You can do what the wishful thinking and eternal dreamer like me does - use Karakeep or similar selfhosted app and bookmark it with the hopes of someday reading it. Yes I am probably deluding myself. I may use Hermes to randomly pull articles to review as a sort of compromise.

Or let them just ask and if someone asking a question on the internet bothers you, just move along and ignore it.

New comment by Vaslo in "All major LLMs are lib-left. Even Grok, half the time"

No it doesn’t. Only entertainers and reporters are - not representative of the US pop whatsoever.

No, reality has multiple sides. Outside of a few right wing channels and blogs, most reporters and comedians are leftists - which isn’t representative of the total population whatsoever.
