It’s honestly ridiculous too. Imagine saying that your whole business model is shooting people, and if you’re not allowed to shoot people then it’ll crash. So when accused of killing people, you go “nu uh” and hide the weapons you did it with, and the legal system is okay with that.
It’s all so stupid.
BARQ is kind of rubbish in terms of messaging and whatnot. I feel like I often see funny nosql API errors.
If the guy is already in a dedicated polycule, it makes sense that his attention will be divided and plans might fall through in case other things crop up. Met a few people in polycules, and that kind of thing can get tricky to navigate even inside of it unless all parts are living together more or less.
This'll be a bit cliche but it bears saying; I've seen you around a bunch, and from what very little I know, you strike me as a very affable person. If this doesn't end up working for you, there will be others out there. Be patient with yourself, and treat yourself with kindness. 💖
Aye, it could just as easily be plant based.
Do people just do it because they don't feel like they fit in with younger furrys
This would be my guess. I spend a decent amount of time in Resonite, and while it can certainly be fun to pass time and work together with people regardless of their age, it is tougher to develop meaningful connections with someone that’s still struggling with school and parents.
Granted I don’t personally think I’d look for groups of people in their 50s and upwards to remedy that.
Through the years I've bounced between different engines. I gave Bing a decent go some years back, mostly because I was interested in gauging the performance and wanted to just pit something against Google. After that I've swapped between Qwant and Startpage a bunch. I'm a big fan of Startpage's "Anonymous view" function.
Since then I've landed on Kagi, which I've used for almost a year now. It's the first search engine I've used that you can make work for you. I use the lens feature to focus on specific tasks, and de-prioritise pages that annoy me, sometimes outright omitting results from sites I find useless or unserious. For example when I'm doing web stuff and need to reference the MDN, I don't really care for w3schools polluting my results.
I'm a big fan of using my own agency and making my own decisions, and the recent trend in making LLMs think for us is something I find rather worrying, it allows for a much subtler manipulation than what Google does with its rankings and sponsor inserts.
Perplexity openly talking about wanting to buy Chrome and harvesting basically all the private data is also terrifying, thus I wouldn't touch that service with a stick. That said, I appreciate their candour, somehow being open about being evil is a lot more palatable to me than all these companies pretending to be good.
There are search engines that do this better. There’s a world out there beyond Google.
Kein Fisch. Nur Reis.
All the more reason for us all to push this. I’ve been slowly migrating all my stuff to being self-hosted. There are quirks to iron out but also great benefits.
What exactly is the “threadiverse?”
Greece has no nuclear power?
At my old workplace we ended up getting like a thousand toilet seats delivered to us. We were a web publishing firm.
The rest of us will be stuck with those consequences also. When idiots are at work, third party always suffers.
