Someone buried yahoo in a pet sematary

I forget Yahoo! exists until suddenly they’re involved in the most unexpected ways
- Comment on Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO 4 weeks ago:
I wondered what they’d do next to make discord even worse. That’ll do it.
- Comment on Blocking Gmail ads is possible! Here's how in 2025. 1 month ago:
Perhaps ironically, the article itself is an ad.
To save anyone a click, it tells you to uncheck “promotions” and “social” in gmail settings. (I can tell you from personal experience that Google’s willingness to respect this setting is dodgy.)
It also suggests using a non-chromium browser with an adblocker.
This isn’t in the article, but obviously using an email client like Thunderbird might help.
It finishes by suggesting you to try Tuta™ Mail for free! Which, after reading this needlessly wordy article only to be hit with an ad, I’ve just decided I will never ever do.
- Comment on Privacy disaster as LGBTQ+ and BDSM dating apps leak private photos. 1 month ago:
It can’t be overstated how devastating this news will be for people who use these apps. People in these communities often use apps like these because it’s safer than being out and open at their physical locations and/or jobs.

I’d be curious to know what you learn. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re being rate limited. It seems like the big guys always try to hurt anything that’s not monetizable in any way they can.

I’m not entirely sure, but even the best ones seem to have like a 66% chance of actually working when you need it.

I’m in exactly the same situation. I’ve noticed worse and worse ads on Startpage, and they seem to find new ways around uBO so it’s a constant battle. Not to mention the news tab on Startpage forcing me to view almost everything via MSN, making it useless.
Sear XNG instances work great, when they’re up, but turns out there are no very reliable public instances (which, to be clear, is totally understandable … but often I find myself searching things in a pinch, and I don’t want “how to stop the bleeding” with no results on searx.tiekoetter.com to be the last thing my loved ones find on my phonescreen).
I’m totally giving this one a shot for a while.

No I’m usually pretty square

Yes, but I haven’t posted there yet. It seems like a nice community, but not the type of thing I’ll keep using longterm.
