       @futurebird yeah outside of the “wow that’s 700 years old, truly a part of humanity’s tapestry” sort of “beauty” which I would definitely feel if I was in the same room…Pretty ugly.

       @stux I will add the caveat “willingly.” While quickly googling stuff on my work computer, I always forget that Gemini is going to pop up and I have to scroll past it.

       @stux Personally, my experience with YouTube improved greatly when I turned off watch history. They throw a fit and turn off the home and shorts tabs, so the experience becomes what you directly search for, your subs, and the videos directly linked below those videos. It’s not a perfect solution and it’s not scalable since people need to opt out of watch history, but for people who are looking at least clean up their own experience on the platform, it’s something.

       @taylorlorenz someone with a profit motive is not incentivized to hijack your brain. I engage with things on Mastodon/fediverse in a much more controlled, healthier, self-driven way than I ever did on Twitter, Instagram, etc.
