As an alternative for both, try searXNG.

https://searx.space/ for instances.

https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.

BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.

Thank you

IIRC, they originally became popular because they saved characters for microblogs like Twitter. They’ve outlasted their usefulness though.

If only it worked on current generation hardware other than pixel and, iirc, fairphone.

Only some of those books focus on mages.

In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).

The Word For World is Forest by Ursula LeGuin. I hated most of the first chapter but it’s improved since then.

Yeah, nah. While copyrights are a problem as they’re currently employed, removing them would screw every content creator on the planet. Most of us don’t make much as it is, with only a few making a living from our work. Removing copyright would allow anyone to take what we produce without any compensation.

The corporations would love that.

ET, ET2, ET3, ETC

Like I told my last wife, I says, “Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it’s all in the reflexes.”

Aren’t most farms run by corporations now?

I use it, as both a reader and a publisher, but rss (in particular) could do with an update.

While it’s often attributed to Churchill, it most likely originated from Abba Eban.

America always does the right thing. After it has tried everything else.

For me, they’d be better building it up near Belmont Park. Much more space and it’s in the same area, so would get most of the benefits.

I certainly wouldn’t want to live in apartments that are right next door to the circuit as it’s currently envisioned.

Also way harder to propagate mis/disinformation to push an agenda. I personally see that as a benefit and not something I want to see changed.

Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn’t work out which instance to use. Then they couldn’t work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.

Maybe he didn’t have the money to launch a suit.

Perhaps I’m too tired to understand your meaning here (it’s late), but blockchain isn’t crypto currency. It’s a distributed ledger, and was around long before crypto. It’s not completely immutable either as the hard fork of Ethereum proved.

Blockchain could be used to record energy transactions, but the question is why would you want to? What benefit does it add?

Btw homeowners in parts of Australia are already receiving credits for the excess solar power they generate. There’s no need to manufacture a new system to enable that functionality.

Once again, I’m tired. Perhaps I’ve misunderstood your reasoning.
