I’m a fan of FOSS like everyone else on Lemmy, but I don’t think it’s a universal solution for everything. Some things are worth paying for and I value an efficient search experience and privacy (Kagi has no personal info on me. I pay with a crypto wallet through a third party) so Kagi is a worthwhile service for me.
I agree with you though, any good search should be good enough to dig up the opinions and bias that is out there somewhere that agrees with your own biases.
Worse than Comcast?? Like not only are they poking you with metal forks but they’ve gone through the extra effort to make sure they are all rusty too?
Phew that’s a relief.
Haven’t felt this good since that Theranos machine at Walgreens told me I didn’t have the cancer my doctors kept telling me I did.
I do a bit of both. For awhile I was relying just on algorithms but switching to primarily active management the past few years has really been invigorating. Renewed my excitement for music. When I do use algorithms to discover some new stuff it’s being fed mostly from my own curationnwhich is so much better of getting stuck in a loop where the algorithm recommends something, you select some favorites and then it recommends off those. This starts to really dull and homogonize your library after awhile.
Since you asked, in the US at least I would say Tidal’s is quite good. Not a small company, but an alternative.
Yes. Still common in US.
Decent article to send to your pals I guess. Kind of preaching to the choir here.
Was pretty dumbfounded to see this listed as a con though:
“Unlike YouTube or TikTok, the Fediverse doesn’t yet have strong monetisation tools which can keep large content creators away”
You are missing the gene that makes one an apple fanBoi apparently.
Couldn’t I at least punch it out on a card?
The problem when you have money pouring out of your orifices is you don’t really care all that much about costs.
I love roundabouts as a driver and as a pedestrian. I do admit that the double laned ones can feel like an utter cluster at times though
Pretty engrained vocabulary at this point. Lies implies intent. I would have preferred “errors”
Also, for the record, this is the most dystopian headline I’ve come across to date.
If insurance company sees this they will never believe it was from normal wear and tear!
No it’s not. You are.
Yup and guess what they are way more vocal online since they can still have an audience there and this is one of the reasons social media sites are so skewed from representing generalizable opinions. It’s a contrarian incubator.
Apparently not since most of them stuck around. Fuck Reddit.
Looks the same but actually the B is silent now.
Smarter eh? My BP already usually up when driving in traffic. You sure this isn’t just going to piss me off more because I feel like this is just going to piss me off more?
Thank you for your service
Horrendous that this isn’t just a browser setting that can be applied universally. It’s 100% opt out every time.
