when I swapped my laptops, I already had chrome on the newer ones which I'm still using, but when I heard about this ublock origin saga, I started putting all my passwords in protonpass, and customised my Firefox install to my liking, CSS and everything. All ready to switch now, and I'm gonna be thanking my past self profusely for actually choosing to switch instead of vegetating.

Honestly I don't get the hype about the US presidency, like sure, it was kinda shocking at first how Trump won, but after that I accepted it. I'd rather listen to other issues than the same thing over and over again.

I also find it wierd that many of the fellow Australians around me know more about American politics than Australian politics, likely just because our media covers it to no effing end, sure, do one news story, but not a fucken bajillion.

I haven't actually, I'll check it out and maybe add an edit to this comment. I have actually tried two others though, I found then via alternativeto:

  • ayesoul.com
  • morphic.sh

Both of these are pretty great candidates, they both have quality content formats and are somewhat more comfortable to use than perplexity in their unique ways, mainly due to minimalism. A drawback of both are that they are slower to answer but not excruciatingly slow.

I just tried morphic.sh and ayesoul.com and both are solid alternatives I must say, although as I said, I just tried it so I'll see how it goes, I'll probably add an edit to this comment once I get acquainted with both.

I'd just get two toothpicks and make a seesaw to press it, although I pretty much never turn off my computers so I still wouldn't mind too much

It's always the cool fictional AI companions that become irl slop because of big tech, Cortana for instance...

All this time he could've thought up another magnificent way to make money but he chose to stay in the past, longing for something probably already completely degraded, destroyed or recycled, even if it's 500M...
