I definitely moved to DuckDuckGo the moment I realized Google was ignoring the text I was writing on the search box. I was searching for a bug fix in my code for weeks, something very niche and difficult to find. When I finally got the answer and moved on to the following bug, Google kept mixing my previous bug with the new one, making it impossible to find the right answer. It got so used to me being focused on that niche thing, it couldn't believe I moved past it.

DuckDuckGo forced me to write "smart queries" again, giving context on the search text. But it gave me the results I needed. Not the ones Google googlexplained me I needed.

If our hope is on ChatGPT and its friends, we are doomed.

In a couple of years there will be entire webpages automatically generated with content no human has reviewed. Not even read. And they will be so optimized for SEO, they will be the first results on most search engines.

And the content of those webpages will be crappy. Elegantly written, yes, perfect English. No grammatical errors. But it will tell you the recipe of gazpacho is done with hot spicy tomato sauce and that the acne you have can be cured by sleeping naked under the moon the second Thursday of the month.

I already miss the human-generated internet and we are still here!

To get augmented reality working you need first to solve the VR sickness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_sickness

I know augmented reality is "one step behind" from a full virtual reality, but it drags the same issues with putting in front of your eyes things that move and glitch without your brain fully understanding why and what is happening.

I was here before the federation broke and was able to interact with the rest of the fediverse. Please, be patient, it will come back :)

From experience escalating other projects, he's probably at the stage where the urgent (the site collapsing) is done before the important (delegating tasks). If he stops to delegate tasks, the normal functioning of the site will collapse.

Anyone who wants to volunteer and don't know where to start can start by going to the currently opened PR and reviewing them, testing them, improving them. Of course @ernest will have to review them afterwards. But if three independent developers say they already tested and reviewed and reported the potential mistakes, that makes his life much much easier.
