first part in more detail? I really know nothing about this and I'm curious to hear more.

I stand corrected! I'm glad to be wrong about this one. Hard not to be cynical these days and it's easy to assume ulterior motlves.

Can you explain it to me? I'm just repeating what I've been told and I'm not a financial person.
Edit: nvm, I just read the other responders links.

Edit: I've been corrected in the comments. Happy to be wrong about this so thanks to the correctors.
Charitable donations can be written off on the businesses taxes, so by having customers pay for the donations it means the company gets to double dip. They write it off and the customer reimburses them for it.
Moral of the story: don't donate to corporations. Give it directly to a charity.

Was just gonna make the rotten tomatoes comparison. These types of sites turn a spectrum binary. It's either fresh or rotten. People might enjoy a game with a polarized critical reaction, but when you check metacritic you see 61 with a sickly yellow color behind the number and an opinionated adjective beside it.
These types of sites would do better to highlight polarized media in a different way, as most really interesting art does not get universal acclaim. High aggregator scores are really a sign of mass market appeal more than anything else.

My wife and I had a great realtor and she was worth every penny. Totally agree with this.

So its like an individual runs the search engine? Like a lemmy instance?

It really caught me off guard. I had another search later today after I posted this that only had one Ad at the top, so it seems like it depends on the search term. I'm not thrilled this is even possible though 😒

That sounds like a big plus. Someone else said this was some self hosted thing though which is over my head unfortunately

Nice this one sounds great! I actually like cards in moderation, just not so many I can't see the results without scrolling.

This one looks really good. I'm not sure how they make money though.

This one gives crypto vibes. They talk about earning tokens for using but don't explain what they do.

What about it is worth paying for?
I've been using duckduckgo for years now with no issues, but today I opened it and realized there were no longer any search results before scrolling. It was all ads/info cards. So I guess I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions? Related: anyone know if there's a way in the Adnauseum Firefox extension to hide ads on a specific trusted site? I like their goal of not punishing ads following the do not track standard, but DDG has crossed a threshold and I now want to blacklist them specifically.

Hopefully it stays that way. I've read horror stories about buildings hiring HOA management companies out of nowhere who take over and turn things shitty. 😔

Yeah American Cheese the product is some crazy shit. You should try some artisan cheese from Wisconsin, though. World class stuff over there. I had a 15 year cave aged cheddar from there once and I'm still thinking about it to this day.

I think it's a really important question though, and one that bears repeating again and again. AI was built on a complete disregard for consent, and that continued disregard makes it all very unconscionable.

No offense to nebula (I'm rooting for them) but unless you exclusively watch news and educational content it basically has nothing to offer. I tried it for a year and I ended up barely using it because I don't watch that type of content.

Damn you aren't kidding! It's written weirdly past tense, too, for an article talking about a brand new game. "It became a cultural phenomenon".

My opinion is that if your data or work is within an AI training set you should be given free access to any tools using that data. That's only fair considering these companies also think everything should be free for them to take.
Is there any way in boost to browse all communities on an instance other than your own?
I'm so impressed with the regular events in Lowland Shore so far. I think they're the best in the game excepting maybe Grothmar. Just like that zone they managed to make almost all of them have some little gameplay twist or gimmick that makes them more interesting than bog standard versions we've seen a hundred times before. I'm honestly having so much fun exploring this map and just taking it in as it comes. Such a great feeling after years of repetitive meta events that all boil down to the same zerg rush gameplay. Janthir actually makes me want to log in and get lost in the world in a way I haven't felt for a while.
I use Gboard. The main things I like about it are: - Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter). - Has gif support built in. My biggest pain point is: - It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance. Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄
I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related. Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can't-believe-it's-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I'm going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people's feelings on this before I do.
What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I'm just looking to find some lesser known games for a change. Edit: I'm checking all of these out, thanks everyone!
Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.
I haven't been following the general reactions to the new patch, but fair warning going into this that I personally was pretty disappointed in it from a story standpoint. I was very pleased with Soto overall, and I think they seriously improved on many of the issues I've had with the writing over the years, but I can't help but feel that somehow it has regressed in the newest patch. The crux of my issue is that I want to distrust peitha and keep her at arms length, but it really feels like the story is making it crystal clear that I'm not allowed to feel that way. The speed at which not just my character, but even the astral ward, an organization dedicated to stopping her kind for thousands of years, is happy to not only help her, but to frequently espouse how much they trust her completely. I don't think I've ever felt less connected to my character. I was hoping for the story to keep her in a suspicious and interesting place, where we're helping her for now but no one is sure what to think yet. Instead we're back to the often hamfisted story telling of the end of dragons era, where it feels like every character is to be taken at complete face value. To be honest I hope she does betray us, because that would at least be an interesting direction, and something to shake my character's naive level of confidence. Though if they do go that way at this point they laid it on pretty thick with the implicit trust angle. I'm curious if anyone else feels the same, or differently. Would love to hear other's takes on it.
I've been trying to get the app setup today, and I'm struggling to find communities through search. It seems like the search is only checking communities on my instance, not everywhere? Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't find a way to search the broader fediverse.
