  • It is lemmy essentially. By far most communities, users, and a single point of failure in essence. That makes is quite good for getting it technically correct however, the best kind of correct

  • Reddit took many years to build that reputation. And earned creepy badges along the way. I'm not saying the fediverse doesn't need to do it, but let's not be in a rush. We have technical challenges, and a lemmy.world, and a .ml problem before we're ready for the big leagues

    And being niche is fine for now, email was tiny for decades

  • Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

  • For the most part, I agree. But YouTube is full of gold too. Lots of amateurs making content for themselves. And plenty of newspapers are high quality and worth your time to understand the current environment in which we operate. Don't let them be your only source of news though, social media and newspapers are both guilty of creating information bubbles. Expand, be open, don't be tribal.

    Don't use AI. Do your own thinking

  • You search for topics and keywords on search engines. It's a different skill. And from what I see, yields better results. If something is vague also, think quickly first and make it less vague. That goes for life!

    And a tool which regurgitates rubbish in a verbose manner isn't a tool. It's a toy. Toy's can spark your curiosity, but you don't rely on them. Toy's look pretty, and can teach you things. The lesson is that they aren't a replacement for anything but lorem ipsum

  • I prefer reading. Wikipedia is great. Duck duck go still gives pretty good results with the AI off. YouTube is filled with tutorials too. Cook books pre-AI are plentiful. There's these things called newspapers that exist, they aren't like they used to be but there is a choice of which to buy even.

    I've no idea what a chatbot could help me with. And I think anybody who does need some help on things, could go learn about whatever they need in pretty short order if they wanted. And do a better job.

  • At 21 what you know about you can fit in a lunchbox. So talk about what you'd like to know more about instead. Could be some self improvement, could be educational, could be travel, could be musical. You get the idea.

    You were gifted two ears and one mouth too. Ask questions, listen to the answer then delve deeper into that topic with a follow on. Aim for a 2:1 listening to talking, but it isn't a hard rule.

    You also have a passion (or you wouldn't even be on lemmy!). Think about what makes it great and share it if you are asked.

    First dates usually have an activity too, what you doing? Some things might benefit from some research
