  This type of people exist in every generation, whether forming a mob to enforce segregation or engaging in pogroms.

  X does it more like the second one, but there’s nothing stopping mastodon from doing it like the first.

  Not quite.

  DuckDuckGo’s results are a compilation of “over 400” sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha , Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google. It also uses data from  sites such as wikipedia, to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the search results.

  It’s day 25. So Trump broke his campaign pledge to be dictator “only” on day one.

  Nope. Although one explorer did call it Gulf of Florida at one point.

  I don’t. DuckDuckGo and an alternative email provider are wonderful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I completely crossed off all GM cars due to lack of CarPlay. I am boycotting Tesla. I don’t trust BMW because they tried to make heated seats a subscription. Now Jeep and Stellantis?

  The timing makes me think he only did it after Jacobin magazine and some bloggers reminded him his awful policy exists. Is State Department asleep?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Again, you’re trying to make excuses for him based on what you assume his intentions are. I’m judging him based on his actions and the harm it will cause. I don’t care about his intentions; the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to judge Tim by his intentions, I’m judging him by his actions. Did Trump solicit this bribe or did Tim preemptively do it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There previously were scams that invoked Bill Gates’ name, but I guess crypto made it much easier, especially since anyone can watch Musk gush on about crypto on YouTube, thus validating the ideas for the gullible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The internet always moves on; the most popular bulletin boards and usenet groups and web forums eventually fell and people moved away. Even Digg had a powerful following and heavy user traffic and due to Reddit style changes everyone left too. Reddit just as likely.
