But why then are we even getting ads “not aimed at us”? Doesn’t a platform like youtube, which has access to basically all data on the google account, know us better than ourselves? Why all the tracking, only for us to be eternally bothered by stuff we’ll never buy? I’ve lost count of how many “atlas VPN” ads I’ve been bombarded with, and still no intention whatsoever of ever getting it.

It seems to be getting worse every day. I used to always find something interesting to watch, and now my feed seems to be the same 10 videos or so, and the rest is stuff I’ve already watched? I feel stuck in such a small bubble!

Ask yourself - why did everyone got to see photos of the Chinese spy balloon, but nothing of the other 3 objects that were subsequently shot down by F22’s? The military most surely has photos of those objects also, why haven’t they showed them?

What the whistleblowers have been saying is that the government has indisputable evidence in the form of photos, videos, sattelite images, radar tracks, and even recovered crafts and bodies. If you haven’t seen any of that evidence, it’s because they don’t want you to see it. Multiple congressmen have seen it in classified briefings and talked about it, the evidence you want does exist.

Except that he has delivered classified documents and evidence to authorities with the right clearances? Of course he can’t just publish classified documents, unless he wants to end up like Snowden. He is following the correct procedures for whistleblowers, and that’s why you get to see nothing but people with the right clearences do. Multiple congressmen have had classified briefings on the subject and they don’t think Grusch is lying.

The Tic tac was seen, with their eyes, by four different military pilots. It was also captured in multiple different sensor arrays, data that has been classified. The video is the only thing available because it was leaked, but there is other sensor data that corroborates both the video and the pilot’s testimony. We don’t have access to that data only because the military doesn’t want us to.

When I changed from Chrome to Firefox a year ago or so, Firefox imported Chrome’s saved passwords, along with bookmarks and everything else.

I’ve been using GPT4 for a few months now without complaints, it has saved me countless hours of trying to figure stuff out by myself.

Tried Bard, not impressed at all. I did 3 different tests, and got 3 awful results. The website itself looks like a cheap clone of chatGPT.

Never thought I would see Google being left behind by such a long margin.

I think I found a good solution: I created 3 accounts in 3 different instances. In one instance, I only subscribe to serious stuff like worldnews and technology and things like that. In another account, I subscribe only to memes. Both these accounts have NSFW disabled. The third account is the NFSW one.

At least in the Liftoff app, it’s trivial to change between accounts - so I basically have 3 separate feeds, with the added benefit that if any one of the instances is down I can still use Lemmy and see what’s going on in the “All” tab in any of the instances.
