It really is great, haunting, nostalgic music that I associate with a formative time in my childhood. Beyond the game it’s also fantastic deep focus & coding soundtrack.

If you haven’t heard it, listen to Sweden or Aria Math.

> This is indeed a problem, but it's a different problem from just making shit up, which is an AI specialty

It's a bigger problem than AI errors imo, there are so many Wikipedia articles that are heavily biased. A.I makes up silly nonsense maybe once in 200 queries, not 20% of the time. Also, people perhaps are more careful and skeptical with A.I results but take Wikipedia as a source of truth.

>Ratings compression Star ratings on major platforms increasingly cluster between 4.3 and 4.9, leaving buyers little room to distinguish products.

Last year I was skimming through IKEA furniture and majority of reviews are 4 or 5 stars. And that makes me think that people who don't like IKEA products are either so pissed that they do not want leave 1 star review or IKEA removes bad reviews.

I’ve definitely seen IKEA products with bad reviews.

A bit of a sidenote but: what is a gmail alternative that really works? For instance, spam handling is worse in pretty much any alternative I've tried.

I'm interested in EU-based products first. But they need to handle spam well!

If privacy is your primary concern I would 100% trust Cloudflare or Google over an ISP in the US

Read their TOS.
Tijdreiziger · a month ago
If it’s in the ToS, then it’s not true that “[they] weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data”.

They weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data as well. That didn't stop them.

Realistically, either you ignore the privacy concerns and set up routing to multiple providers preferring the fastest, or you go all-in on privacy and route DNS over Tor over bridge.

Although, perhaps, having an external VPS with a dns proxy could be a good middle ground?

Tijdreiziger · a month ago
Middle ground is ISP DNS, right?

As a punishment: Compile and install ISC BIND from source and configure it 8)

Many home routers can resolve starting from root or if you must then: 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 will get you started. You might consider 9.9.9.9 and there are quite a few others.

I never, ever, ever, recommend using ISP provided DNS unless you know how they are configured. The anycast jobbies at least publish a policy of some sort.

Tijdreiziger · a month ago
Which home routers can resolve recursively instead of needing upstream DNS? I’ve never seen this across many brands of home routers.

Your ISP publishes T&Cs and a privacy policy too.

Furthermore, your ISP’s resolver is probably in your ISP’s network, so your queries don’t have to go out through peering/transit.
