Its a silver lining of AI that you can easily tell whos a big baby idiot and whos actually worth engaging with.

Its centralized, but they (forgejo, the underlying software) are building on standards wherever possible so it should be easy enough to move things around. I also don’t really see them breaking bad anytime soon, at some point you have stop worrying and start to build shit.

There is https://openwebsearch.eu/ which might kickstart things a bit and many do not know about, but you point still stands.

Its a eu funded effort to have a open index others could use and build upon. Dashboard and Crawling Status: https://openwebindex.eu/ Experimental Search Engine: https://ourrs.eu/

Gen Z here, also do not have any subscriptions except for a library card which is only 12 € a year (and also my server and domains and rent and electricity and internet). There are just so many movies and games to be watched and played I don’t see myself running empty anytime soon. Often times I visit there without a specific thing to rent and go out with 5 movies to watch, they actually curate the shelf fairly well and have more interesting/new things out for display. For newer releases I do go to the movies but my library does get a copy once there is a physical copy you just have to wait a bit until its your turn.

right before mother’s day as well, smh.

Whoa, thank you! I did not know about this. :)

to anybody reading this, could you please be so kind and reply to my comment if the question is answered?
dont think we have @remindme on here. :)

Also use LibreTube on Android with the same benefits. I just wish all those alternatives Frontends would have a sync service of some sorts. Started of by using Invidious but it its almost unusable nowadays similar to Piped but it also has an independent Subscriptions/Playlists with a simple API it would be cool for those local first apps would integrate into that or maybe something even more independent like a RSS Service to manage subscriptions (feeds do really have to work for that)

I do get the desire to have something more sovereign maybe even decentralised, but this is some real smooth brain behaviour. I even think they are following some sort of agenda, and just really do not know better.

Whoa, I went from "Hmm. We already have meta search engine aggregator at home. Do we really need a new " to “Whoa, that is pretty! Ughh… but is that AI that im seeing?! loads Wowee that is just a snippet from Wikipedia and various other places!!! It also shows me where the results are coming from. This is really cool!”

I like it alot and will be trying it out. I like that it is more transparent where results are coming from compared to DDG.

Just no a fan of the name, but its just the project it looks like its white label enough to make your own “CI”. And I would definitely not have come up with a better one.

Also like your take on AI, I have a similar stance, very sensible.

I was just getting home picking up my new second hand Pixel 3a to install PostmarketOS on. Wish me luck :)

Oh wait, i forgot i was stupid 😭

I think the amount would go down though if we all poisen our data, making it useless. :thinking_face:

Don’t wanna see you slacking doing low-value searches! Brb writing a a script generating some high-level net traffic, so they waste more money on me.

This chart shows the problem fairly well. (Even if the scale is set to make a point)

Forced to use GitHub Professional and lost count how often GitHub is just standing in my way with things not responding, starting often times without any error message.

Oh wow, you just blew my mind. I am in fact thinking about littering! I was a bit suspicious about me not realizing the true meaning sooner, but did not look into it further. This makes a lot more sense now, thank you for clearing this up. :)

TIL that “loitering” does not mean leaving garbage in public spaces. Ive heard the term but never expected it to mean standing around idle, this is so stupid.

Hmmm… 🤔

(I know alternatives, especially “truly” European are pretty much not existent, those 8 europeans still could’ve chosen one that’s respects their data a bit more than Google does if they don’t trust them I feel like)

Your welcome :) They do have direct links you can import there I think. Only did that with cmus myself though. Main station: https://bytefm.stream39.radiohost.de/bytefm-mainhq_mp3-320 and they also have an alternative station which only runs music, but im not sure what schedule it is following: https://bytefm.stream39.radiohost.de/bytefm-nurmusikhq_mp3-192

These are sadly more shows than stations which means you have to keep in mind when a show or its rerun is playing and also that their sometimes a show playing you really do not vibe with. I do not think they have comparable show to “Groove Salad” and their rather verbose show naming does not help there.

Groove Crates goes a little into the same direction, but the spectrum and genres they are playing is a lot wider and has a lot more funk, soul featured.
