That was an awesome read, thank you!

Oh, that worked, thank you!

Maybe you could implement the search suggestions URL into the OpenSearch (because at least when I added it via right click add search engine, it only added the search URL), but that could be an error on my part.

Also, I am just curious, where do you get the search suggestions from? Do you just query one of the engines?

I’ve installed this on my home server and I must say, I am quite impressed!

It just feels so much snappier than SearXNG, I think the loading “animation” helps with that a lot. I also love the whole plugin system, there is already a lot available, maybe in the future, if I have a good idea, I will make one myself.
I was a bit skeptical about the AI thing at first, but at least you are transparent about it and your stance seems to be reasonable.

If you want some suggestions on what to work on in the future, it would be cool, if there was a search suggestion api URL, I could add to Firefox to have search suggestions in my address bar. Also maybe bangs to only search with a certain engine, like in SearXNG.

Thank you for all the work you already put into this, looking forward to future updates!

The great thing about git is, that it is pretty decentralized in principle (everyone has a full copy of all source code and commits on their machines), so it is pretty easy to move your whole repository to an alternative git hoster, like Codeberg.

You could also just not use these services. You don’t need them. They were a stupid idea to begin with.

I would recommend you buy a Pixel phone and install GrapheneOS on it, if you want to continue to be able to do what you want with your phone.

It’s in Googles best interest to lock this down even further, so we should try to just not rely on their software anymore

Reddit was a centralized vc-funded social media from the start. That always was and still is the problem with reddit (enshitification etc.)

The Fediverse is none of those things. We have the power. As long as there are good people in the Fediverse, that want and are willing to do great things with it, the Fediverse (or at least a portion of it will be great.

Think of the Fediverse like E-Mail. Shure, there are shitty E-Mail providers. But if you are unhappy, you can just switch your provider and still talk to anyone that has E-Mail. There is no way for a single bad actor to ruin E-Mail for everyone, because there is no one fully in control over E-Mail.

There is a guide for this here, but I don’t think it’s really possible or a good idea to build it for unsupported devices.

At that point it would be better to install Linuage (or a fork of it), because they support devices for way longer or look into PostmarketOS

What’s your budget?

You can still geht really good deals on older used mini pcs

It’s not real, please don’t fall for this obvious marketing bullshit.

That version will probably give them more intelligent answers than the real Zuck

I guess gender is pretty much meaningless in my opinion. It probably should be abolished.

But also, it’s fine if people care about their own gender.

It’s not that big of a deal as people make it out to be.

Gender is a social construct and describes a certain way we choose to act and dress etc.

So it’s pretty much impossible to be wrong about your gender if you are honest about your ambitions. The only way I could see someone being “wrong” about their gender is if someone says they are a certain gender but deliberately chooses to act in accordance with another. But even then, the line is blurry, so it would be stupid to police, what “true” gender expression is supposed to be.

That isn’t even a real insult.

I think you need to get off the internet and go touch some grass or something.

Shut up, you are annoying

It really depends on the video game I guess. There are a lot of video games, I would consider high art, but there are others, I wouldn’t. That’s really subjective though and other people will probably consider other games as art than me.

But there is no way to objectively determine what art is. My personal definition is like I determine the gender of a person. If the artist says, it’s art, then it is art.

I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.

It’s still sold, so it definitely has a market value.

If you are talking about sociatal value, then I disagree even more firmly. Art has a lot of value, regardless of what medium it is delivered by.

You know that movies and video games are digital art, right?

Yeah, let’s just take the Mona Lisa and shread it.

Can’t be stealing if I don’t make money from it, right?

I think that you have a lot of agency over how you live your life and what you do, which has a huge impact on your happiness.

There is no general answer here, just try to do more things that you know are good for you and make you happy. Eat healthier, stay reasonably fit, get a good and consistent sleep cycle (this has a huge hormonal impact on your happiness). Enjoy good art, make meaningful connections, if you are angry about the state of the world, try to revolt.

The question is, if this is correlation or causation. Maybe some people just do less things, that make them happy as they age? Doesn’t mean that you are gonna be unhappy.

Also, this is an average and I imagine, that there is a very high variance among different people. A lot of people may very well get progressively, happier as they age.

I would say, that happiness comes very much down to how you live your life, how you view the world and what you do.

If you have a job, that makes you happy and good relationships and stuff like that, you are probably gonna be happy regardless of your age.
