  • Your second paragraph lines up with state law in California.

  • The swing state thing really makes my blood boil mainly because moving from my shithole red state with the same population as the city I live in now (Los Angeles) my vote means nothing. In fact, I always chuckle when I get political mail here because it’s like “why waste your time?”

  • I like how I vividly remember learning about this in middle school and being told it’s illegal, then as an adult I just see it happening????

  • …which is so dumb because I can tell everyone I’m voting for

    <candidate>

    then go in there and vote for

    <other candidate>

    instead. 😒

  • I wasn’t trying to suggest the entire language has no irregularities. Only that in my mind if you take English “story” → “sutori” things like the “su” make sense because if you listen to yourself say it, you are making a “su” sound rather than just “s.”

    Even the “shinbun” → “shimbun” part makes sense to me because it’s rather difficult to pronounce the former properly.

    Though it has irregularities it seems much, much more logical than English or Spanish. Also, I just don’t like conjugating everything all the time (that’s more of an argument toward learning Mandarin but Japanese is still way simpler than conjugating in Spanish in my opinion).

  • No but you are misunderstanding me — I’m talking about a web API for others to consume, not using GraphQL in the frontend of a website.

  • I’m discussing APIs that can be consumed by others, not something for my frontend to use.

    My frontend uses Hotwire — I’m not using GraphQL as some Node.js guy writing the entire frontend in JavaScript.

    I think you’re discussing PWA technologies where I’m trying to talk about web APIs.

  • How would you explain the Japanese? I’m only curious because something that draws me to the language is its “common sense” approach to pronunciation.

    Super basic example: か ka が ga

    When they import words from other languages the phonetic interpretation makes so much more sense to me. This actually drives me away from learning a lot of European languages.

  • Was this due to DMARC/DKIM, SPF or something else?

  • “Care about the interface” and “Windows” are oxymorons in my book (also hate KDE but haven’t been on desktop Linux in ages).

  • I don’t use it due to the need to downgrade your iCloud account security settings unfortunately.

  • I’m entrenched in Apple devices but in love with Linux on embedded devices, VPS servers, etc. I remember the magic of my first Linux install (Red Hat Linux on a Windows 3.1-era IBM ThinkPad that ran Windows 2000 flawlessly), and I’m really considering picking up some midrange laptop for a desktop install of Linux.

  • macOS does this too shockingly despite using the file extension as a “hint” to the file type. I think it’s unique in that most UNIX/Linux systems use magic number and Windows blindly accepts that the file is of the type that matches the extension.

  • I hate that they block VPNs, I’m forced to route Reddit traffic through my home router. I usually use a redirect to an alternate frontend but it’s been buggy lately.

  • Yeah I agree, was just a dumb retort.

  • That’s actually pretty awesome.

  • I’ll give that a look, thanks!

    Edit: This looks like a JavaScript library rather than a serious API standard.

  • And if you’re looking for legitimate reviews, good luck! Everyone’s an affiliate now.

  • I’ve been using this for about a year, but at work I’m still on Google (don’t know why).

    What’s weird is SearXNG seems like it gets better results now, even though they’re just coming from the others.

    One thing I like is that I can switch instances to get varied results based on the instance’s geographical location. In other words, it doesn’t feel like anything’s targeted.

  • Just block ‘em with DNS and/or IP filtering; you won’t be dependent on a browser and as a bonus you’ll get system-wide blocking
