Nah, i just know a bot when I see one.

Okay Bot.

I have a different theory. Google started scrapping Reddit since its gone public, so I think this is a strategy to get people to use [search query] + reddit in order to find answers, so that Google can scrape that data to train their AI

No, it’s Google changing their algorithm to feed you AI slop.

The first page and a half of Google results now is just AI-generated comparison websites. That’s by design.

I love how on Lemmy Windows is not immediately assumed to be the default OS, lol.

Are we all Linux users?

Yep, lol. Same mindset here. Although I doubt YouTube will ever do a hard cut on piracy. That would lead to a major decline in viewership and wouldn’t look good to shareholders.

No! Don’t take the fall for what Windows forces you to do. Creating a billion GUI menus for users to get through before reaching what they really want to reach was Microsoft’s choice, not yours.

That’s the AI code at work there.

It means I trust China more than the US.

China hasn’t revealed itself to be Cthulhu, unlike the US or Russia. So for me yes, it’s China at every turn unless a local option exists.

Mac is actually nice to use though… My wife has one and it was my first exposure to them.

As a lifelong Windows user, I recall vividly asking myself “why am I not being abused by random pop ups and an overly complicated process to achieve basic things right now?” over and over while working on her machine.

Plus their graphical interface is a pleasure to work with once you get past some of its quirks. If I wasn’t already happily on Linux I would definitely move to Mac.
