  It depends what you’re using it for as to whether you need to fact check stuff.

  I’m a software developer and if I can’t remember how to do an inner join in SQL then I can easier ask ChatGPT to do it for me and I will know if it is right or not as this is my field of expertise.

  If I’m asking it how to perform open heart surgery on my cat, then sure I’m probably going to want several second opinions as that is not my area of expertise.

  When using a calculator do you use two different calculators to check that the first one isn’t lying?

  Also, you made a massive assumption that the stuff OP was using it for was something that warranted fact checking.

  I can see why you would use it. Why would I want to search Google for inner joins sql when it is going to give me so many false links that don’t give me the info in need in a concise manner.

  Even time wasting searches have just been ruined. Example: Top Minecraft Java seeds 1.20. Will give me pages littered with ads or the awful page 1-10 that you must click through.

  Many websites are literally unusable at this point and I use ad blockers and things like consent-o-matic. But there are still pop up ads, sub to our newsletter, scam ads etc. so much so that I’ll just leave the site and forego learning the new thing I wanted to learn.

  How does it work as I just copied five links from piped and five from YouTube directly into Yattee and got Failed Loading video - Operation stopped every time.

  I can’t really afford to throw away a £1000 device that still have some time left on its contract.

  I guess my next phone can be a pixel with graphene OS.

  Any of those way for iOS?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple AirTag Stalking Has Led to Murder, Amended Class-Action Lawsuit Says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realise that something being widespread doesn’t really matter here.

  If a stalker wants to stalk people then they’re going to find the tech to do it, whether that be an Amazon tracker or an AirPod.

  Do you actually believe that since Apple released AirTags that regular people thought yes I can finally stalk people now.

  I can’t work out if your take is just based on naivety or just bashing Apple because it’s in vogue to do that.

  There are plenty of things that Apple are actually responsible for that you can call them out on. You know like using cheap labour at Foxconn, their greenwashing of their reputation, there stranglehold on their OS with terms of targeted ads, their pricing, etc. AirTags is such a none issue that you take away from the actual shitty stuff they do.

  That’s from someone who owns an iPhone and used to work for them. Give it some thought and let me know your thoughts.

  $70+ for a gallon of milk is insane.

  I’m only joking, I couldn’t help myself. Have a nice day!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft completes $69bn takeover of Call of Duty-maker Activision Blizzard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You do you I guess.

  I will say it’s not technically free, game pass has a fee, ergo you’re paying for it.

  I don’t know enough, nor care enough to weigh in on the implications of this deal.

  I play Minecraft Java and Factorio and really am not interested in any other games as I found these too be be good for what I enjoy and they don’t ask me for more money all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft completes $69bn takeover of Call of Duty-maker Activision Blizzard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably paid for with the money they made not paying $29B in taxes over the last 20 years.

  We ain’t even playing the game with the same rules and they don’t even need to pretend anymore.

  Undoubtedly, there are people dead today who would be alive if hammers didn’t exist or if manufacturers had made them softer.

  Undoubtedly, there are people dead today who would be alive if paracetamol didn’t exist or if chemists had done more.

  Undoubtedly, there are people dead today who would be alive if cars didn’t exist or if the auto industry didn’t lie for years about the dangers of leaded fuel.

  Bing drinking?

  Is that a typo or you can the marching powder (colloquially known as Bing).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never start vaping, says 12-year-old girl with lung damage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bruh she’s fucking 12 years old, not really an age where you’re capable of making logical choices.

  Blame the damn parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I too miss the days of CDs.

  There was even a time when Music Zone (store in the UK) would let you return cds. Well it was free reign to buy them, copy them and then return the original.

  I recall having a printer that could print the album art on them.

  Or even recording from the radio on to tape or mini disc. And even Smash Hits for lyrics.

  You’re right, relationships with music were different than they are now.

  I can’t lie though some things are better now. Take Apple Classical for instance. I can listen to the music entire collection of classical music by opening an app. It’s amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then I’d have to buy a fucking cd player and also listen to the same damn thing every evening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess so as I have found others with no ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exxon, Apple and other corporate giants will have to disclose all their emissions under California's new climate laws – that will have a global impact⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Check this, I worked at Apple on the bar for 3 years and every year we would wear blue for most the year, red for Christmas and get this, green for Earth day.

  So they would ship shirts around the world every year for these. You could use your old ones but they always gave more.

  I brought it up to a manager that the green one is laughable as we are celebrating earth day by shipping green shirts around. I’m pretty sure they stopped it now but it always struck me as insane.

  I also, had some discussions about how well we got treated in the UK but my American counterparts not so much and my Asian counterparts even less, but I always got the we don’t control the Foxconn stuff etc.

  It’s all words really and their bottom line is making money.

  It’s really great when you put on some calming music for sleep that’s 8 hours long and has an ad break every 5 minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the clarification.

  Perhaps my wording was poor but I’m not sure why people don’t realise that not all places the public go are public so in those places the rules are set up by the owner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Again. The theatre owners set the rules.

  The same as your bar example. If you owned a building or business then you can set the rules or make people leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The bar is a public place in that they allow in the public. You have no expectation of privacy there.

  However the bar owner as the owner can explicitly ban photography and that’s fine it’s their bar , but they have to explicitly let people know the rules.

  You ever been to a bar or a club? People are talking photos everywhere lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The key is the phrasing reasonable expectation of privacy.

  A bathroom is such a place where you would reasonably expect privacy.
