I'm so frustrated with the internet right now. My wife started making Castile soap and I'm trying to find out if its some fu-fu-berry-bullshit or like an actual decent soap. Google is feeding me momfluencers (which range from 'fine but there is no accountability' to blatant grifters) and sites that are simply trying to sell this stuff. I'm going to try again with kagi tonight, but it's still very frustrating that I never know what to trust anymore. The bullshit is coming faster than I'm able to handle it

A good way to make your own soap without artificial fragrances in them. My wife has skin sensitive to fragrances, and most commercial soaps have fragrance (even unscented Yeesh)

CNN and other news organizations in a nutshell

In Canada, we have a state broadcaster, which is nice. The current election frontrunner, according to the polls, is a guy who's made it his entire life's quest to get rid of it. Sigh.

I can't say I would want state run media but then again, I'm not Canadian

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

We have private ones too, to be clear. And the CBC doesn't actually take orders on what to run.

In the US we have NPR (for some reason)

The web back then didn't have AdBlock. Now it does. So not really lol.

What? That is gold, not Mildly Infuriating at all.

I just saw this but with a toilet paper roll under the toilet seat when alone.

Use an adblocker in your browser and an ad-blocking DNS server like Mullvad DNS (it's super easy on Android, just search for Private DNS in the settings and set it to base.dns.mullvad.net), AdGuard DNS (same thing, super easy, just set it to dns.adguard-dns.com) or NextDNS on your phone (and ideally on all your other devices). There's also an app called AdAway, but it takes up the VPN slot so you can't use it together with a VPN.

I only had to play an hour of "Thief" to thank myself I don't have door knobs.

The MSM tries to act like the voice of reason when they're the biggest purveyors of disinfo by a wide margin.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

If you mean via ads like this, I would agree. They could do more to filter out the garbage.

But if you mean in their content, I'm not seeing that, beyond the usual (long history) leaning to one side or another.

But these are two very different things and shouldn't be equated.
