It’s famos for being chock full of c*nts most of the day.

Also how it's eerily dead on the weekends.

Good; crazy how many public services, organisations (government and otherwise), companies, charities, and public people are still supporting this far-right platform. Do they not read the news? It turns me off every one of them. I have my criticisms of The Guardian but they did the right thing here, far too late but at least they did it.

In the UK you typically have to pay and agree to their terms be a party member to vote on things like leadership, most people aren't party members. After that they wouldn't typically spend much money on sending things out to you (or no more than anyone else) since you're a safe vote (apart from plenty of emails about party activities). Just to ask you, what I've always wondered about the US primaries is do many people register for their opposing party to vote for their worst candidate in order to sabotage them?

I didn’t think folks actually care about ads as much as you think. This place is a bubble in that regard.

Nothing to do with ads for me, it's user tracking.

I agree that AGI is dangerous but I don't see LLMs as evidence that we're close to AGI, I think they should be treated as separate issues.

That's my question too, do they not have a secret ballot in the US? If they do (and I'm pretty sure they do) my advice to OP is to deny who they voted for until they can get to safety, "was just joking about voting Harris" is a perfectly reasonable lie if your safety is threatened, the family would have no proof or way of finding out.

Ironically one of DDG's early selling points, before they fully jumped on the privacy bandwagon, was that they would filter out results for low-effort content farms (this was pre-LLM stuff).

I had used DDG since almost the beginning and it was one of the things I was originally sold on. It's difficult to find a source for it now but I did find this: https://web.archive.org/web/20110608072253/https://www.technologyreview.com/blog/post.aspx?bid=377&bpid=25532

Are you (or is anyone here) daily-driving Stract yet? I discovered it a few months ago and thought it was everything I was looking for in a search engine, but also concluded that its search results aren't up to the standard I can use for now, so I filed it as one to look out for. Would be interested in hearing others' experiences.

It should be yes, though to be fair Americans are the worst for doing this when it's the other way round.

How ever YouTubers get paid is entirely between the YouTubers and YouTube, that is the relevant contract. Adblocking is necessary for user security and not negotiable. I do choose to pay some YouTubers via Patreon but that's completely a personal choice that I feel no obligation towards,

I've always maintained it would have been an amazing game without the glitches. In a way I can appreciate it for what it nearly was.

It's worth a try, though in my experience it can struggle with very large files.

.org was always intended for miscellaneous sites that don't fit anywhere else, I think that's the most appropriate. I mainly remember this from back in "the day" but here's a source I've just found to back me up: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1591

I'm not a big fan of the "new" generic TLDs like .world, they're not part of my hill, I don't really care what they're used for but I think we could do without them. Most Lemmy instances should really be .org in my ideal scheme of things.

Still I'd ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we're here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

I only browse by subscribed because I don't subscribe to communities with "memes" and "shitposts", if a community has too many of them I unsubscribe to them.

Immediately thought of this:

For me (UK):

zsh = zed ess aitch

sudo - exactly the same as "pseudo"

ssh = ess ess aitch

I'm not alone in this, it's only what all of my colleagues say.

A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it's quite a relic.

Can you save it DRM-free? That's all I ask for.
