Fairly sure there are some decent societal goods in outcomes around medical research and engineering

Wasn’t supposed to be condescending, apologies that I came across like that. I just more meant you aren’t representative of who a FOSS potential killer app needs to reach. I agree, I don’t want cloud, AI, subscriptions. But I do want a tool palette and interaction experience that doesn’t require looking at the docs to use.
From a UX perspective federation has been absolutely bungled. Twitters greatest trick was to cause an exodus before the alternatives had reached maturity, though I imagine the demand has pushed them further than they would be otherwise.
IMO BlueSky is by far the best Twitter replacement, insofar as you can just use it like Twitter but it is built on an open protocol, allowing you to run your own server if you wish but with zero interoperability friction or worrying about servers on the actual client. Also it has already started basic bridging between threads and mastadon, its custom feeds in place of algorithms is genius and stackable moderation is the most compelling solution I’ve seen to the core complaints and concerns over modern social media.
And it’s independent, transparent and run by intelligent, passionate people. And, very importantly, Jack Dorsey has nothing to do with it!
which is great for you, but not for anyone who has even briefly used more mainstream options
“Eww, like the coarser thread which forms the outline of the design in some lacemaking techniques!? That is just a bit gross don’t you think?”
The simple solution is to change it to a BSD license and call it BLIMP
I mean if you’re going to go Chromium-based at least use Vivaldi… Brave-s benefits minus Brave’s shithousery
There are allegedly even better fonts for dyslexia, but do they upset other people as much? No.
yeah this is such a thing. I don’t want to replay a 40-80 hour game to access 15 hours of new content interwoven or not even that just new features on the way. I feel CyberPunk getting abandoned is actually just a weird new-speak for it being ACTUALLY finished
Yeah it seems way more smaller search engines use Bing than Google, I’m not sure why but I’m guessing either API costs or privacy agreements? DDG did get into hot water a couple of years ago over this because Bing was serving ads which were not private and were potentially profiling DDG users. No company is perfect all the time but they did promptly attempt to fix the issue. I do like them as far as tech firms go.
I too am a fan of Comic Sans. It sits in my heart the same place as overplayed dad rock.
I actually code in a monospace variant of comic sans because my life is basically a shitpost
Phind has its own approach with various automated prompts and UI functions. It’s free to use so you can compare the differences in function.
I don’t even think I’ve ever heard the word “propitiatory” used so TIL from my own error

It’s funnier than 95% of film or TV comedies. The writers are amazing.
“Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun” is the funniest interaction in any video game I have ever played by an order of magnitude
As soon as we conceded “milk” for plant milks we were setting off on a long path of bullshit. If something is designed as an alternative to something it should be able to explain it’s designed purpose.
If you’re a programmer, might I suggest the brave new world of ChatGPT enhanced search via Phind.com
Even if you’re not, it’s fantastic. It basically takes your input and processes it like ChatGPT but then is trained to run web searches to grab further information and uses that to progress its own internal monologue. The result is a natural language response with search engine like results down the side which are cited within the main response.
