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 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:

You could also skip the movies and go straight to No Mans Sky, the video game.

Vanilla Sky! It’s a truly mind bending movie, with an absolutely perfect soundtrack. I’ve probably seen this movie more than any other. I still find personal meaning in it 20+ years after my first watch as a kid when my older brother decided to see it in the theaters and took me along. I was confused but moved by it and I didn’t know why. Love came after the second watch.

Same, except I turn it into farts.

I helped create life and It was orgasmic!

Do I need to play any of the other Tales games in order to enjoy Berseria? There’s so many of them! Seems a bit overwhelming to get into

I almost went down that rabbit hole after watching the Netflix F1 show haha. Never watched a race before that.

This looks right up my alley but unfortunately it’s not on PlayStation!

I started pwning noobs online in Quake 3 Arena on my family PC. One day my older brother’s friend saw me playing and was like “… you do know you can use the mouse to aim?”

I did not know.

I somehow had mastered controlling the character like a tank with my keyboard.

Eeyore on Adavan

Despite all these omissions, it had alloy wheels and a spoiler from the factory!

Thanks for the laughs

The worst car I’ve ever driven was also the best because it lasted me until I was able to get on my own two feet and afford a new one: Nissan Sentra 97’.

• around 200,000 miles the engine literally began falling out from the bottom of the rusted frame. I took it to a mechanic and they ran a wire underneath to hold it in place. Drove it for 5 more years after that!
• Driver side window would not stay closed during Chicago winters so I glued it shut.
• Dashboard lights burnt out.
• Muffler would scrape across the pavement as I courted my girlfriend (now wife) around town.

Days off are a state of mind. I’m proud to say that my mind hasn’t worked in years!

I sometimes see myself as a “Browncoat” from the Firefly universe. Fiercely loyal, scrappy, with a rebellious nature trying to live in the fringes of the system without succumbing to it.

Beautiful. That’s exactly what I was imagining!

I really enjoy these types of anecdotes. Was the case with a bolted-on handle military themed? My buddy had one of those!

What a blast from the past! Totally forgot that these were a thing lol.
