After a while using duckduckgo for everything, my work browser was hooked to Google, and when I went to use it the results were shit, and the ads were just overwhelming. Reconfigured it to duckduckgo.

Life is better.

What did you do about email?

If its going away now, it isn’t quite long enough…

The eye is the fucking whole argument for the stupid creationism. The most complex piece of machinery in the human body and shit.

That man thinks he’s god, to create similar functionality.

Has he fucking tried to keep his eyes open in fucking cold weather?

Why not just use humans eyes outside of earth’s atmosphere?!

He’s just so fucking stupid. Rich and stupid. The shit he spends his “hard earned” money would be so much better and efficient if spent controlled by mostly anyone else.

Your link doesn’t work for me. Is this the same?

There’s also strong opinions if open source instances should federate with closed source instances, for reasons of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

In our society people are acknowledged as human beings through consumption, and that need is hammered onto our heads by ads and beauty norms everywhere.

Belonging is a human need. Sometimes some cheap makeup is all it takes.

But also, the rich people are stealing from us in so much worse ways. A rich teen stealing from a rich corporation is kind of karmaeic, and really, even if she was caught, nothing significant would happen, whilst a poor girl doing the same would suffer a lot more.

Ergo, if you see something, no you didn’t.

They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.

A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.
