And it will loose Google’s deal money.

Oh, just leave me alone. If you’re implying that I’m a racist you are being plainly dishonest. Maybe people should stop pretending to be offended by every little shit (or mistake) on the internet to farm fake karma points by virtue signaling. Goodbye.
- Comment on Ban for upvotes is real here? 4 days ago:
Well, not my case. Looks like once I used a pejorative term, just because I found it amusing (without knowing it was a racial slur in some countries). Shit may happen when you’re not a native speaker (and sometimes it happens even when you are).
- Comment on Ban for upvotes is real here? 4 days ago:
I speak 3 languages, for that matters, but let’s be real, one can’t be aware of each and every slightly offending term on each one of them. I can honestly say that I didn’t read about “japs” anywhere and that I just found it amusing when it came to my mind (the thread was about an amusing meme). Anyway, I’ll take care from now on.

My question is what led the OP to check my modlog. If they are trying to invalidate my opinion, that’s not the way.
- Comment on Ban for upvotes is real here? 4 days ago:
See, you’re part of the problem. And lol at the content removed for racist slur, when I didn’t have an idea that “Japs” was such (not everybody is from USA, you know…).

You can also actually not self-hosting the database but have your documents hosted on some WebDAV server you control.

This place is exactly as shitty as Reddit is. Just “decentralized”. I have already mentioned this elsewhere. Don’t you dare not being part of some circle jerk or har a slightly unpopular opinion. And no, I’m not talking about LGBT rights nor anything related to it.

Too bad :-(

Jeez, guys… You’re a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.

“I really struggle trying to understand the addiction”, was my original statement. The two last words are important.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
I’m specifically talking about the video as a medium to share information, and youtube is the worst, as it’s 99% filled with crappy influencer stuff whose only aim is to monetize people’s time.

Well, maybe they’ll get rid of the cookies banners /s.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
To each its own, I guess. I prefer written stuff.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 3 weeks ago:
TBF, just leaving YouTube would be better. There’s plenty of information out there which don’t need some glorified video hosting platform (books, blogs, wikis and so oh). I really struggle trying to understand people’s addiction to YT…

You actually should.
- Comment on Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes 3 weeks ago:
What about open sourcing stuff, instead of making it just “unsupported”?
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 3 weeks ago:
One data point isn’t statistically significant.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I think OP refers at “blasting it so everybody around is forced to listen to it”. I do the same with prog/death metal, to isolate from… people in general.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
You can’t be serious
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Even worse if it’s “bad” music (reggaeton, trap).
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 4 weeks ago:
And they are systematically downvoted to hell.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 4 weeks ago:
People here loves to downvote for every little shit they disagree with… And they say Reddit is toxic… Anyway, I don’t care. I just disable “show score” in settings and let the kids play.
Back to the topic, I don’t use youtube at all, I don’t like watching videos. I think Kagi is a great idea, but honestly 10 €/month is a lot of money for me at the moment, so I’m just self-hosting SearXNG and call it a day.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 4 weeks ago:
Because according to their perception “search” has less value than “watch”, which may make sense if one seldom really uses a search engine (i.e., they just use the same 3-4 websites)
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 4 weeks ago:
Sam . Mine is hosted on my RPi. Not ideal, I know, but at least it strips out tracking bits from the upstream engines.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 4 weeks ago:
Not many people want to (or can) shell out 10 $/month for a search engine. I’m not saying it’s pointless, I’m simply saying that few people would do it.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 4 weeks ago:
Indeed. But it seems one isn’t allowed to criticize Mozilla here, so prepare for downvotes or enraged replies m

I guess so, but recent news aren’t exactly inspiring. I’m really sorry for you (and I say that from an EU country with shitty politicians as well).
