@ajsadauskas
I agree we need better and remember the early days well. Before indexes we passed URLs, in fact just IP addresses of servers we'd visit to see what was there, and that was often a directory of documents, papers etc. It filled us with awe, but let's not dial back that far!

Another improvement will be #LocalLLMs both for privacy and personalised settings. Much of the garbage now is in service of keeping us searching rather than finding what we want.

@geoffervescent @ernest ah, so he said "effortless in comparison to..." I must have missed that. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It was a joke folks, but an accurate one and people replying to pretend otherwise need to consider why they're doing that IMO.

@ampersandrew @ernest you speak as if you think I've never ridden a bike.

No gearing makes riding up hills "effortless" and sure if you're being pushed up by a motor that's fine, but that's not really a bike, it's a motorbike.

@ernest in a land where you only ever go down hills maybe!

 

I avoid apps because they syphon data from your phone and sell it, but I regularly used and paid for @redditwasfun which is now dead thanks to capitalism.

Uninstalling... #Reddit and have replaced with #kbin.

Was a moderator on Reddit since 2014 but won't contribute there again and will do my best to never put my content on another commercial platform, nor read/share their links.

I host my dWeb blog and have four fedi personas, but what I'm waiting for is #SafeNetwork cos servers suck. #p2p
