I've been using DDG for a few years, but I don't like that it's not subject to any strong privacy regulations like GDPR I've looked at startpage but I hate how it doesn't let you see your search history in your browser history. Qwant forces you to diable your adblocker. Does anyone know of any good alternative?

Didn't realize that was unofficial lol

The NixOS wiki's been around for a few years at least, it just doesn't get as much traffic from search engines since NixOS isn't super popular.

Some perceptural hash of the actual ads could work to. You could run into legal trouble sending the ads themselves or the hosts speaking.

What do you think the term "grave error" comes from?

I wouldn't recommend it. The Git documentation itself doesn't recommend rebase for more than moving a few unpushed commits to the front of a branch you are updating. Using it by default instead of merge requires you to use --force-push as part of your workflow which can lead to confusing situations when multiple developers end up commiting to the same branch, and at worst can lead to catastrophic data loss. The only benefit is a cleaner history graph, which is rarely used anyway, and you can always make the history graph easier to read with a gui without incuring any of the problems of rebase.

I wonder if the Gnome team's cavalier aditude towards agreed upon standards is related to Redhat's influence 🤔 It's totally possible the devs are just high on their own fumes due to being the default for so long.

Back in the Gnome 2 days this wasn't as much the case. Plus KDE was kind of a mess back then so the main choices were Gnome or XFCE which had fewer features. When Gnome 3 came around the devs switched hard to a much more opinionated approach, leading to Gnome 2 forks like Cinnamon since KDE was still very underpolished. It's a bit regrettable that all that effort was poured into Gnome forks instead of improving KDE especially considering how great it is now.

My theory is that Google wants to move towards vector symbolic representations for pages in search rather than page caching. It would make index storage and retrival orders of magnitude cheaper for them if they can design a scheme that works well.

Under this explanation, the AGPL wouldnt qualify as an open source license, since you must distribute the source if you provide a modified version as a network service.

Or league, or WOW, or BF4, BF1, overwatch, fortnite, genshin...

Looking at it this is definitely the case, its no better than fptp because you're incentivized to give 5 stars to all candidates you can tolerate, and none to others.

VAT is just a shitty tax mechanisim, ends up being regressive (people with less money pay a larger portion of income), and really shouldnt be used. Land value tax + carbon tax is much better, and has nice side benefits like encouraging housing development and walkability.

Thats because in government products many unsafe languages shittier than C(++) are used, like Ada, Fortran, and Cobol. It wouldn't surprise me if most of the code running on products for government use werent written in C or C++

Nothing really, the JVM has a pretty troubled history that would really make me hesitate to call it "safe". It was originally built before anyone gave much thought to security and that fact plauges it to the present day.

Pretty crazy to reccomend Java as a secure alternative.

The enshitification discourse on lemmy is fucking nuts. Service goes from you getting a gaming PC completely free, no strings attached except your play session is limited to hour, to the same thing but you see preroll ads while you queue. Any person with more than two braincells could tell it was meant to be a trial for the paid service, but of course people on here are gonna cry because they don't get free toys anymore.

Fzf has some scripts packaged for most shells that'll replace ctrl-r reverse history search with this behavior

No voice chatrooms so it's not similar. The most similar open source solution I've seen is Mumble

You can also hang on to silica gel packs that come in various packaging, they do the same thing as the rice but are more effective and wont clog up your device
