What you’re doing is called “making shit up”. If you have a problem with their talking point then address it, but don’t make shit up about who they are or why they’re saying what they’re saying.

I’m just going to start not answering the phone unless it’s a number in my contacts. If it’s important they can leave me a message.

IIRC the content is on multiple. If there’s a single user on lemmy.world subscribing to content from somewhere.else’s foo community, then foo will be synced to lemmy.world and if somewhere.else is taken down it will remain on lemmy.world.

But someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Also, it isn’t just about servers going offline. If a single server does something bad, you can just switch to a different one and enjoy the same content you’ve been seeing.

That isn’t relevant to the comment though.

The teacher didn’t forget

I was interested in the source for 38 here:

Using mild soap on well-seasoned cast-iron cookware will not damage the seasoning.[37] This is not because modern soaps are gentler than older soaps.[38]

It was just an article that said

Many sources explain that soap is OK because today’s dish soap (like our favorite from Mrs. Meyer’s) is gentler than it used to be. That may be true, but it’s not really the point. Once your pan is well seasoned, a little dish soap isn’t going to make a difference.

Pretty sad excuse for a source. Not even sure what that’s supposed to mean. Why is that not the point?

AFAIK the issue was soap used to contain lye which would destroy the seasoning. That’s a huge difference from modern soap.

Why would they even default to talking about volume here anyway. Makes no sense.

Hmm, I never heard this misconception before, so for me it was pretty unsurprising. Cooking meat at extremely hot temperatures causes it to lose moisture.

Because I want to read it?

Edit: oh, oh I see.

What’s the name of the story?

I know, and all the options look pretty bad IMO. That also doesn’t fix UX problems.

They deleted the fact that they are a metasearch engine

The diff you linked to has the new text of

Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide

You’re being very disingenuous. Actually, no - your statement above is flat out wrong.

I tried SearXNG but the UI/UX was so shitty that I’d honestly rather pay for Kagi. Lots of people love it because it’s open source and are willing to 100% look past all UI/UX problems, which is a very common problem with open source in general.

Also, the actual quality of the results was garbage compared to Kagi.

Those people are dumb and weird.

I think the goal is they can replace cars a ton of the time for a ton of people. Take the train to work and then rent a car for the occasional road trip.

I wonder if someone could invent a new open source machine of some sort along with a tool to fix that, and that tool just happens to also be able to fix the McDonald’s ice cream machines?

I bought a custom domain and use it with Proton. If Proton shuts down or something I can easily use the same domain with another provider.

I’ve been using Linux at home for a decade now and have never needed to install a driver.

I think the negativity is more about it being used for AI than to solve any important problems with the world.
