I do kinda prefer that idea, or rather, I’ve considered something similar from the perspective of positive ratings. I’d like a way to prioritize content by heavily weighting upvotes from people who I’ve liked interacting with.

It’s like attending a concert. An additional similarity is I wouldn’t attend any of the popular bands’ but might even travel a bit to see one of the indies.

I sure as fuck hope we end up with the president who will make those cosplaying MAGAs continue to whine.

I had the same feeling when I saw that, it’s good to have it available. One caveat is I think the instance admins can mess with the database to hide things, but my understanding is a typical mod cannot.

I would be shocked to discover they’re not already doing this.

A lot of the removed content appears on instances’ mod logs, is that not meeting what you want?

No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.

The little ring form factor would be neat if it wasn’t $200 and wasn’t sending data to Amazon.

You can whip up a whole album of aggressively mid music just cyberbullying the shit out of one person.

Why am I buying a machine that small if I need to make space for two separate keyboards? I can just buy a different thing instead.

Looks like that power button wasn’t placed by a circus clown and it has an option for USB PD, yeah this is more like it.

Apparently there is a button on the keyboard, so you get to buy an Apple keyboard (I guess that is bundled?) and don’t get to use your own keyboard with it.

I agree. I wish Donald’s cultists would talk and listen to these family members trying to pull them out. It is a shame that Repubs are writing their family off and instead deciding to believe bigoted delusions.

What’s the remaining distance between a MAGA and a full-on neo-Nazi in your mind? Like as long as they’re voting for the US equivalent of the NSDAP, they’re not officially there yet?

Insane that anyone can be comfortable writing a strawman like “it’s just a different vote,” when they’re voting for “I need generals like Hitler’s, I will be dictator for a day, it is legal to murder political opponents, we will do mass deportations, Haitians are eating cats.”

Yes, it’s our fault that fear-addicted racists have refused to listen to reason for decades and particularly during the last eight years when an obviously unfit clown was committing scandal after scandal. We should be inviting cultists who refuse to listen to us back into our lives and calmly discuss why it is good for the country to be a Christofascist dictatorship.

I am typically in the group saying “systemd is overlarge with too many responsibilities” but this capability makes perfect sense for its job running services. Probably the good column.

I’ve been meaning to try SearXNG, actually, thank you for the reminder. Is there a good instance you’d recommend to check it out? Otherwise I’ll just test it on one of the ones linked from their repo.

You do need an advanced tool to navigate the web now. It takes a lot of effort to filter trash from searches thanks to Google making every result into slop listicle. And even worse now they are AI slop listicles.

Should be felony illegal to use an email without verification.

Oh, yikes, that does seem poorly-designed for the majority of use cases. Thank you for taking the time to write that up and recommend alternatives, I really appreciate understanding it better.
