> For the first time, pornography apps are available on iPhone from other marketplaces — apps we’ve never allowed on the App Store because of the risks they create, especially for children.

Wouldn't anybody think about the children?!!!!!???!!

Very interesting and worldwide shipping for pennies! Thanks!

> newest generations aren't giving a shit anymore about football, much less than their parents and grandparents.

These are good news, tbh.

> Computers and copyright are fairly recent innovations in some parts of Europe such as Spain and Italy

LOL, what did you smoke, man?

They are stupid enough that they block almost no ipv6 range. So if your provider has ipv6, you're relatively safe.

> I dread buying a new model of anything these days, knowing that the MBAs will have found some way to shave a cent off a million units, or a millionth of a meter from a poor mouse foot.

So true... Generally speaking, quality of anything from a reputable brand was taken as granted just a couple decades ago... Now, every time I buy something there's some detail showing how the people in charge wanted to save a few cents making it.

I get furious when payment is needed to pee at a train station... It's not the pennies it costs, I just find it unethical, at least where train stations are owned by the State.

The CERN Animal Shelter for Computer Mice is a non-profit organization maintained by CERN staff during their leisure time...

Love the look of that board :-)

I guess so, but what would be the use case for it?

Great FM. I still use it consistently, especially when dealing with a large number of files.

What's the problem with debit cards?

A wise man.

>Exporting passkeys is the single required feature for me to start using them more.

Ditto

I meant that only starting from 10 $. You get unlimited searches. I'd burn these in a few days, as I rely heavily on my search engine.

Fortunately, I have been able to join a family on sharesub and get "unlimited" for basically half the price. Actually, it's a great search engines, with lots of goodies. I really hope it gets more adoption.

> Kagi gets talked about on here constantly, and it's not even on the list (though I suspect there's a reason?)

Being at least 10€/month for the only "useful" tier is a powerful reason for that...

Maybe also Kagi being a metasearch engine reduces its visibility? Just speculating, I obviously don't know how it really works.

Oddly enough, Youtube is not among my many addictions. I'm mainly interested in technical topics and can't stand watching a n-minutes videos when I can read a blog with more detailed info in n/10 minutes. For very very VERY interesting topics, I may ask some LLM to summarize the video for me.

Hi. I apologize if my comment sounded too snarky or even rude. But really, despite the current trend to snub it, syntax for writing texts has a reason to be, same as in programming or coding (I'm speaking in general, right now). Rules are what make a text actually readable. As an example, I often deal with teenagers and 1st graders in my job and have a really hard time deciphering what they write :-/.

Incidentally,I also believe that taking the time to write and properly format a text (be it a blog entry or an SMS) is a form of respect towards those who read it. But this last part is just an old man's rant ;-).

I don't need excuses to ignore something I consider rude.

That's similar to when people send me audio messages on WhatsApp instead of texting me. My position is that if you have no time to type a proper message, I won't have the time to listen to your blabbering.

Someone should tell that guy to buy a new keyboard with a working "shift" key.

Seriously, I can't understand why someone chooses to willfully ignore the most basic grammar rules just "to be different". This just makes everything harder and annoying to read.

Works fine for me from Spain. Maybe due to IPv6...

I think you don't know what you're talking about.

> If AI can just scan a video and provide bullet points, what's the point of the video at all?

Maybe, just maybe, the video format is being abused. Blogs are much more time-efficient. Frankly, every time I see some interesting topic linked to a video, I just skip it. I don't have the time or will to listen to some "content creator" blabbering to increase their video length/revenues. If I'm REALLY interested, I just use some LLM to summarize it. And no, I don't feel bad for doing this.

Living in a place where a lot of people does this, I'm all for it. Even more, ban people doing their "walkie-talkie" conversations on Whatsapp in loud voice.

I went the hard mode and migrated all my personal emails (3 domains) to mxroute. Haven't been using Gmail since 2015ish.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with WSJ and, due to paywall, I just read a few paragraphs... Still I wonder: is this satire or a genuine opinion? Because if it's the latter it's quite cringe.

EDIT: "Mr. Gallagher, a Journal contributor, is head of defense for Palantir Technologies and a distinguished fellow at the Hudson Institute. He represented Wisconsin’s Eighth Congressional District (2017-24) and was chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party".

Jeez...

It would be nice if the SearXNG project could integrate this as an option... For those of use who don't (directly) use Bing, Google or DDG.
