USA hasn't been a democracy for decades. It's hard to pin it down to a certain tipping point but I'd hazard it was when you decided that corporations are people and buying politicians is free speech.

I mean great if it gets there but in the meantime I'm not going to recommend it to anyone as a google maps replacement. It does look like a good maps.me replacement for hiking though!

Yes but that's not relevant to my comment nor the one I was replying to?

What app is this?

[–] miridius 8 points 5 months ago

I tried it out for a while and yes, it really is as bad as the article implies. I gave it a fair chance for a few weeks and then went back to the old assistant (a task which which gemini was also completely unable to help me with, at one point even gaslighting me and saying I wasn't using Gemini).

It's kind of crazy to think about but it seems like Google is just somehow really terrible at AI

Is that really how it works? I feel like the whole ad based economy is a sham anyway, I wouldn't mind if it collapsed and we funded websites through micropayments or gift economy

Firstly it hasn't actually happened yet, I guess you fell for the misleading windowscentral headline. Secondly it's not really kneecapped, but required them to rewrite, which the uBO author decided not to do (as a statement I guess). Other ad blockers however have made new MV3 compatible versions that are comparable to the MV2 ones, so it's clearly possible. Also don't forget there are other chromium browsers besides chrome, if you use Brave you don't even need to install an ad blocker because it's built in.

Are you... raw dogging the internet without an ad blocker? You poor soul
