Traditional search is mutually beneficial... to search providers and publishers. At expense of the users. LLM search is becoming popular because it lets users, for however short time this will last, escape the fruits of the "mutually beneficial arrangement".

If anything, that arrangement of publishers and providers became an actual parasite on society at large these days. Publishers, in particular, will keep whining about being cut off; I have zero sympathy - people reach for LLMs precisely because publishers have been publishing trash and poison, entirely intentionally, optimizing for the parasitic business model, and it got so bad that the major use of LLMs is wading through that sea of bullshit, so that we don't have to.

The ad-driven business model of publishing has been a disaster for a society, and deserves to be burned down completely.

@kuketzblog Danke. Ich war schon eine ganze Weile auf der Suche nach einer Alternative für Chrome/Firefox und einem VPN um Geoblocks zu umgehen. #Mullvad hat beides und ein kurzer Blick auf die #HN Kommentare [1] hat mich dann endgültig überzeugt. Der Service kostet $5 und ist damit fair.

@mos_8502 I very much welcome a revival of the #Usenet!

This is my preferred fall-back, when #reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and others finally aren't useable any more.

Maybe I'll even think of switching my decade-old (but very fine) #slrn setup to Gnus or another #Emacs-based workflow if I can find out how to sync my state across multiple machines... 🤔
