Privacy Search Engines Anonymous 312086[Reply]

Big search engines like Google track your activity and sell your data for ads — which is why a lot of us don’t search freely anymore. I’ll share a few alternatives I’ve found, and would love to hear what others are using too!

DuckDuckGo: Best for untracked searching
Startpage: Best for unprofiled browsing
MyAllSearch: Clean interface and an emphasis on user privacy.
Qwant: GDPR-protected searching
Startpage: Combines the top results of multiple engines, primarily Gigablast and Yandex.

I’ve reviewed a few of the options listed, and the results are largely the same across the board. What I find frustrating, though, is the constant appearance of 'AI Suggestions.' I’d prefer to do my own searching without having snippets pushed at me. I get that this is the direction things are heading, but seriously—if I want an AI-generated summary, I’ll ask for one.
I can't be the only one fed up with that!!!

No guarantee that even traditional search engines won't be running AI under the hood to return results but yea the summary blurbs are wasted space at best. (and more often hilariously off-base mashups of contradictions and AI hallucination)

Anonymous 312333

Also, kagi.com returns a good sweep of results the few times I've used it. It takes an account registration (or link), though, so privacyheads be forewarned

thats women and society in a nutshell and ill explain to you why my estrogenic friends

people thrive socially on positivity. when you are directly confrontational with someone, it is both masculine, and it becomes a war. Masculinity is confrontational and not happy. it conquers, it is predatory.

society thrives off of productiveness, it actually breaks those who war with each other by jailing them or medicating them. not only this, but you cannot directly war with another social group in a social setting WITHOUT being passive aggressive.

If every social group at a restaurant was aggressive towards each other to choose who is dominant, it would be not fun for anyone including the dominant group, it wouldnt be productive for society, and they would get dogfucked by the next group to come by anyways. you dont have to physically fight to be aggressive and not passive, but imagine if every time you went to a social setting like a bar, every social group started hurling direct insults or debating each other. it wouldnt work, it wouldnt be fun, it wouldnt be social.

women are the keepers of the peace in this way. they hate violence, they hate negativity from men. htey want "security" which is just code for "let me do what i want and dont be bothered by it and ill choose you" this is completely against our animal programming, but women need the option to be independent from their man now, because of various "progress" such as women in the work force. they use relationships to enforce this, so if their man fights with everyone, and makes them look anti social in public, the woman just leaves. she uses this to bend the man to her will, as opposed to before in history when she absolutely couldnt leave due to the dangers of the wilds and neighboring tribes.

your welcome.

socialism Anonymous 309881[Reply]

what do you think about socialism?

I find it kind of convincing lately… i got really into economics a couple years ago and have been learning more and more and now I feel like I really agree with it. Capitalism is making increasingly abstracted products bc the production of basic goods is solved and the return on investment for those is almost zero at this point. Why couldn't we just replace those kinds of businesses with a state-run monopoly with computers predicting & dictating the supply? Why do we let people gain so much power that they can lobby the government into lending itself to their interests only??

I feel that things in the world lately have gotten super weird and rich people are way too powerful whereas a lot of normal people are living sad lives. Men seem to lean right wing overall but they're kind of idiot narcissists and I don't trust them to be doing anything except looking out for their own interests.

Yeah so market manipulation and related fuckery… The perpetrators need to be put on a spit. Its true you're only as good as the stability of your currency. But socialism regulates and legislates it to where market manipulation punishable and illegal. We're only where we are today because the people that could have stopped the destruction of our currency were spineless shitheels. They had good intentions but they cratered and cratered and cratered to promises from liars.

How do you come up with usernames? Anonymous 312890[Reply]

Even though I've been on the internet for a long time, I've never been able to stick to a single username that feels right to me.

I never had a nickname growing up and I'm not really known for anything. Maybe I could do what Doja Cat did and combine two things I like?

I know most people don't really care but the meaning of names are important to me.

Unless you're planning to become widely known or achieve an influencer career you shouldn't use catchy names or the same ones over and over as it's easily identifiable.

