Where’d my results go? Google Search’s chatbot is no longer opt-in
  • It's a good point, Google is missing the boat in terms of how people use search engines, i.e. as navigational rather than question question answering. But also, calling SGE a chatbot is missing the point of what Google is trying to do.

  • YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams
  • Something else to be aware of is compromised LinkedIn profiles. I was recently contacted by a very real looking profile on LinkedIn, who was supposedly recruiting for a very real position at a very real company that the profile actually worked for. Red flags were:

    1. Bad english/spelling in messages
    2. Compensation a little too good to be true
    3. Sounded too easy to 'get' the job
    4. Person's job title had nothing to do with recruitment until very recently
    5. 'Application form' they sent me looked a little bogus

    They wanted me to fill out a form with all my info., including SSN, and send photocopies of my ID. When I asked for an email address at the company in question to send everything to, they ghosted me.

    Yikes, that one almost got me. Advice here is to always manually 'two factor' identify people who contact you out of the blue.

    Safe hunting folks.

  • requesting modship to [email protected]
  • Ok, so that specific *@ has some long history I'm not aware of. Still raises the question - I thought the point of this type of thing was that you don't have to deal with derelict communities 'run' by absent moderators - you can just go somewhere else? Right? Or am I just being a jerk here.

  • Any extension to deal with AI-generated articles?
  • Most of the internet was already BS before 'working' LLMs, where do you think the models learned it from? I think what you want is a crap detector, and I'm with you. Any ideas good ideas and I'll donate my time to work on it.

  • Good Morning fellow nerds,
  • Think that will do the trick - just double checked and mine is running on a xeon E3-1290, that's a Sandy Bridge chip, so think 2nd gen! It's got 16 GB memory and an SSD and is perfectly happy running the matrix server, a minecraft server for my kid, immich for photos, a wireguard tunnel for external ssh access and an rsync server for backups of other machines. Even still has some legs left for video streaming and light gaming.

  • Good Morning fellow nerds,
  • I have been doing exactly this for the past six months or so - if you aren't concerned about federation and are happy with a small private server, the hardware requirements are minimal. I run mine on a ~2010 era Dell 'SOTR' edition (side of the road) that I got for about 10 bucks at a junk shop.

  • Beyond OpenAPI
  • This is too verbose to be usefull. The narrative style makes it hard to extract information. The reader is duely impressed with the writer's knowledge, but that impression is about all that is gained by the read - 'I'm smart and know how this should be done".

    Organize and emphasize the result and the method to obtain it.

  • Be honest, do you still use reddit?
  • Nope, not at all. Uninstalled weeks ago. Actively avoid in search results. Had been subconsciously looking to move on for a long time. See ya later, better things to do and places to be.

  • YSK about Wargames

    Like choose your-own-ending novels and BASH? What would you do if you suddenly had ssh access to someone else's server? This is a really fun corner of the net. Excellent resource/trainer/time-waster. When I talk to people from the DIY linux/selfhosting/FOSS communities, many folks haven't heard of it.

    What other cool stuff do you know about? Think it sucks and want to tell me why?

    Note: I am not at all associated with this project - just think it's a valuable stop on the good 'ole internet.

    Posts made in one lemmy app not showing up in another

    I have been trying out various lemmy apps for android and have come across an annoying quirk. If I make a post using one lemmy app (liftoff) it does not appear in my profile on another lemmy app (Jerboa). Same seems to be true for comments and subscriptions.

    I am not sure if this is the expected behavior. Maybe I am missing something or misunderstanding how my profile's data is stored.

    My intuition says that if I am logged into the same server with the same user my profile should be the same, regardless of the app I am using. Is this not the case? If so, why not?

    Thanks for your insight in advance!
