Nova Launcher, KWGT widgets, gold leaf icon pack

I change my wallpaper like once a week but this is what I have on now

Kind of a typical response, but my android’s custom os. I think the OnePlus 8t is fantastic, BUT specifically thinking of the custom rom (Nameless13) I installed on it to replace OOS

I’m not that old, but I still came from flip phones and nokias, so the amount of evolution is incredible

I like this custom rom so much because as a tech savvy user, I can have it do whatever I want. It has an insane amount of QOL features, fantastic support team, better battery life, better responsiveness and energy usage, frequent and reliable updates, devs pushing out good features that users actually want, no bloatware ads or BS, a ridiculous amount of options and customization, and full control. The only single drawback was the stress and effort of learning how to install a custom rom, but it felt extremely rewarding and as someone in IT, it’s something good to learn. Plus having super nice and helpful support team and users both, made it way easier

I completely agree. It makes sense that AI is not good at determining truth vs fiction. I think it’s more important for us as users to just search for information on our own, then determine the “end answer” with our own judgement after reviewing different sources and experiences (taking each individual answer with a grain of salt)

That’s why, I personally think AI search engine won’t be the best all-rounder for all types of information that’s not niche, deep searching which is IMO better found on forum-like platforms where people (enthusiasts) share sources, their experiences, what worked, what didn’t work, and why. For AI, maybe just simple bland information, like an excel formula, or how to hot wire a car, is better

Interesting, I think I agree with you on this. It could be better than traditional searching, but only if it is able to pull accurate organic content with sources. I think only then would it be more accurate and efficient than looking through forum-like platforms.

Discussions and comments are super important too so I guess it would have to pull sources that include that, which I guess could work? That’s super important for probably everything, because you might see comments that say "add 1/4 c flour instead of 1/3 and it was perfect" or "I used this and it caused a spark in my usb port, here's what I did and my setup, take caution" or "if you use a 3 monitor setup though, be careful using 2 hdmi and 1 dp, for these reasons, 3 dp is better for these reasons" or "if you want a more efficient way to farm this item, talk to this npc and do this quest instead" etc (I just made those up for examples) - but the point is that people comment on posts with tweaks, improvements, warnings, positive feedback, negative feedback, etc. That’s super valuable for making a final decision on your own about the problem, which is partially why I don’t think AI will ever be the most successful way to find information, because I don’t know if it can achieve this more efficiently than forum-like platforms

Thanks for the reply, that actually blows since there’s a few super populated subs over there that I’m part of. I suppose I’ll leave those and try to find a different one in an instance that’s federated with lemmy.world

I didn’t know that beehaw recently defederated from lemmy.world. Can you ELI5 what this means for us?

I just migrated to lemmy.world , and I had quite a few beehaw community subscriptions. How does it affect my interaction?
