Steps forward are few and far between these days, I’ll take what I can get.

Give my best to Putin.

Okay but I think you can read between the lines that salt wasn’t the chemical that anyone was talking about here.

I don’t think salt is added to most meat before being sold to the customer. I think you are being disengenuous.

In general I agree. But the question is whether you can actually produce the product without the ammonia and chemicals.

It’s peanuts but better than nothing.

At the time it was basically Reddit for stupid people. All of those people moving to Reddit was the beginning of Reddit’s long slow decline.

And monetized it and completely mismanaged it to shit to the point the whole user base migrated to Reddit.

Great blast from the past, I had completely forgotten about these guys, haven’t heard them for 30+ years!

Windguardium levioso!

Of course. Gotta study up on my gang signs.

That’s not an experience I’m willing to pay for in its current form. But I could definitely see a path for it to become one, thanks for putting it on my radar.

bbod? Wood?

I’m okay except for the walled garden part. I get referred to articles in many ways, none of them in Apple News. If I can ever log into the actual publications sites with my Apple ID and get the article, then I’m on.

Yeah that’s what I used for the first 6 months to try it out.

Wow those were no joke. Anyone know what the targets were?

The new thing will just be fascists making the run up to another world war. The old is new again.

Im not strong enough to push a man heavy enough to “gum up a trolley” any way.

I used Kagi for a few months when other engines failed. It did come through a few times. But paying $5 a month to get one extra good search result per month was a hard sell for me. If they offered a much much smaller package of lime 20-50 searches per month or just pay as you go, I’d definitely be in.

I’d say their decision making was mostly forced by their drop in ad revenue and subscriptions forced by the internet.

Though I do wish that someone would make a Spotify for news so that I could pay once and get access to all of them and at least give them 10 cents per article or something, because I will never pay the subscription cost any are asking.

As much as I’d like to support them, the price to utility ratio is way the fuck off at the prices they ask now.
