Be better if it was just banned worldwide period and the “TikTok influencer” crowd can go get real jobs and perhaps users can improve their attention spans again.

yawn

Hardly embarrassing - you don’t seem to understand light hearted banter clearly….yes I was playing on Murphy/Muphry.

Geez straight to name calling though - classy 🙄

Have a nice life.

Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?

I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.

But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.

“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!

God save us ….

I just read it myself, as a “mature age” student at University in 2024 I have often sarcastically asked some of the 18-21 cohort in the class if they need the old person to show them how to use a computer when they don’t even know that a “program” for a PC/Mac is just another word for “app” even the teachers look shocked when you hear most of the class nod in agreement about not knowing what software actually is and that it can be installed without an “App Store”.

I think the thing is most people just see computers and tech as just another appliance the same as a microwave and to know anything more than “turning it on and off again” is just seen as far too nerdy or a waste of time when they can get on the internet and read their influencers on social media or just watch YouTubers instead….

But they are the first to complain when “the internet doesn’t work!!”

That blog could have been written today!!

I really don’t care to pay for access to a search engine that’s private, good results, no AI garbage results or reddit results….but you can say that you get what you pay for really…

It’s an insignificant amount of money considering some people spend a lot more than that in a day on a take away coffee….

I am currently testing Kagi (they have a free tier limited to 100 search queries) and it’s the BEST.

I haven’t seen garbage AI or Reddit results in two days and actually find what I am looking for….

Going back to Google? - never, I’ll pay to use Kagi rather than subject myself to Googles AI garbage now after only two days.

I’m glad I live in Australia where this doesn’t happen thanks to previous attempts by IP copyright holders (mainly US based ones) to have similar policies forced upon ISP’s here and being told by judges here that the penalties and expectations and demands made by these said IP copyright holding companies was over the top and excessive and thrown out of court…..

Huh? I’m an Aussie and the last time I checked we are a seperate country from New Zealand and OUR government basically saw to it that OUR citizen was returned home and unlike this bloke, Assange has hardly had it “easy” living in an embassy or recently jail…..Dotcom has been living large in NZ in comparison…..

There were no back door deals about this guy for Assange - completely different situations….🤦🏼‍♀️

That’s funny and sadly accurate 🤣

Well that’s nothing new - I worked for them “briefly” (as in weeks - ended up with a better job offer!!) and as an actual aircraft mechanic I was disgusted by what I saw - they had supervising roles filled with non-aircraft trades people, training was done by a former boat mechanic, there were butchers and carpenters - who, if you asked them thought they were far more capable than an aircraft mechanic as, actual aircraft trades are considered “problematic” by Boeing management (who are all ex Toyota staff for the most part…) because - aircraft mechanics are too slow for a production line environment as we tend to take our time too much for their liking (oh because we want to get it right first time?!) 🤦🏼‍♀️

I left and a week later the Max was grounded - the garbage that was spewing from senior management right before the grounding was eye roll inducing - about how they stand by the product bla bla bla and have no idea how shiny new aircraft could just fall out the sky…..of course we know how that turned out for them….

But yeah, Boeing, like Rolls Royce are not the brand a lot of people should think of as “high quality” until they sort their QA shit out and start employing actual aircraft tradespeople and engineeers who know what they are doing 🤷🏼‍♀️