Really struggling with that lately ngl. As a teen I just combined two names from anime boys I liked, but it was kinda weird when people actually started calling me that as a first name. Then at 18 I made my steam account and since I couldn't think of anything I just went with the name of the digimon oc I made when I was 13 (but without the -mon). I used that name for like a decade, steam friends I met irl even called me a diminutive of that name (which I did like, it also helped that's the same diminutive of actual, real names, so it wasn't weird). Nowadays I grew kind of tired of it, and since I've distanced myself from most of said friends and am currently talking to new people I want a new identity, but I can't come up with anything I like. Made up names, animal names, ancient Greek words, colors, words in other languages… gah I don't know, nothing feels right, nothing feels "me". I'm currently just using my favorite number until I come up with something that clicks.

Have you tried Clojure? It has access to the entire Java standard library (due to being a JVM language) and is still Lisp-based. You may like it if you prefer Lisp but want the power of Java.

KiwiFarms Hate/Bunker Thread Anonymous 309913[Reply]

Can we have a KiwiFarms hate thread since Lolcow refuses to allow one? The only other place to shittalk them is Onionfarms and I refuse to make an account there since it's basically KF's version of 8Chan

Why I've grown to start hating it despite previously using it
>Users are overly pissy over very mild shit
>Full of MAGA/Trumpie scrotes and pick-mes
>Degens and literal Nazis on the site
>Makes middle school tier tryhard edgy jokes about rape/murder/etc
>Site goes down and glitches a bunch
>Layout makes posting a hassle
>Using the site in a way that allows proper security is annoying
>Refuses to let you delete accounts
>Josh/Null is a weirdo
>Most threads are boring and overly long

Note: Thread may get raided/attract infighters and vendetta posters, report them if this happens

I used to listen to MATI podcast, and there was a point when Josh was clearly frustrated by overly political users. I think he could've prevented them from taking over by moderating his website.

It's remarkable how I used to browse it for the latest lolcow updates, and now, the "happenings" thread is nothing but news headlines and dox announcements. The userbase begging for Daddy Trump to gulag everyone to the left because someone shot some "Milk Toast" pro-life shithead they didn't care about prior to it happening is genuinely more entertaining to observe than most of the lolcow-related stuff they discuss.

Nta but yes, I feel like jersh and the whole userbase collectively lost their minds. Especially post charlie kirk shooting. You go into any news thread regarding people's deaths, you'll see tons of gravedancing and memeing on all fronts from all sides. And that's to be expected, KF is a site with an edgy userbase advocating for free speech. But their hecking husbanderino with a face way too small for his head dies? Hold the fucking press, let's clutch our pearls and virtue signal to high heavens. Even Metokur, whom I never gave a shit about but was known to be an atheist suddenly converted to christianity because of this. What is it about Charlie Kirk that makes the right/alt right treat it like their George Floyd? They're genuinely psychotic about this.

I also used to watch MATI and I feel like its best days are very much over now. Ever since coming back to the USA jersh has been absolutely unbearable and obnoxious, and it seems like he's manic almost. Dude's losing it, when in the past he was capable of reigning in politisperging to a degree.

Smallface wasn't even their husbando. Read some earlier pages in the happening thread about him, they all parrot the idea that they never listened to him but are concerned nonetheless.
They also screech at anyone pointing out the abject irony of a gun peddler becoming a victim of a school shooting.

Then they pretend that this edgy freak, who advocated for the total ban on abortions, parroted Putin's propaganda about the US starting the war in Ukraine, defended tariffs, and so on, is actually some sort of a barely-to-the-right centrist and that lefties are going to want them all dead too.
Which, I guess, isn't that big of a stretch, when you're so radical, you think a guy who would force his 10 y.o. to give birth, is a moderate.

I also like the way they always comment on and seethe about people giving their posts wrong reactions. Even redditors aren't so anal about updoots.

It's all a big shitfest. For me, the final turning point was when Null removed user post counters that used to be under each poster's name. Because it makes obvous that a good chunk of posts is made my mentally ill freaks who post 50 times per day.
