  • The extreme right wing in the US, has always had things they claim to revere, but don't actually believe in.

    • Free Speech
    • Free Markets
    • Democracy
    • The Constitution

    Probably more

  • The Precise Location Permission description, specifically states that's what they're doing.

  • You can manually setup any site to be your default search in Firefox.

  • That's family income. What your parents earn counts too.

  • Humans!

  • For the best results, keep both the soda and empty drinking glass in the refrigerator.

    Then start with an empty glass tipped 15-20deg toward open can or bottle of soda.
    Pour slowly onto upper inner edge of tipped glass. Stop with enough room in the glass for additional ice volume.
    Place each cube into the surface of poured soda before releasing it.

    If you're insisting on ice first, use the other techniques but with a preloaded glass instead of empty.

  • And if I identity as an extraterrestrial autonomous exploration and research unit, with a general mission directive of learning about humanity first hand?

  • I still don't really understand why this one got so much hate. I enjoyed it more than most of the recent MCU movies.

  • That's what the local feed is for.
    I'm constantly surprised by people who don't seem to understand what ALL means.

  • I think your questions are more complicated than you realize.

    Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies?

    If you separate the form of government from the governing, yes autocracy is a superior form of government. A dictator can instantly marshal resources to face any threat, or completely shift an entire nation, if a direction becomes clearly wrong. The reason they don't work, is because the leader is always human. Humans make shit leaders, almost always. So distribution of power across a large number of people mitigates the risks of putting it all in one.

    Are all democracies are doomed to fail?

    Yes. Obviously. Everything eventually fails. The Sun will fail and take the earth with it.

    Is the future of humanity, autocracy? For the rest of humanity's existence?

    No. Obviously. Everything eventually fails. The Sun will fail and take the earth with it. I would hope humanity (or whatever species humanity evolves to) lives past that.

  • They aren't mutually exclusive options.
    Nothing is stopping some big corp from spinning up their own Fediverse service.
    See Gmail as an example.

  • I just call it a "Pull Cart".
    Or "Cart" for short.

  • It's a pattern.
    I know it seems strange from the anti-cancel-culture contingent of society, but it's a real thing.

  • I didn't read it, but I'm guessing the answer is: Don't.
    It sounds like a real bad idea.

  • You're speculating that Kagi is actually astroturfing on Lemmy. That's why I asked for an account you believe to be doing it on Kagi's behalf.

  • So yah, the social media manager or marketing agency is getting paid. People organically posting because they genuinely like the service, aren't. The former would be advertising. The later not.

    Can you point to any accounts you think are doing Kagi astroturfing. IE being paid to advertise with. Because now it just sounds like you're speculating.

  • If they aren't paying anyone is it advertising? I'm not sure what you're actually talking about anymore. Maybe I never did

  • In retrospect yes, my comment could be seen as a positive. That wasn't my intent.
