I haven’t nuked my discord yet (I’m procrastinating because I know the process of deleting your messages is ass.) and I’m on discord for program that I’ve used for years. A few days ago I noticed someone using omarchy, I pointed out that it’s problematic, and I got told that it doesn’t matter what views the dev has since it’s FOSS and the dev doesn’t force their views into the software. They mentioned that treating usage of anything as moral endorsement just makes available options worse for no real gain.

So, yeah…

Right after TempleOS.

Today I finished setting up local searxng on NixOS. I made it so that when the searxng module is enabled the searxng will get added to firefox as custom and default search engine which is pretty neat.

E: Otherwise if the module is disabled then ddg is used as a fallback.

I’ve encountered the steam page in the queue and to me it looked like a spiritual successor to tankie online (I think that was the title) (E: it was ‘Tanki Online’) which I liked to play many years back. I hope they captured the fun but without the shitty elements.

What I like about the fediverse that no matter how deranged anyone here is it’s all kinda cute compared to other social media. Regardless of whether it’s another user, a moderator, an admin, or even a platform developer, the power dynamics are fundamentally impossible to get anywhere close to the level of imbalance as the centralised social media have. Not to mention that most of fedi platforms and tools around them like third party clients are open source which reinforces things even further.

Another cool thing is that one could just start working on a new platform, hook into existing userbase, and focus on innovating instead of trying to get users onto it to justify the effort.

It was cool before it hit mainstream. If you never knew or followed the space before that then it may seem like it always sucked.

Not what they are arguing. :|

Whaaaaat?! Thanks for the info. Even more reason to finally give a shot at setting up searxng which I assume won’t have a limit like that.

DDG, kagi, searxng, and likely many other engines allow you to hide the domain from results. I use DDG and there you have the ‘3 dots’ button to the right where you can block the site for good.

I just remembered that there are torrents with crawled text from reddit. I wonder if there’s a way to browse local data like that like you would with a search engine? Reddit’s value is in old content anyway. I never tried it myself but there are tools to browse wikipedia locally like that iirc.

Stuff like this doesn’t mess with websites that much as it’s all rectangles anyway. And as the comment above said you get to alternate between the sizes/proportions at will so this becomes a non issue. Use smaller screen for common stuff and then the bigger one for movies, games, comics, ebooks, displaying recipes in big text to see from far away, and whatever else you want. People could simply carry around a tabled at all times but there’s the extra convenience of it fitting in your pocket and being the same device as you wouldn’t have to sync data between them. This is something similar to an argument for cameras in phones, you always have it with you ready when a need comes up and a camera you don’t have with you when you need it is useless.
