Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites (www.theverge.com)

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...

I've been using Kagi for a few months and I'm liking it so far.

I bought a plug-in hybrid last week. I'd have gotten a pure EV, but I take road trips sometimes, and I don't want to rely on the patchy changing network in the US.

Another factor is that I rent a house, and there's already one EV to charge at 120V. The wiring can't really handle a second charger, and I didn't want to always be fighting over it.

Python is great for what it is, but the best language developed in your lifetime? Its type system is janky and bolted on. A good type system is one of the main things I look for to call a programming language great.

lolcatnip ,

It's my favorite scripting language, but far from my favorite language overall.

If you're that afraid if the people who build phones, why are you ok with using any device that can access the internet?

lolcatnip ,

Using biometric data to unlock your phone does not make you more vulnerable to petty criminals.

lolcatnip ,

Only after trying to have him executed.

lolcatnip ,

Have you actually seen Idiocracy? There's a whole lot of fuckery being glossed over here.

lolcatnip ,

That's great for sites you visit routinely but way more hassle than it's worth for one-off visits.

lolcatnip ,

Browser profiles serve very different needs from OS level accounts.

lolcatnip ,

The joke is making fun of anyone who does assume incognito mode is hiding anything from third parties.

All the Chrome bashing around this issue is pathetic. Every major browser has the same feature and none that I know of give it a name that makes the purpose any more clear. It's obvious a lot of people have an irrational hatred of Chrome and don't understand the actual issues involved.

lolcatnip ,

My brother in Christ, you are literally giving an example of how browser profiles and OS accounts solve different problems.

lolcatnip ,

Consumers and their own employees.

lolcatnip ,

Whooooosh.

They're describing how something felt, not something that "actually" happened. Who are you to say they didn't feel that way?

Calling anyone who's ever had a psychedelic experience a "druggie" is extremely judgemental. Unlike crystals, the point of psychedelics is the experience itself, and I can assure you it's very real. But that makes me a "druggie" right? Seems like you think the only people qualified to comment on psychedelic experiences are the ones who know nothing about them because they've never had one.

lolcatnip ,

You're reading a lot into that person's comment that isn't there.

lolcatnip ,

This is an episode of Rick and Morty.

Dude, that's how much RAM I used to have on a super high-end dev box at work with 56 cores. It was very helpful for compiling Chrome. WTF are you doing with a personal machine that needs that much RAM?

lolcatnip ,

Ok fair enough. It's just surprising to see someone say that. The standard-issue dev machine where I work is a laptop with 32 GB.

lolcatnip ,

Holy shit what an idiotic thing to say.

It may surprise you to find out that "lower class" people are in the lower class because they don't have money. What are they supposed to invest?

Not all handwriting is cursive. Mine, for example.

Christians love to do this thing where they pretend each verse, taken completely out of context, stands on its own. Seems to be especially popular with American evangelicals.

lolcatnip ,

You choose the apps. It will also auto-add apps based on usage.

That's the kind of history enthusiast I was as a kid, but I outgrew it. I still find the history or warfare interesting, but there are so many other facets of history that are equally fascinating and a lot more relevant to our lives today.

lolcatnip ,

Da, comrade.

lolcatnip ,

If you follow that reasoning, the ultimate conclusion is that it's perfectly fine to let sick or disabled people die.

lolcatnip , (edited )

I don't see what point you're trying to make, unless you think I need a reindeer reminder that everyone eventually dies.

lolcatnip ,

Any more than Herbert ripped off the book Lawrence of Arabia is based on?

lolcatnip ,

All nationalism is brain rot.

lolcatnip ,

I'm American and I didn't get the reference.

lolcatnip ,

Yeah, I think I would've have gotten it in 2019, but kneeling definitely isn't at the top of my mind as a form of protest. And even at the time it seemed odd to me because kneeling is almost always interpreted as a show of respect.

lolcatnip ,

I award you one tyranny point for telling people what to do.

lolcatnip ,

Except there are a ton of right wing positions that don't benefit anyone except the politicians who use them to keep their supporters angry and afraid. I'd go so far as to say left wing policies are primarily about helping people and right wing policies are primarily about hurting people.

lolcatnip ,

That motherfucker singlehandedly proved that free speech in the US is a myth.

lolcatnip ,

I'm sure you preemptively provide citations for every claim you make.

lolcatnip ,

People who don't care about enshittification, or who don't think about it specifically in connection to Reddit, aren't here because they're using Reddit instead.

Go down this list any tell me how many traits don't apply to Republicans. https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html

There is actually at least one other: Conservapedia. It's for people who live in a weird right-wing fantasy land.

lolcatnip ,

If it's actual Hawaiians making the pizza for themselves, maybe. But for most people in the US a Hawaiian pizza is ham and pineapple. I've even seen them for sale in Hawaii.

lolcatnip ,

Nonvoters don't get to have opinions.

lolcatnip ,

Ok, pizza cutter.

lolcatnip ,

All edge, no point.

The idea that someone trying to commit suicide would shoot themselves through the cheeks implies a truly staggering level of incompetence. The whole point of shooting yourself in the head is to have a quick and painless death. Shooting random holes in your body first is the opposite of that.

I played Diablo 3. It was extremely boring.

Wait till you learn about the American South.

Statements about Israel in general are not antisemitic because Israel is a political entity, not a synonym for Jews or Judaism.

Claiming Israel represents all Jews is antisemitic, though, because Israel is fucking awful and it's unfair to blame all Jews for it.

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?”::During a recent TGIF all-hands meeting, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed what sources describe as a growing morale crisis inside the company.

If you're judging comments based mainly on how long they are, you should be grading high school essays about Jane Eyre, not trying to participate in an adult conversation.
