I mean, running a search engine is one of the most expensive things you can do, so the fact it’s so cheap is honestly astounding.
Did you actually use many of the features? Like pinning certain websites, blocking or deranking others, setting up shortcuts like !w, etc? Also kagi has provably private searches, so you can make web searches without anyone retaining a log of what you’re doing, which no other search provider can do, much less tries to do.
Yeah the article is good.
The Colorado law is still under consideration and has only gone through the senate. https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/SB26-051
Email your legislators telling them that parents already have access to network block tools, these laws won’t stop the problem anyway (run through a vpn), they’re a free speech nightmare, they’re collecting more data on American citizens when America has data breaches losing data every few days, and Congress literally studied this twenty years ago and decided it wasn’t a good idea then, what makes it a good idea now?
And yet those laws are definitely going to go to court and haven’t been passed yet even, so why the eagerness to comply???
I used it until I switched to kagi. It was fine. Search results are better on Kagi and I’m not giving any information to Microsoft, but planting trees is nice.
I would say that’s not actually the key quote at all, especially since the author states that many times finding a smaller audience is the goal.
One is a for profit ad company controlled by a homophobe. The other is a non-profit foundation that isn’t… there’s a pretty big difference here.
Honestly if you’re that worried about it, I’d just wait and not use anything. Instead of wasting time trying to find a product that probably won’t get better, you can wait and get Fluxer when they make it ready.
Or you could pull stoat and modify the code yourself.
Are you talking about self hosting for fluxer? They explicitly state in their documentation they don’t want people using the current version because they’re doing a rewrite, so you should wait.
So you set up a nice strawman with assembly and fortran there (which would never be used for a web server) instead of suggesting a realistic option like C# or the JVM, both of which have much larger communities of people that actually know what they’re doing.
You’d get just as many contributions in Java or Kotlin and the quality would be higher as well.
The decisions at the start of the project have the most influence on the project, more so than anything ever will later down the line.
Piefed is also written in python. No clue why you would do that when you know that you’re going to be dealing with a massive amount of network traffic, more so than most server infra. Lemmy already struggles with certain amount of traffic and that’s written in rust.
Takes a special kind of person to write federated software and they all seemingly make really really strange decisions when doing so.
I thought it said “nerd space” not “third space” and I was like what’s that??!!
Stop trying to argue to convince them. Ask them “Why?”
Why would the moon landing be faked? What’s to gain from it? (Correct answer, nothing, and everything to be lost when someone leaks).
There’s answers to all of their questions, but I guarantee they can’t give an answer to Why?
I’d never heard that you could do this but it seems very smart. You could always contribute the features you want to Mere, since it’s open source. https://github.com/cfu288/mere-medical
That’s probably more likely to help you than trying to using a free version of a paid product.
Explain how it’s possible. If you’re talking about if you go in and modify the kernel sure. For a person that’s asking on a forum, no, they are looking for a built in way.
I do not think that is possible but if it is, then you’ll want to ask in the discord or discourse forums.
CachyOS, Nobara, Bazzite, there’s a lot of good options.
Good to know!
You should try measuring your searches. I also thought I used a ton of searches, as a software dev I search a lot. When I first switched I was sure I was going to be using several thousand searches a month. I was barely using more than 300. With Google it was at 800-900.
Probably depends on the person.
