Ngl I wasn't sure, it just pops out to me as its own thing, so thanks on the clarification!

There is going to be , or should be , a full on schism in the US church. The parishioners I practice with are more for the Republican Party than for the pope. They basically are waiting for him to die and ignoring doctrine that does not match ‘how it used to be’ Ya know with all of the sexual abuse and bigotry.

How many schisms would that make now? There was the Protestant schism, the Anglican one, Eastern Orthodox one (I think?), and uhh...I'm sure there may be more but at any rate, I guess they certainly are due for another given it's been awhile.

I think in English that term might be media literacy, but as you observe, it's not terribly common, which is frustrating given that it's been needed even prior to the internet's emergence.

Is "media literacy/competency" taught much in Germany, but perhaps not well? Either way, your advice is good even if it wasn't taught or taught well!

And omg, if you need to go with a feminine honorific and you don’t know whether the person is married, go with Ms, not Mrs. or Miss.

I understand what you mean here, except on the difference between Ms and Miss, do you mean this more in terms of writing than speaking? I ask only because I don't know that I've ever been able to hear a particular difference between Ms and Miss when spoken, but that may be more related to my hearing or something that I've not realized.

Edit:
Reading a little further, I see that it comes across as sorta creepy? I'd always parsed it as a more informal address compared to the more formal ma'am for femme folks, so this is interesting, to say the least! I suppose it reads sorta like someone calling an adult man, "young man" or "boy" despite their age, since I don't think there's something similar to miss for masculine folks.

That would come across creepy, unless from older folks and heavily dependent on context.

Absolutely, that's why in my thread I was specifically asking how to go about researching online given search engine commercialization/"optimization" and AI "hallucinations".

In a funny twist, my question may have been better suited to this community, given its specificity, and OP's question may have been better suited to asklemmy with its more relaxed phrasing. In any event, it's been reassuring to see that others are muddling through similar problems lately and trying to rethink how we approach navigating the web.

Also, don’t forget paper exists. For smaller documents, it could be worth printing them, and putting them in a water/fire resistant safe.

Before paper, and somewhere in-between the digital and analogue, maybe go weird with discs or magnetic tape drives (if you're really into your electromagnetic data storage)?

And for the sillier side to this: don't forget to laser etch the most important records in stone. Don't think it's worth the trouble? Wouldn't have some of our ancient records if they weren't literally carved in stone, so...Incidentally, would anyone happen to know of any personal robotic stone engraving tools one could get?

Would be fun to pass in some text and let a machine go to work on some stray stones.

This post “feels” a great deal more relatable, I don’t think AI applies, or at least, I’m not familiar with the issue you are outlining.

As can be seen in some other replies here, and in some other threads, some have taken to using AI in the sense of ChatGPT to aid in finding/researching/summarizing info, hence my mention of it in my thread.

Appreciate the feedback btw, I was in a drier headspace with my questioning a couple days ago, so it does read more detached.

Although this is a slightly older post, I found myself asking the same question. I don't know if my reply here may, in classic forum terms, bump this thread to draw more attention, but I'm replying in hopes that it might (and apologies to OP for a notification).

Have there been any developments regarding this matter, at the very least some clarification on if the current method would be to copy urls into search, and if so, which?

Interesting, was the timing and community chosen for this query better than mine a couple days ago? Regardless, this post provides me more responses to a similar question to sort through, so no complaints here!

How to verify? I just printed the above comment. Printers have an objectivity-gizmo that disallows the printing of anything incorrect, y'know!

I'm a little surprised across the responses so far that there's been no mention of the adoption of or migration to a fediverse platform of some prominent creatives or communities.

It's understandable why they haven't given many of the issues already mentioned thus far, but in terms of others jumping in to federated services, among the least technical stumbling blocks by far is probably the absence of those (or those communities) they'd like to continue following (or participating in) here. Some of that may fall under discoverability/onboarding & content or critical mass mentioned, but it still caught my eye that it wasn't specifically mentioned.

I suppose by its lack of specific mention this mightn't be seen as being as much of an issue?

I wonder how much of this may relate to some folks not really knowing how else to try to interact online...? Maybe even offline as well?

Some seem primed to take any opportunity to argue, and for them I don't think it registers negatively so much as simply how one discusses stuff. A sort of playfighting if you will, worrisome & exhausting if you're not interested, but a joy (up to a point) to those that are.
