A little disappointed that the ‘solution’ requires so much heavy processing that it basically becomes almost as bad as the ‘problem’, but I guess that’s par for the course these days.

miguel@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•Yesterday Trump Learned That Capital Is in Charge4·4 days agoI think even UK common law has something to say about that, some kind of Magna Carta? We regressed right back to pre-constitutional monarchy, do not pass go.
miguel@fedia.ioto politics @lemmy.world•Yesterday Trump Learned That Capital Is in Charge50·4 days agoDude literally pointed to his friends who made a killing on it, and posted “buy” info on his socials before reversing.
If we had any kind of system of laws, that’d be jail time.
miguel@fedia.ioOPto CD Collectors@lemmy.sdf.org•Time for some big operatic themed metal. Been a doozy of a week.2·5 days agoAnyone else feel like their head is spinning from all the craziness right now? It’s a bit much tbh.

I believe it uses a combo of bing and google with anonymizers, yes. I’ve just started poking around there due to waterfox mobile using it by default.
I’ve had really good success with https://www.qwant.com/ and with https://www.startpage.com/

miguel@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your last-minute purchases before tariff hell begins?3·7 days agoThat’s a good suggestion, and I will look
miguel@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your last-minute purchases before tariff hell begins?7·7 days agoI feel that. I’m currently using a laptop from like 2017 (with a 1050) and honestly… if it dies, I’m pretty well hosed.

miguel@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your last-minute purchases before tariff hell begins?42·7 days agoI can’t afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.
I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I’ll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.
What’s sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.
F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

I like that they include this big book of photos and lyrics in the center.2·8 days agoWhen I saw them on tour with Slayer, there were no real lines for their shirts at the start, but by the end of the show they were almost entirely sold out. They made a lot of fans that day.

miguel@fedia.ioto News@lemmy.world•Target can’t get its footing after its DEI program demise and a 40-day boycott against the retailer. Foot traffic at stores is down for the eighth consecutive week17·11 days agoTBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They’re more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.
Can’t boycott what I already wasn’t using.
miguel@fedia.ioto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Wikipedia is struggling with voracious AI bot crawlers10·13 days agoWhy would an AI company hire someone when they can just tell an ai prompt to write a script to download wikipedia, and run it without even checking?
Can’t think of any times when “undesireables” have been sent to prisons/gulags in other countries. Nope. Nothing springs to mind…
