@KuteboiCoder @magicalthinking @stsmith01 about body doubles? no, just a million things proving he's a dude as if it even matters anymore

@magicalthinking @KuteboiCoder @stsmith01 Close, but Mr. Body Double is missing the buck teeth.

@magicalthinking @KuteboiCoder @stsmith01 Oh, and while we're talking about Fetterman...
And Melinda Gates as a bonus.

...But seeing as Brave search thinks my traffic is from a bot and the captcha isn't working, I don't have many options. Even Brave had been manipulated into having trash results over time. Just tried StartPage and it was basically unusable with all the propaganda.

@ins0mniak I may have to try it. I looked into Yacy a while back and was not impressed (owing not a small amount to it being written in Java), but it may be time to give it another try. Maybe I can get it to index on some semi-reasonable news feeds, if any even exist anymore.
I remember the old days when having a URL to go to was an exciting thing - "This company has a website, let's fire up the modem and check it out!" And then the early days of search with Webcrawler and Ask Jeeves and the 30+ other competitors. Then Google was amazing when it first came out, nearly instantly destroying every other search competitor.
We never knew where it would end back then. I never imagined having more knowledge personally available to humankind than ever before but having it gated by a propaganda/censorship wall that had once been merely a search engine to help me find whatever it is I was looking for.
Maybe there's hope for the future, but there will need to be some major shifts first.

The whole "you need an account to pay to search but we don't track you we SUPER DUPER promise" concept always seemed suspicious to me. Every business in the world is driven by getting as much private information about users as they possibly can and selling it to the highest bidder. It's just too much of a temptation to resist.

Does anyone still use Kagi or was that just a viral marketing attempt a while back when everyone here was talking about it?

@Morghur @Hoss @nozaki it's why I don't make fun of boomers, at least not in a hateful way

@MeBigbrain @nozaki @Morghur @Hoss There are a lot of awful ones (that I know personally) but I also know a lot of boomers who are genuinely good, generous people. I don't think retardation is a generational thing; every generation gets its own brainwashing, and some fall to it while others resist it.

@Hoss @nozaki can't wait until millennials are in their 60s and the kids are screaming about how millennials are the reason the world is so bad

@ins0mniak someone who can't figure out how to open an epub probably won't be able to absorb the knowledge contained within anyway

@PNS At some point there's enough fire in the area that the water coming out would just vaporize and be useless, if there's any water coming out at all. But maybe it makes people feel better, and there's a lot to be said for that.

@sun @hj This is the sort of thing that got me out of web development. I had no problem learning a thing as long as that thing would still be around in a couple years. Now I feel like anything I learn is a waste since it's just going to be replaced by some new, even gayer thing shortly afterward anyway.

@KiKi88 very cool concept but those views aren't all that amazing

@lethn @KiKi88 @The_Almighty_Kek Notice how in the video he says the views are amazing but doesn't actually show them at all, instead focusing on the (again, very cool) rotating cabin instead. I think the soytuber would agree the views are lackluster.

@PunishedD @Bunsen @Eiswald @dictatordave As long as Amazon still exists and there are still some people who can buy from there, America still has credibility. Plus we haven't quite dedicated 100% of our GDP toward interest payments yet (we're getting there). Once that happens and the last few money shuffling tricks stop working, then the credibility will be gone.
Trump did a pretty good job of spending lots of money. I think Biden may have beaten him, not really sure, don't really care, but Trump round 2 is going to be all about the money printer going brrrr.
There are still a lot of people (entire nations) that give the US credibility because they don't have any other viable options. The BRICS talk may or may not go anywhere, but even if it does, it's a massive shift and the people who have been "all in" on the US their entire lives aren't going to be able to pivot so quickly.
