But do they like it when people outside of Germany do it? I just asked a question and said “I’m not sure”, and still got downvoted.

The same people who didn’t understand that Google uses a SEO algorithm to promote sites regardless of the accuracy of their content, so they would trust the first page.

If people don’t understand the tools they are using and don’t double check the information from single sources, I think it’s kinda on them. I have a dietician friend, and I usually get back to him after doing my “Google research” for my diets… so much misinformation, even without an AI overview. Search engines are just best effort sources of information. Anyone using Google for anything of actual importance is using the wrong tool, it isn’t a scholar or research search engine.

I’m really confused…Are they downvoting me because Germany did not change nuclear with fossils? That’s what everyone was saying in the news… I’m not European… Sorry if I’m not up to date with German politics… It was literally a question. Lemmy is so toxic.

It really depends on the type of information that you are looking for. Anyone who understands how LLMs work, will understand when they’ll get a good overview.

I usually see the results as quick summaries from an untrusted source. Even if they aren’t exact, they can help me get perspective. Then I know what information to verify if something relevant was pointed out in the summary.

Today I searched something like “Are owls endangered?”. I knew I was about to get a great overview because it’s a simple question. After getting the summary, I just went into some pages and confirmed what the summary said. The summary helped me know what to look for even if I didn’t trust it.

It has improved my search experience… But I do understand that people would prefer if it was 100% accurate because it is a search engine. If you refuse to tolerate innacurate results or you feel your search experience is worse, you can just disable it. Nobody is forcing you to keep it.

It’s an expression. In this context Elon is the broken clock and saying desktops should run Linux is one of the rare times he’s been right about something.

Isn’t Germany changing nuclear for fossils? That’s the last I heard but I’m not up to date.

Oh wow, good fun fact.

As a non-native speaker, I’ve been calling this planet “your anus” because I never heard it being pronounced before, and these internet jokes made me think it was pronounced the same way. Like “if it’s funny it’s probably because they sound the same”.

If you ever feel stupid just think of this.

Once again. If you’re traveling to a developing country and someone tries to steal from you, what do you do? YOU LET IT HAPPEN.

Why? Because for them your phone is worth more than your life.

You let it happen, don’t look at their faces, don’t scream, don’t run, don’t move your hands, don’t try to bargain, don’t chase after them, don’t look in their direction once they are gone…

You come from a rich country, you’ll recover financially, just let it happen and move on. It’s crazy how rich people come to these countries thinking they have some kind of imaginary bulletproof shield.

I saw a thieve kill a teenage girl because she resisted for a couple of seconds. Bam, stabbed in the neck, she dropped after 3 seconds.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. You win… THIS TIME. But I’m keeping my eye on you.

GODDAMN SPOILERS

Ah ok, you know it’s hard catching sarcasm when the internet is full of crazy people. That’s why /s exists. Specially hard when this is an actual card played by pro-israel jews.

I’m Jewish, so I can say it though?

Do you think pointing out a genocide is like the N word or something?

Not the onion?.. hm… That’s something The onion would say…

Why are you calling him Nazi… Damn, I was gone from Lemmy for 4 months and came back to this childish shit. I’m out again.

I always imagine Kelly

Stakes are real, but still, don’t use children for politics.

People understand what a kid is without having to expose them to the world as trans at such a young age.

Did they really change this politician’s mind?

For me the problem is that parents can sabotage their questioning period by steering them. Just let them be. For me, this mother taking her kids to something political like this is steering and not letting the kid figure things out themselves.

So, the kid read the newspaper and asked to go there?

It’s a kid. Do you think a kid knows what transexual means without an adult telling them? Or what a politician or laws mean? Or that the politician was going to be there? Did the kid tell the mother what to say?

Please explain to me how this could have happened, a likely scenario, in which the mother didn’t push this on the child.
