A group of German researchers have confirmed what weโve all observed, Google Search has gotten worse over time and is now filled with SEO spam.
Using ChatGPT to get answers instead of wading through spam links in Google reminds me of Google vs AltaVista over twenty years ago.

This artist should have so many more fans than he does. His work is exquisite! If he toured Europe, his music would go off! We were so close to collaborating on one of my musicals in order to take it to Helsinki Midsummer Festival, And then the lockdowns happened. He writes protest songs about the environment and the need for peace. So, radios are shy of carrying him in his own country. But that's the stuff I love!

Fuck ๐ off ๐ "stale" ๐ bots.
If you are a developer that uses these to automatically close issues that have been valid for months and conveniently rely on a response from ONE person in an ocean of other responses, please reconsider your life choices. If there were no other responses? Fine. That's on the person to reply. But the bot should immediately eject itself from the conversation the moment someone else chimes in. Closing issues like this seriously hurts discoverability for developers and users alike.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐ง๐ฎ • • •Gamers are probably the easiest to convince.
They already buy their console games in app stores. In two years when the store shuts down because the new gen is out, the game is gone.
They have long accepted online only single player games. When the server shuts down the game is gone.
And if they play 99 indie games and once in a while a single big name game, even though they spend more time fixing and complaining about Windows than they do playing, they will never install Linux because that one game they rarely play only runs on Windows.
