  • Awesome for color adjustment for the scuba diving videos. Impressive how high quality the results is and how easy is to make it

    Problem is not this idiot, the problem is who enabled him

  • Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo

  • Crawling is not really the elephant in the room, really. The issue is ranking and I don’t see how they plan to address that for having good quality

  • Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo

    Jump

  • (Oh and of course if you don’t want to self host and you don’t want your queries to be proxies by random Joe with the public instances, go for the engine you want to “donate” your attention to. I would go for Ecosia just because they seem the most ethical of all, including DDG…. But your choice)

  • Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo

  • The vast majority of the quality comes from the result ranking (that is what people generally refer as indexes albeit indexes are slightly different conceptually). In practice there are two main indexes/ranking (a) Google (b) Bing. DDG, Ecosia, yahoo are, at best, tuning the ranking (not sure if they make things better or worse with that).

    This is the reason if you want meaningfully better quality you need searXNG. Because combining results from multiple search engines you grt both main indexes.

    There is a ranking/quality problem there as well because how do you join the results of multiple search engines? I think it simply uses a “voting” system where it bumps the results from most search engines. This also means that you want a “balanced” number of search engines based on Google and Bing otherwise you’ll get mainly Google or mainly bing results. Or you may just enable only Google and Bing, really 🤷‍♂️

    If there will be new indexes (e.g. the new European one) you may want to enable them as well but this kind of problems take time to become competitive with giants like Google and Bing (albeit with enshittification this gap is being reduced)

  • It's Women's Fault

    Jump

  • If you like football and your best friend doesn’t like football, what do you do? You beg your best friend to play football… but if they really don’t like football or it is just a “once in a while thing” what you do? Probably find another friend or group of friends that like football. Your best friend likely stays your best friend but now you are happy, your best friend is not annoyed by you asking playing football and you have new friends

    Of course you don’t hide or lie to your best friend on what you do and when… otherwise they would be (rightfully) upset but if you share and they are mad that you want to have new friends it’s on them to be unreasonable.

    Well here Ethical non monogamy in a nutshell in a context where it is socially acceptable 🤷‍♂️

  • Do you realise that kids before puberty don’t have much difference from biological point of view. Sexual organs are not developed or fully developed and no hormones to speak of.

    The story of Lego you said… cool you can control parents behaviour… what about peer pressure? Or the idea was to control the parents of a whole town (including Cartoons and TV shows)?

  • Yeah as I said… emotional education should not be only for boys.

    Sorry mate (or congratulation… depending from the context 🙂)

  • It's Women's Fault

    Jump

  • Boys are taught to ignore emotions (“are you crying? Man up!”)

    But emotions is what connects humans (and animals for that matter) and can’t really be ignored anyway

    Join the two… and you get loneliness, frustration, rage.

    We should start a conversation on emotional education (not only for boys but especially for boys)

  • U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records

    Jump

  • Dude you don’t know me nor where I grew up

    Their leader started illegal activities when he was 17 (wiki) so unlikely to have experienced torture and mutilation since a young age. Also no matter the industry, leaders of large organisations (from religions to criminal gangs) are never stupid and/or ignorants

    But this is beyond the point, it was clearly something that will never happen

    But, sure, say a random thing to a stranger on internet to look badass when you don’t know anything anyway

  • Transcript: Trump Voters Suddenly Shocked at How Badly He Screwed Them

  • Will probably he doesn’t have his money under a mattress… so I guess he may eventually unretire 🤷‍♂️😂

  • If I was in the leadership of Tren de Aragua gang I would start incentivising the use of svastica, iron cross. The number of people with these tattoos would clearly be part of the gang, right?

  • I Replaced My Entire Work Setup with European Software – Is It Possible?

    Jump

  • The fundamental issue is that these days there isn’t European software (and I doubt even American software).

    We all rely on a supply chain of software. This open source library from a French guy hosted on an GitHub, this linkable but closed source library for interacting with this piece of hardware, this componed developed by people all around the world and hosted in Germany.

    Heck even the Linux kernel kicked out Russian maintainers for this exact reason.

    If the S* will hit the fan as the s* promised during election, I expect more and more government mandated backdoors.

    Imagine the s*show of log4j but this time in boost or gcc std library made in a way that seems an innocent mistake, hard to trigger and hidden in the changelog and submitted at the same time a legitimate change in the same file happen

  • AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking

  • That, I guess, it’s the whole point. Stopping being tracked 🙂

  • The chat space is problematic.

    • There are a lot of apps that don’t encrypt at all (e.g. Google chat, discord, etc)
    • There are apps that encrypt but they are subject to jurisdictions that can or may in the future force backdoors (e.g., Chinese apps, possibly telegram, possibly US apps in the future)
    • There are apps that encrypt, are in countries that are privacy focused but are not for free (e.g., threema)

    This contributes to a fragmentation that makes WhatsApp the app that-you-must-have

    Sure it is supposedly encrypted but I would not bet my money that is without back doors

  • YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt"

    Jump

  • Except that countries like Canada has laws that makes it possible to happen

    I would be curious to read a reference to that… not that any country cares just they history on how they agreed on something like that
