...But seeing as Brave search thinks my traffic is from a bot and the captcha isn't working, I don't have many options. Even Brave had been manipulated into having trash results over time. Just tried StartPage and it was basically unusable with all the propaganda.

@ins0mniak I may have to try it. I looked into Yacy a while back and was not impressed (owing not a small amount to it being written in Java), but it may be time to give it another try. Maybe I can get it to index on some semi-reasonable news feeds, if any even exist anymore.
I remember the old days when having a URL to go to was an exciting thing - "This company has a website, let's fire up the modem and check it out!" And then the early days of search with Webcrawler and Ask Jeeves and the 30+ other competitors. Then Google was amazing when it first came out, nearly instantly destroying every other search competitor.
We never knew where it would end back then. I never imagined having more knowledge personally available to humankind than ever before but having it gated by a propaganda/censorship wall that had once been merely a search engine to help me find whatever it is I was looking for.
Maybe there's hope for the future, but there will need to be some major shifts first.

Brave search being gay now

The whole "you need an account to pay to search but we don't track you we SUPER DUPER promise" concept always seemed suspicious to me. Every business in the world is driven by getting as much private information about users as they possibly can and selling it to the highest bidder. It's just too much of a temptation to resist.

Does anyone still use Kagi or was that just a viral marketing attempt a while back when everyone here was talking about it?

@Morghur @Hoss @nozaki it's why I don't make fun of boomers, at least not in a hateful way
-
@MeBigbrain @nozaki @Morghur @Hoss There are a lot of awful ones (that I know personally) but I also know a lot of boomers who are genuinely good, generous people. I don't think retardation is a generational thing; every generation gets its own brainwashing, and some fall to it while others resist it.

@Hoss @nozaki can't wait until millennials are in their 60s and the kids are screaming about how millennials are the reason the world is so bad

@Verfassungsschmutz @33c74427f3b2b73d5e38f3e6c991c122a55d204072356f71da49a0e209fb6940 @annakatarina @mitchconner sir you are drunk on an internet ghetto trying evangelize a version control system while your country is rapidly invaded by people who hate you, with war and economic collapse on the near horizon, I don't think anyone here has any room to talk about "left in the dirt"

@sun @lonestarr @nozaki @bot @KuteboiCoder @teratology
hate women online = incel
love women online = simp
the key is clearly to flip back and forth schizophrenically from day to day

@lain It's like those old mansions where they hair staircases leading to nowhere to confuse the ghosts.

@joker_satx I'm tired of pretending that beer tastes good
-
@MisterRogersSnapped @Humpleupagus @joker_satx I remember first hearing about Nick in 2020 and immediately disliked him for no reason in particular. The way this kid started showing up on streams and being mentioned everywhere felt really contrived, like old-school viral marketing. My intuition was, once again, correct.

@djsumdog @JoeBravo77 hurr hurr you must be fat boomer because you think people in uniform who are all fit might be feds, only fat retard boomers think that hurr hurrrrr

@ins0mniak they do get mad at the most obnoxious, minute things, don't they
-
@ins0mniak I used to think older men talking about their wives/gfs complaining about the men basically not being able to read their minds was just made up, but no, it turns out that many (most?) women do actually feel perplexed and frustrated that you don't know what they're thinking without them telling you.

@Jonny @BowsacNoodle okay here you go, I stole it myself from higher in the thread

@Jonny @BowsacNoodle don't be a faggot, use the santa hat avatar jonny

@Xenophon @matrix Free speech works when everyone is more-or-less on the same team with the same goals, but maybe some disagreements about how to get there. When you have people with opposing goals, free speech becomes "free speech" and is just a weapon applied selectively by whoever is in charge (which can be good but almost never is).

@nyanide Make some idiot-proof and they'll make a better idiot.
