im sorry i broke the code

An Apple pie?

It is kind of what happened too tbf

Cause the free alternatives are trash, so… it’s not like “free is better” is always true

I did lol, why the hell would I recommend it otherwise?

It’s a search engine, so to be better than the others it’s obvious it would have to return better results than the usual ad-based crap — and it does. There is a free trial and you can check out if it’s worth it for you btw

It has quite a lot of QoL features for searches, but their main one — searching — is worth the cost; if you do a search once in a blue moon or append “Reddit” at the end of a query, it’s not imo since any search engine is “good enough” for that. If you instead actually do a search without having a specific website in mind, it’s good. You can also filter out the quora and other shitty websites results, which is nice

Kagi is better

What is jangelan?

This is true when you are in a conflict already and you have something to gain by doing so.

Invading russia is the mother of terrible ideas, not because nukes but it would drag the world into a pointless, even dumber war

What’s that Lemmy theme?

What do you mean? Wages are terrible and services too but it costs as much as Belgium and France, with a fraction of the salary. People often blame high taxes but in Belgium they are much higher and the country is as big as Sicily or Sardinia

Working in Italy is painful: you have to work for 9 hours a day since break is not counted in a workday, most companies are so small you have virtually no benefits and the family-like governance is terrible, and for a lot of companies you are expected to do overtime. If you work in restoration it’s even worse.

Italy is good/decent only for tourists and elders, but since most of the costs for younger people are paid by their parents it seems better than it actually is.

To add a fun fact: a friend of mine is very proud to earn 1.4k a month with lots of straordinaries and the liquidation pay (no thirtieth month)

I’m surprised life satisfaction is so high in Italy tbf

yet

I thought the same exact thing lol

Tldr: it is necessary because social media amplified, or created, big social issues that are still unaddressed; it will pointless because it doesn’t fix the problem, only the symptom

Internet is a wild place, more so for teenagers which can get bullied very easily, develop self esteem issues (Instagram anyone) and whatnot.

For adults it is a wild place too, but adults generally are less gullible than teenagers.

In the end though banning a smartphone doesn’t address the problem but its consequences: smartphones for teenagers wouldn’t be a problem if social media weren’t a Pandora’s box of echo chambers, grooming and deception. This isn’t a teenager exclusive though, everyone suffers from it… and if you think it’s not that big of a deal, look at all the elections outside the US that have been dominated by a shitty, easy, rhetoric spread mainly through social media; for Instagram there is no justification, open it and you will see people whose body and face are so perfect that Da Vinci’s Gioconda looks like trash

You need more minerals

And when he didn’t have bread to spare, he painted rocks brown!

they called it “special operation”

yes, I was. Also yes, it was a flagship gpu - the 6900 XT. KDE never worked for me, neither with the 1080ti nor the 6900xt… maybe it’s the AMD cpus, idk. Gnome has always been a stable experience though

it is mine though
