  • Yeah it wouldn’t bother me so much if any of it was actually useful, but they all just read like a lazy student padding out the page count on a college paper

    I searched for a comparison between two USB flash drive brands and the top result waffled for multiple paragraphs about the history and definition of “flash memory” before finally recommending: “just get whichever one has the best performance in your price range”. Gee, thanks AI.


  • It’s tough because I almost feel like I need a whitelist at this point. 90% of the first page of Google results usually read like AI-generated fluff that doesn’t actually even answer my question. There are a handful of websites I trust now to give me real information and not just clickbait SEO nonsense.

    I’m at the point where I add “reddit” to the end of every search just to try and find something that was written by a real person. Maybe someday I can start adding “lemmy” instead.











  • and this time i’m not even dual booting.

    I’m so close to doing the same thing. We’re at the point where proton compatibility is good enough that most of the games in my library work. And even if a game truly doesn’t work on Linux at all, I just talk myself out of buying it anyway.

    I think I pretty much only boot up Windows once every few weeks to keep it updated.
