Anecdotally it seems like a lot of people go to whatever LLM they have access to and ask it what to do. Surely the next frontier of advertising products is directly injecting recommendations into the response from the LLM. Or at least make the answer incorporate products and services somehow, similar to how influencers do paid content in a seamless way alongside their main content.

There really doesn't seem to be much here that's worthwhile? I'd love it if someone made a better macOS settings app, the current one feels like it's made to be used on an ipad or touchscreen device.

Came here to say the same thing

Fun website. How did you build it?

Glypha! I used to play that as a kid, I'm excited to check it out again.

Oh wow, I never heard of this before! A quick experiment searching for a few things and I'm impressed.

I think we are in a golden age of games personally. You can argue prices of new games have gone up, or have got worse, or whatever. And that may be true, but there are many many thousands of great games released over the last few decades that are great. Board games don't necessarily get better with new releases, the technology largely remains the same.

Not great

I always thought the US was about freedom of choice but this appears to be against freedoms in general. The people voting for this must love being told what to do?

I have to agree. Lately (maybe year or so) it seems that researching anything that isn't clearly linked to some kind of product or service is difficult on Google.

It occurs to me that it could partly be that the "free and open" internet seems to be dying. For example, Discord or Slack are often used to replace message boards but that means they are no longer indexed and searchable. There are many examples like this right?

The old free hosted sites are dying off or provide no monetary value to Google. So even if they still exist, why bother indexing them.

This has nothing to back it up of course, just musings.

I already have these issues on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Presumably it's the OS rather than the hardware but who knows

Except Apple keeps their hardware locked in the Apple ecosystem, but anyhow can buy AMD or Intel

I had access to computers when I was young, but mostly sans gaming. In fact, once I wiped a work computer of my dad's somehow. Eventually I got SimCity 2000 on our old Mac and that was incredible. These old computers were tools to experiment and have fun with, rather than the entertainment devices we have today.

Unfortunately they won't even turn on so this won't work.
