    It’s ruining everything online. I can’t trust anything I find. I can’t find anything naturally because there is so much so chaife.

    I’m starting to make an effort to go analogue. Lucky I kept my recipe books. I’m even tempted to go print some of my insta craft boards and stick em in a big journal. Stock up on books and dvds and lose myself for hours.

    The more they enshitify the more backwards I go. They got my usage based on convenience. I am getting better at assessing what is genuinely convenient and healthy for my lifestyle.

      Recipes online have been going to hell for a long time, due to SEO. AI is like the cherry on the cake.

      • avoid English language content when possible/reasonable to do so.
      • focus mostly on a few sites I know to not be enshittified to hell.
      • if I try the recipe and I like it, I store it in a simple .txt file, available across all devices in my household through the LAN.

      Plus going analogue more, like you are doing. I’ve seen myself exchanging recipes with neighbours and relatives way more often.

        Think it’s time for me to print my favs. I can use them better in the kitchen that way

      Protip for recipes in particular - add a date constraint on your duckduckgo/Google search. I’ve found that searching for anything before 2022 seems relatively AI free (unless the author has edited recently).

      And most recipes don’t really evolve over the past three years, so there’s quite a bit to discover. If you find a good one, absolutely grab that shit offline/archive.is it so that it won’t disappear.
