They aren't all bad though yet all of them generally get a bad rap because the internet accepts conspiracy theories as gospel. I've worked the tech industry for three decades now and will argue the middle management make up most of the psychopathic population per capita.

I've been using Zoho for over a decade now for nearly all my transactions. Gmail comes in handy for account related things. For web subscriptions that matter zero to me if hacked I use proton.

doesn't that cost money though?

There are a couple mods I like to hate-watch,

Just let it go, my friend. You will be so much happier.

Unless you looking to access Reddit's porn what other reason could you possibly have to use it?

Joined Lemmy about a month ago after 17 years of using Reddit. Account was deleted. A once very great haven for open discussion has turned into one of censorship inundated with bots to push propaganda. The writing was on the wall in 2015 and while its demise started slowly the rate enshitification grew.

What I don't understand is given it's inundated with bots posting/commenting to direct the narrative, what is the point of creating more obstacles for the common person to be duped. You'd think they'd want to keep it easy access to spread their "message".

I have found the "both sides" finger-pointing is just as harmful. Many times it's used to squash or impede honest discussion. It's an online tactic to shut down constructive criticism of one's own political party. Neither the Democratic Party or Republican Party are infallible. Both do have faults and some of those faults intersect in a Venn diagram. With that said, as an Independent of about three decades MAGA has essentially turned me into a full-blown Democratic voter.

Had you read the article... 😶

Looks like you have a misunderstanding of what a mathematical proof is. I have but a mere bachelor's in applied mathematics and employed as a statistical engineer for a couple decades now. If a proof is successful at showing a mathematical statement is true, it's a done deal. It doesn't work like science which relies on mathematical models to explain its anecdotes.

There are massive libraries or repositories of scientific/mathematical published research throughout higher education institutions and across various technological industries. The required training data exists.
