sazey, to til in TIL there was a briefly popular social movement in the early 1930s called the "Technocracy Movement." Technocrats proposed replacing politicians and businessmen with scientists and engineers who ha...

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.

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.

sazey, to world in Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app

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.

sazey, to comicstrips in How was video game DLC born?

I'm with you, the Corpos will carry on acting like this while the gamers are stuffing their pockets with cash.

sazey, to pics in Eye

You people are everywhere.

sazey, to kbinMeta in Kbin.social passes 50K users

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.

sazey, to piracy in It’s true

I used to prefer 1080p rips even when I had Netflix.

sazey, to piracy in GitHub - pluja/awesome-privacy: Awesome Privacy - A curated list of services and alternatives that respect your privacy because PRIVACY MATTERS.

Great list! I am saving it for sure.

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.

sazey, to linux in Arch Linux vs. Manjaro Linux (meme)

Haha and fuck you! Manjaro gives me sane defaults is my excuse.

sazey, to technology in Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts

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.

sazey, to RedditMigration in It's over - Sync for Reddit is offline

One of the saddest little notifications I have seen in a while.

sazey, to piracy in People are bashing Lemmy in this thread. Did you also find Lemmy confusing at first?

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).

sazey, to technology in Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts

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

sazey, (edited ) to technology in Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts

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.

sazey, to technology in Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts

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.
