3·10 days agoI honestly tend to think that instead of using search engines where you already have to know what you’re looking for, it might be better to use something like lemmy where you can advertise what you made with a post in an appropriate community.
Obviously both have their place, but POSSE is the magic sauce:
“POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with your content.” ―https://indieweb.org/POSSE

“The need for discovery
Nothing you do to try to make the web a better place matters if nobody can find what you did. There are a lot of precious websites out there that deserve an audience, but instead are languishing in obscurity.
This makes alternative discovery mechanisms an urgent priority of the free and independent web, both document search as well as blog and RSS-feed discovery.”

10·10 days agoI don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money
- Some people pay for Discord and they still exploit their data.
- Some people pay for Lichess and their whole website is free of charge without tracking/advertising.
Yes, things cost money. Yes, ideally those who can pay for it should. No, something being free doesn’t legitimize unethical means to make a profit.

I love you.
The entire stock market has become a meme stock pyramid scheme. No price makes sense; it’s all glorified gambling making life on this planet worse for most living things.

Chess* enhanced my cognitive skills and consequently improved my confidence.
By using unfriendly language online?

[Verse 1] I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God They make technology high quality, complex, physiological Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good They taught me everything, just like a daddy should [Verse 2] And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and your tech I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you And the real tragedy is half of it was true [Bridge 1] But we’ve been fuckin’ mean, we’re elitist, we’re as flawed as any church And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin’ net worth I bit the apple ’cause I trusted you It tastes like Thomas Malthus Your proposal is immodest and insane And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin’ train [Chorus] I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true I wanted to be you and do what you do I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true I feel so stupid, and so used I feel so used [Verse 3] I was your baby, your firstborn, the hot girl in your comp-sci class And I was Darwin’s prep school dream bred born and raised to kick your ass I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars If you could only be what you pretend you are [Verse 4] When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go But I don’t want to see the stars if they’re just one more piece of land For us to colonize, for us to turn to sand [Bridge 2] ‘Cause we’re so fuckin’ mean, we’re so elitist, we’re as fucked as any church And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin’ net worth I bit the apple ’cause I loved you, and why would you lie? And then I realized that you’re just as naïve as I am Oh, you’re so traumatized it makes me want to cry [Chorus] You dumb *removed* I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true I wanted to be you and do what you do I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it’s true I’m so embarrassed, I feel abused [Verse 5] Well I don’t want to eat the rich, I’d have to eat my heroes first And my tuition’s paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse But I don’t need your god damn money, I don’t need jack shit from you So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true [Verse 6] Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game I took the help, I took the cash, I would’ve taken your last name So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this, it should be me And as I see it, you’re a dick [Bridge 3] So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again You promised you’d be Tesla, but you’re just another Edison ‘Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts I can’t believe you tore humanity apart With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start [Chorus] And the worst part is I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin’ do I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it’s true I’m so embarrassed, I feel abused I feel so used I feel so used Take me to the moon ‘Cause I feel so used
1·1 month agoEven though I use EndeavourOS (Arch easy installer), I won’t hesitate to vouch for Mint. I’m using its Cinnamon desktop environment (DE) and it’s the best user experience I’ve had after having used Xfce, KDE Plasma, Budgie, Gnome, et cetera.
71·1 month agoI needed the following CSS copied 51 times with a 0.05 s increment, because CSS can’t for-loop and didn’t want JavaScript:
#butterfly span:nth-child(1) { animation-delay: 0s; }I know I could’ve just for-looped it somewhere else and copy-paste the output, but I was curious if DeepSeek could do it.
6·1 month agoI like the sociable aspect of webrings, literally paying it forward and backward to two arbitrary websites on your own website. However, I don’t see how it helps searching for and finding a specific website as one would have to traverse the whole ring. A search engine incorporating the whole ring resolves this though.
As for OP’s specific question, synced bookmarks go a long way. I’ve also got quick terminal commands so I can immediately search on a website without having to open the browser and going to that website first.
A Secret Web by Benjamin Hollon [found on lobste.rs] is a great read; there I discovered nifty little search engines that specifically search the Small Web, such as Marginalia Search.
If only The Big Short ended like this. Well done Brazil!
“People should go into smoking areas just to tell people to stop smoking.”
People will find their way out once the decent non-smoker content dries out and Lemmy links become shared more.
Even as an EndeavourOS user, I concur: Mint. Why? Cinnamon is hands down the best desktop environment. Beginner friendly default without blasting features in one’s face with configs all over the place, yet intuitively customizable for experienced Linux users.
This means she will be able to freely use it without your help, but you will be able to easily fine tune it to her preferences as well.
