That’s could be just exposure to the internet, which turns everyone into a wretched and miserable gremlin.

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.

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?

Repubs have nothing but DARVO to work with when mudslinging.

I approve of that but I don’t know how it is a change? I have already been refusing to consider games because they have Denuvo listed.

Sometimes it is pleasant to defederate from an instance, especially if nothing of value is lost.

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

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.

These music generators squirt out aggressively mediocre melodies with hard cringe lyrics.

I have seen them used for mostly cyber bullying so far. Some unlucky schoolchildren are going to have peers generate an entire CD of how much they are disliked.

This is quite cowardly of him to write. He knows it speaks specifically to the question of newspapers giving endorsements. Him answering it truthfully would either undermine the statement that kicked off these comments or reveal that he doesn’t give a fuck about the Constitution.

"I am neither left nor right wing, I am [simply as far right economically as one can be].

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.

Orion is so powerful and dangerous it can write a memetic virus that mindwipes any reader who sees it. It is beyond science. If you use it within three meters of a lit candle it will summon the devil.
