House buying is the absolute worst. I hate it so much…

You have to decide so much, on so little information and time. Hell you can spend longer researching a cheap kitchen appliance than a house.

Even when it’s all sorted it’s not really… not until you finally have the keys.

The only way I could be stay sane was shifting my way of thinking… eventually you will find your home and before long you’ll be making memories in it and will absolutely love your house. Every house you missed on was really a good thing in the end as it will lead you to that one house, your proper home.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I mean it is important that this kind of stuff is thought about when designing these but it’s going to be a whack-a-mole situation and we shouldn’t be surprised that with targeted prompting you’ll easily gaps that generated stuff like this.

Making articles out of each controversial or immoral prompt isn’t helpful at all. It’s just spam.

I’ve only had a little bit of retail experience from my teenage days and even with that this just brings back such flash backs. People getting mad at a kid just because the store didn’t have the DVD they wanted or because they’ve been asked to park up at the drive through and wait 5 min for their food.

Personally I think any business owner, especially a home delivery service like pizza, should be firm and quickly blacklist customers who act like this. Delivery drivers put themselves at risk, they are lone workers going to random people’s home. It should be treated seriously.

World would be a lot better if people who treat service workers poorly quickly found that they could no longer get service at all.

exactly what I was thinking. That big starting number is misleading at best.

with chicken meat since it has a smaller impact on the environment.

I had assumed that a plant-based burger would be better for the environment than a meat based burger (including chicken) - or am I entirely wrong here? (I guess there is complexity depending on the type of "plant-based" burger and the type of meat and where it was sourced from etc)

I do eat meat (I do acknowledge that this is an ethical and moral failing) but with the plant-based alternatives being so good I have changed my eating habits a lot.

Plant Based is now what I tend to buy as my first choice in the vast majority of cases and I don't feel that I've lost anything in doing so. This is far from a properly consistent moral choice but it has helped me dramatically lower how much animal products I buy.

I think a separate community would only be needed if it got too noisy here. At the moment I don’t think there is enough activity to warrant an entirely separate community.

I think for now people should be able to post their questions here for a discussion. If anything that would help more active engagement in this community.

(Just my thoughts on it)

Google is one of the worst offenders, with constant effort to force you to login, sponsored links etc but it isn’t unique to them.

AI (or human) generated rubbish, optimised for SEO is making it harder and harder to find what you actually want. This isn’t entirely new, there has always been a battle but it does seem like now with the AI push they are winning and we (the users/consumers) are losing.

Thank you!

Also like that the iOS app privacy section says:

Data Not Collected The developer does not collect any data from this app

I’ve used it to create a little dashboard page for my home sever - it made a page that displays the uptime, network status, the remaining disc space, links to all my hosted services (including indicators showing if they are online or offline) automatically grabbing the favicon for the links etc

Everything nicely styled and formatted in a dark theme with status colours etc

It did absolutely everything, picked the language added step by step instructions of setting it up even suggestions on styling options.

There is never a reason or excuse to hit a child. It’s disgusting, abusive and ultimately counter productive. Only showing that it’s okay to use violence to get your way and it’s okay to hurt people who you hold power over.

Edit: sorry for all my deleted comments, accidentally posted a bunch of duplicates!

Absolutely awful, so much unnecessary suffering will be caused by this.
