• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  apart from ne not having that much money laying around a the moment I’m not a fan of people having to pay for their search engine, as I’m of the opinion that such a fundamental tool to use the web should remain free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve recently switched to SearXNG instances on some devices, definitely seem to be getting better results

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it sometimes seem to, most advanced searching still works, at least on DDG

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my god, I feel this so much… Also, I think that recently got even worse, as I recently found myself switching between DDG/Google and finding both extremely bad for my query

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoever wrote this headline has never encountered a passenger train before in their lives⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I’d be more than happy if they just invented regular trains (even if their version would probably worse in ways not even imaginable as of now), because that would mean more money in train infrastructure.

  So… yeah, you did it! You built something really cool and completely new! And don’t look over there, that’s just… copycats?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube deletes and strikes Linus Tech Tips video for teaching people how to live without Google. Ft. Louis Rossman⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is sooooo incredibly sad!!! I’m currently on an older iPhone and probably getting a Pixel next month; I would really have liked it if there were a bigger variety of phones where I could live truly Google-free, and I would much prefer not having to give Google money to not be reliant on Google…

  This is not real, right? RIGHT?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a good look at Steve-O⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand the downvotes as the comment seems kind of inappropriate, but - as others pointed out - pederasty was really wide spread in Ancient Greece and people thought of boys not in puberty as “good-looking” in a romantic/sexual way, as fucking creepy and weird as we think that is today, so the comment is not entirely wrong: this is the same beauty standard that thought of boys as sexually attractive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a good look at Steve-O⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know how serious this was meant, but I just wanted to inform you that especially the Ancient Greek had another beauty standard thinking men with small penises were superior to larger ones as they thought of people with big ones as barbaric, dull and impulsive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ideal Shrek Zone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t that an implosion and therefore instantaneous?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to be ethical⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The professor can’t be right, he said no judgement, be honest and judged an honest answer not for the frame of mind that lead anon to believe it, but rather for being honest (which he himself asked it to be), so I can’t see any valuable lesson here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reinvents something dark⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, exactly. No one should be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cum⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you might mean “post hoc…” which is a more specific case of “cum hoc…” and sets focus on time/order of events

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motivational⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately doesn’t look too promising on that front and it seems I’m kinda late to the startup/low interest loans and investment party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motivational⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on you, have years left until then.

  I think what’s meant is there isn’t an official ISO to download as it’s not yet that polished for PCs

  This is a rare example of a situation in which an ad blocker would maybe have saved a life…
