I saw an ad for Oura that made me chuckle the other day. It said “Oura - the original and most trusted ring” or something like that, and I thought “oh there are other ones to choose from, that are likely just as good and cheaper? Thanks for letting me know!”

Ah cool I didn’t know that, thank you!

Also try to use the Container feature in Firefox. I have acting Google all contained in one subset for example, so none of their tabs gets a view on my other tabs.

Great qualities, I’ll give it a try thank you!

I like the sound of it! Kagi is working well for me, but will consider trying this out very soon.

How do you feel about paid search like Kagi? I’ve been using it and think it’s great. No tracking, apparently.

Hold up - can anyone else read many of the comments in this thread and notice that many seem to be bots, all repeating comments by other users but slightly changed as if by AI and automated?

The commentary in this thread reads as very unnatural. (I agree with the skepticism of Google, it’s not that, it’s the syntax of the thread).

It’s the “unknown unknowns” that are really scary, beyond the short term ability it’s easy to understand now. All the ability extrapolated, layered and multiplied.

Dude what the f, the pandemic was real as heck.

Yes, works well, no issue.

So they can overwhelm it, when they become the majority of the users they become in charge with the loudest voice. Then they steer it their way or make sure it dies.

Aye great read and very illuminating. We gotta protect the fediverse from corporate insidious destruction. This quote stood out to me:

And because there were far more Google talk users than “true XMPP” users, there was little room for “not caring about Google talk users”. Newcomers discovering XMPP and not being Google talk users themselves had very frustrating experience because most of their contact were Google Talk users. They thought they could communicate easily with them but it was basically a degraded version of what they had while using Google talk itself. A typical XMPP roster was mainly composed of Google Talk users with a few geeks.

In 2013, Google realised that most XMPP interactions were between Google Talk users anyway. They didn’t care about respecting a protocol they were not 100% in control. So they pulled the plug and announced they would not be federated anymore. And started a long quest to create a messenger, starting with Hangout (which was followed by Allo, Duo. I lost count after that).

Love it! Keep it coming

Crappily malicious username you have there, are you the baddie?

All I can say is Slavi Ukraine! Stay strong and I hope you persevere.

Excellently said! Can I nominate you to represent me in the fediverse?

Ok I had read that too. A different interpretation of your take on that is that he builds products (the app that accesses content) not the whole platform itself (Reddit or Lemmy). So it’s still possible he could build an app for Lemmy. He just wouldn’t try to build the whole ecosystem like Lemmy is.

I’m testing Memmy and it’s rapidly being amazing, super impressed

I didn’t know that, he say why?

Could they also use Seth Myers please? He, of the famed Corrections and target of the Jackals attention is also a worthy public figure.
