While is continuing indexing the Small Web, I noticed that there are some servers that mirror Usenet newsgroups decades back. Leading to hundreds of tousands of links.

I wonder if they are worth indexing or better just excluding those? What is your opinion?

VikingKong,

@louis @poprox Are there some browsers that support all three protocols? I use Amfora, but it's Gemini only.

Came up with an explanation why neural networks dubbed "AI" these days are not AI at all:

You can easily explain to an intelligent being that human's arm normally has five fingers; when you deal with neural networks you absolutely can't.

I have my energy in the daytime. That's when I want to go out, do things and talk to people. And isn't that actually very natural? Humans are not nocturnal animals.

VikingKong,

@thor Well, the claim "humans are not nocturnal animals" is somewhat debatable, some people definitely are, but anyway: our work steals the daytime from us, so if we want to live our lives we have no choice other than to turn into nocturnal animals. Sad but true.

Tried out mu4e and found it more comfortable than neomutt I've been using for years. Being a Vimer, I'm starting to realize that Emacs really rocks.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno At first it was rather interesting, but then it slid into some very old BS about aliens or some preceding technologically advanced civilisation. There's absolutely nothing new here: Erich von Dรคniken, Chariots of Gods, you name it. Surprised this nonsense from 1970s is still a thing.

    I wouldn't be surprised if their goal actually was totally opposite, to turn on those hapless guys who took the bait ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Ukrainian recruting methods, you know.

    Why do they write in English, by the way?

    @Nazareno BS. There was no such a country as Ukraine at the time of Bismarck.

    There was no even such a word "Ukraine" in European lexicon in those days.

    No, man, it hasn't. Very cheap propagandist song.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno
    Wrong, man. I've been living in Moscow all my life. It's quite ridiculous when you claim you know Russia better than me.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno
    You seriously believe it's not staged? Russian propaganda loves shit like this since the Soviet times, absolutely nothing new here.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno
    Why you, Americans, like to name your shitholes after the most famous cities in the world, by the way? Looks quite stupid.

    Wow, eradicating of "enemies of the people" once again. Looks like it's true that history repeats itself twice, the first time as a tragedy, the second as a comedy. These old farts like Gurulev are beyond repair and just ridiculous, the only annoying thing here is that they're touching our Russian heritage like Dostoevsky with their dirty hands. It's a shame for every nation when untermenschen like this one proclaim they belong to it.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno Let them find the 7th one, then we talk ๐Ÿ˜†

    The most powerful country in history, not in the world, but in the history of the world

    WTF does it mean, the most powerful modern country in history is not the most powerful country in the world? Sounds like schizophrenia.

    Don't insult Dostoevsky comparing him with this sordid trash Dugin, and Solzhenitsyn who was quite a weak author. He is NOT in the same category as them.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno Iโ€™m still unable to understand why do people keep calling global surveillance capitalism communism?

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m saying. We should stop calling GloboCap communism. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with leftism too: leftism is about weakening the role of the state in the life of society, GloboCap is something totally opposite. So โ€œNew Modern Leftโ€ is not Left at all.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno In three words: โ€œGott mit unsโ€. Every time a I see something written by Dugin, Iโ€™m just stunned what an idiot he is. Every single time. Philosopher, heh.

    VikingKong,

    @Nazareno I hope, youโ€™re not, youโ€™re just too prone to take sides amidst this BS transpiring during the last years. Iโ€™m not.
