    My main problem with DDG is that it doesn’t show the dates of results. A lot of the time, I need to know that to get the information I need. I used it for a couple of years, but I was constantly forced to go back to Google or Bing to get the information I needed.

    I found Kagi earlier this year and tried it out, and it’s as close to perfect as you can get, IMO. I really can’t recommend it enough. It’s like being back to “the before times” when Google was king, with the addition of many other features. It’s a paid service, and I’m more than happy to do so for something like this. No tracking, a ton of features, very well designed, and results that never fail. I’ve shared my account with family and friends, and everyone has mentioned how good it is after trying it.

    Sorry if it feels like I’m a shill for it, I’m just super happy with it and really feel like everyone deserves to know about it.





  • As others have pointed out, the original article is from 2012, and even with similar rulings in EU countries more recently, it will take years before we see any result of this.

    But I think the ultimate answer to your question here is: yes, that would become a thing.

    But there is so much to this that makes it hard to predict how good it would be. Who decides the price? What rules will there be on when and how you can resell?










  • Mega

    I pay for it anyway since I was lucky enough to get a few accounts on a private forum where everything is shared via mega, it’s very active and a great community. Only a few times I haven’t found something I was looking for there, and that was quickly solved by posting a request. (The only way to join is to get personally invited. And no, I won’t use my invites for randoms, don’t ask).

    Haven’t used torrents for close to a decade now, it’s nice to have basically anything easily findable with direct download from mega.


  • I see it pretty often. But most of the time, if an “AMPutator” bot doesn’t reply, someone usually mentions it and says to stop sharing AMP links and provides links to information about it. It’s good to see, but most people still aren’t aware of it, and most of those people wouldn’t care much. We all need to keep a lookout and always be ready to inform and teach others about it. It’s good to have articles about how AMP is bad for everyone (except google) saved so we can quickly share them every time we see someone share an AMP link.



  • Eh, what “meme” actually means and what it currently means in popular culture are two different things. People never understood what it really means, but the most commonly used meaning of it is constantly changing.

    The word itself was coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976. But it wasn’t a commonly used term until around 2005, even then it was used exclusively for specific things and few people knew its actual meaning. But memes in their literal sense have almost always been a thing, and they’re common among many species.

    How has no one mentioned the randomly capitalized words, space before commas, and just general shittyness of grammar? I find it hard to believe someone would write like that without consciously making it as bad as possible just so people would comment on it. And I’m in just as much disbelief that no one has said anything about it.
