I added the followingt to ublock origin:
https://github.com/alvi-se/ai-ublock-blacklist

It is helpful when I’m searching for technical stuff. Technical contents are plagued with SEO spam and now slop.

So I make my search using @kagihq , I open in new tabs the 5 or 6 results that look useful. Out of those, one or two are usually blocked, which means I don’t even need to parse its content.

The bad news is that the remaining 4-5 tabs are often not useful either.

Best are StackOverflow posts from the 201* era.

In the end, I realize that reading official documentation and the source code of the tool you want to use is the best way to go. There’s always that 5 minutes dread when it seems helpless, when you think you could simply find a blog post from someone explaining exactly what you need.

But, this era is no more. You need to either blindly follow an hallucinating tool not under you control or build a real knowledge of the tools you use, through sweat.
