Tbh I find it hard to believe that it’s actually better, knowing how many resources Google probably poured into getting the summaries right already. If the same amount of scrutiny were applied to Kagi’s summaries, people would probably find similarly embarrassing answers.

I mean… It’s 100% the same here on Lemmy as well

Of course not, did I say they were?

Human brain waves are affected ever so slightly by magnetic fields, some people’s more than others. It might very well be that there’s some kind of subtle subconscious effect of the Earth’s magnetic field on our sense of orientation.

Honestly, kind of a blessing. It’s not like you could do much about it if you knew.

So glad to see that others are noticing this too… The hive mind effect also feels even stronger than it used to on Reddit, probably because the audience here is less diverse.

Without knowing the data, I’m pretty sure I’m politically and ideologically quite aligned with much of Lemmy’s overall user base. Still, often when I point out misinformation or misconceptions even if they “don’t fit the narrative” of what I broadly believe, I get downvoted without anyone even responding with a counter argument. It’s extra frustrating because I know I probably agree with the opinions of those people downvoting me, it’s just that I believe there’s more nuance to many topics that I would like to discuss, but unfortunately the Lemmy audience acts as if everything is a black & white situation.

I made this same decision for myself explicitly just a few days ago. It’s just bad for my mental health to constantly be arguing with people online, especially with how easily online discussions turn sour in tone. It’s so incredibly rare to have an actual fulfilling discussion where both sides are open to having their minds changed, and thus there’s really no point to it.

It’s because we count the 0… no? 0 and 1, base 2. 0123456789, base 10.

I’ve found that I dream a lot, I just forget quickly, which can feel like not dreaming. For a while I kept a very light dream journal, just writing down whatever small thing I remember, even if it’s just a feeling or something super vague. Don’t worry if you don’t remember anything initially — just being in the mindset was enough to boost my recall. Key is to do it right after waking up, while you’re almost still half asleep. Write on paper with a pen, not your phone — it’s too distracting.

During that period I remembered multiple dreams each night in full, and the memories were incredibly vivid, sometimes almost lucid. It was honestly crazy — some of those dreams had elaborate storylines, often super interesting scenery, and sometimes even almost video game-like “mechanics”. I can only recommend keeping a dream journal… you learn a lot about yourself.

I guess I don’t really expect a company to resist pressure from government agencies on my behalf.

Personally, I expect them to resist to the extent possible by law. The cops need to follow a lot of rules to make legally binding requests for data. I understand that if they do, there’s not much a company can do other than hand out the info, but if there’s a legal way to deny such a request, I expect the company to pursue it.
