No way. Titan wouldn't have catering now lol and Polar Prince (the support ship) would have cafeteria slop at least. Nothing to write home about but a couple steps above this hate crime.
This whole clown show is reminiscent of fake rapper beefs, which conveniently take place right before both parties are dropping (usually) mediocre albums.
Weren't these two about to have some bullshit boxing match? And now they're suing each other? I hope this all turns out to be a jump-the-shark moment for both these parasites.
Scientists would end up causing a bigger genocide than a despotic politician could ever dream of. King, CEO, a farmer or a baker, whoever is put in charge should have to suffer the consequences of their failures too instead of being allowed to quietly shuffle off to cushy speaking gigs at the expense of wider society. Bring back decimations and obligatory seppuku for politicians, economists, central bankers and other policy makers I say. Even if it proves worse than the current regime in place, at least it will be an entertaining slide to hell.
Content has been flowing more noticeably around these parts recently. Lot more memes/posts/comments flying around and the number of votes for posts on FP has been increasing.
I've never been a part of an e-community from the get go and it feels so cool watching it transform in front of my eyes.
One of the only apps I couldn't get away from was Swiftkey on Android. I tried to like the open-source offerings for months but they were too rough around the edges. Luckily I discovered NetGuard, which is basically acts as a firewall without root (it establishes a local VPN server to route and filter traffic through). I was able to monitor and block many apps that had no gutdamn business being on the internet. The app is really really well made, the privacy policy seems like a breath of fresh air and I ended up buying the premium version even though the free one was fully functional.
I think this app (and others like it) will be increasingly useful to privacy minded individuals as the free lunch era of the internet begins to conclude.
I'm not shocked whatsoever. Especially as of a few months ago, I only get SEO spam around 80% of the time, unless I stick [r word] in front of my query. It's not even just Google or just [r word] going to shit, I can see the internet of just 10 years ago dying in front of my eyes.
Thank you for bringing up Kagi, I had never heard of it before. An intriguing idea for sure and I am not averse to paying for searches, but as a serial Google-fu practitioner $10/month for 1000 searches (1.5c per search after) seems quite steep to me. Some days I swear that would last me 24 hours at most. I need to start tracking that I think.
I do however applaud the seeming transparency on their website. It may or may not be for me, but if they really plan to operate how they lay out on their website, it truly is a breath of fresh air and I wish them luck.
This would low-key be a great way to have your very own sweet sweet human contributed ML-data pipeline, and a pretty high quality community moderated one at that. Give access to 3rd party devs and lock all competing ML techs out. [r word] is valued at $10 billion (fucking lol) but I bet that gutless scumbag sp*z would fold for less than 10% of that if he has more than two braincells to rub together.
Big part of me hopes Google's myopic corporatised ass never sees the opportunity and we rebuild the mf free internet from here on out.
As others mentioned, Google just straight up ignores most of my quotes and excludes and just shows me what it wants to. Shockingly bad, I remember a time when if I couldn't find something, it was my own failing.
edit: this is with ad-blockers etc btw. Imagine using Google raw, must give you e-AIDS
Thank you for that. Since your comment, I realised I make around the same number of searches as you, so around a 1000 month should be fine. Also realised that not everything has to go through Kagi, I can use Google for super-obvious results, tech issues and such, and Kagi when you need higher-quality results.
Everything is confusing to begin with. I was born not even able to take a shit correctly but here I am controlling my bowels like a big boy (most days).
I'm only one person but I never returned to Reddit after the blackout. They could do a complete u-turn and even make sp*z that little fucker walk the plank but I would still be done with that place.
I am really excited to see the community we build from here on out.
Almost any innovation in human history has been used by the elite to advance their own selves first. That just happens to be the nature of power and wealth, it affords you opportunities that wouldn't be available to plebs.
We would still be sitting around waiting for the wheel to become commonplace if the adoption criteria was to wait for all societal problems to be fixed before its spread through society.
