What I like about it is that it’s trained on lots of different sources (including, but not limited to Google, and Bing search results). It then strips out the ads, SEO blog spam, and other nonsense and tries to return the most relevant info for my query. It is leagues better than pure Google. Also, it uses its own LLM unrelated to OpenAI.
A bit unfortunate that I got downvoted for having an opinion and sharing it.
I know Lemmy likes to hate on AI, but my default search engine is http://perplexity.ai and it’s great
I’m a huge fan of the fediverse and I didn’t even get the fed reference haha. A typical user surely wouldn’t get it either!
Not a big fan of the name. Even PixelFeed would make more sense.
I can’t stand the topics you mentioned either and I make a big effort to filter them out whenever possible! There’s a tool called https://siftrss.com/ which can be the middle man between you and your RSS feeds. It allows you to filter out any articles containing black listed keywords which is super handy.
My biggest frustration about modern RSS feeds is that the articles are often incomplete. Some clients are able to get the full feed anyway but it usually results in broken formatting.
Here are my favorite news sources:

I’m conflicted. I really appreciated the quote at the beginning but the actual article seems so poorly written. Grammatical errors, run-on sentences, etc. Gave up half way through.
The water looks very 80s and early 90s. I like it a lot.
I just want to start off by saying Arrrr, I’m on your side.
But I just don’t follow the logic. Netflix is selling both service and content. When people pay for Netflix… yes they pay for infrastructure related to streaming content. They also pay toward the cost of producing original content and acquiring licenses.
I’ve seen this saying going around and while I do like it, something about it bugs me. These corpos want to treat everything as a service. If you acquire content from a service via illegal means you are indeed still stealing, no?
This story has essentially caused a 20% off coupon for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to circulate my lemmy feed for the past 2 days. I am a chubby man with a weak heart that hungers for these types of comfort food games and this subliminal advertising is hard for me to resist.
I’ve had the same thought before but then I don’t want to become one of those older out of touch people. I think each generation feels like the world was in better shape when they were younger. But the truth is that many of the young kids today will look back on 2023 with the same fondness and nostalgia as I do when I think about the 1990s. Back in the day older people would warn us that video games and television would rot our brains. Now we warn our kids that TikTok will do the same. Everything is always getting faster and faster but young people are adaptable and I think they’ll find their way.
I googled it and the last game released on the Xbox 360 was Just Dance 2019. Not as long ago as I would have thought!

Why can’t I do both? 😊
I am already protesting so many of their services and products.
I do not wish for their stream of consciousness to invade my internet 24/7. I can easily disable my plugin and get a general idea of what they’ve been up to whenever I feel like it.
I try to avoid corpo media as well! But still… if you sort this community by the Top posts in last 24 hours there are a handful of posts about Elon Musk and friends. At least those of us who browse the desktop version of Lemmy can ignore such posts.
I laughed out loud at this suggestion. Love it. I can imagine this could lead to some confusion if a user blocks a common name, like John Smith… but let me give it some more thought!
This was exactly my experience as well! The same thing happened with Witcher 3. Sooo much hype but no matter how many times I’ve gone back to it, I just can’t get into it.
