Having to do most real things besides browsing the internet via command line on 2025 is definitely a sign of gatekeeping , imo. Yours may vary

No. I mean consult and discuss with them.

yep. all we have to do is keep incrementally improving lives with tech, instead of being assholes to each other. Imagine the world, if peace was the most researched branch

fair enough

I like brave

they are both wrong. one is just as bad

no, its built into other apps. doesnt ask for anything then, the other apps do, Alphonso just listens in those apps

It would better to make peer tube super easy to use without needing to do more than cluck once on. A button and get going

The thing holding open source back is the gatekeeping. Developers could spend more time actually working with u.i experts to make things easy, but no. Rather make everyone think it’s some magic that requires 50 steps.

Make it easy to do business and give them a great product. That’s all that needs to be done. Do that foss community, and you’ll win.

This is the lure of a. I. And it’s insidious.

No. That’s generalizing

It depends on the person learning. You may get more out of a video and I may get more from a book

It’s a thinly veiled maga piece. Time to boycott yahoo. This is Donny and friends controlling the media

I don’t give a damn if I miss out on the coolest thing ever. Spying on us is wrong. That’s how we got Donny. By letting the elite do what they want.

So this article is suspect. It says that we’re not being recorded so some distance advertiser can run ads, yet Alphonso was caught doing just that.

Do better “journalists”

Honestly a. I. search is going to be worse in many ways. We can no longer be sure that anything online is real. That means everything is suspect.

And if everything is suspect, nothing can be taken at face value.

But since that requires research to verify, most people will accept the false results. It will lead to a dumbing down of people and the loss of critical thinking skills as the attention span is shorter and shorter.

As for SEO. It won’t really die. It will be niche, a nice to have but it won’t be the needle mover it used to be. As A. I. is integrated behind the scenes in ways which we can’t see , the data will be presented according to the desires and goals of the controller of the search engine.

True agnostic search has been dead for awhile, this just dropped the casket into the water

I won’t use Firefox or chrome anymore. Same goals. Different appearance

I did. A. I. optimization is going to be, indeed is, a thing that will displace SEO.

After 20+ years in SEO, I say with confidence that we ARE seeing the evolution of SEO to AIO.

yeah, I think I remember the 80s pretty well. Ran Wildcat boards before prodigy was a thing. Its nowhere near as tedious or limited as it was then.

you know, I honestly have never struggled even for a second with it. there’s lots of reasons not to use it, and I’m migrating away, but this is a very strange and quite frankly, super subjective, take. Two clicks to get to whatever I’m doing isn’t that much.

As an old guy, this is the dumbest line. Google drive is easy as hell to use. Easier than the PCs I used in the 80’s, that’s for sure
