  • Any interested in making this a federated search?

    I've been toying with the idea of a web-ring style search engine where it uses the fediverse's post and sub system so that you can subscribe to "indexers" that are made by other users (or even mastodon users themselves) so that you can have highly targeted search engine systems. So, for example, you could make multiple search "scopes" and each of those scopes would follow specific other "sources" and search from them. Likewise, users could provide links and descriptions to add new entries to each scope which would, in essense, work like a fediverse post and then be distributed to all other interested parties.

    I haven't done a lick of implementation yet, but thought I'd share the idea here as I consider doing this more and more every day. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is images, because ideally that would be a special type of scope view.

  • You're right, but let's not forget that the facebook phone is really popular and the meta glasses definitely don't look like nerd emoji. 🤓

  • This was always a catch and kill project.

  • I don't think we want 50% stake, where things are going. This sounds like we'll end up bailing them out one way or another...

  • It's crazy how normalized gambling became the last 10 or so years.

    It used to be really hard to gamble legally. Now it's hard to find someone not pushing "legal gambling" everywhere. Meanwhile, we still can't smoke weed in some parts of the world? What?

  • One step away from being relocated to their actual destination: the bin.

  • Nvidia is only begging because they didn't realise that putting out a free product that essentially makes most work redundant would bite them in the ass as it would mean less people able to buy their products.

    Oh, and because they're worried about what happens when they start charging the companies who fired everyone the real price of the AI service they're currently providing for free.

  • I thought I was having a stroke during the 2024 debate. It went that badly.

  • Where do people who use kobo readers buy their ebooks? Is there a reliable non Amazon e-reader shop that sells from free books? (Besides humble store)

  • What AI profits?

  • Shit like this will continue to happen until governments start enforcing interoperable open standards and resume enforcing antitrust laws, which were, in practice, suspended for a long time, for whatever reason.

    Which will never happen if we keep ending up with republicans every 4 years. Sad state of affairs, but technology will remain corporate as long as people are awful putting their money where their mouth is (or time, in the case of social web)

  • Electricity production vs electricity waste, the choice is pretty obvious honestly.

    Ignoring the fact that I also don't think I could trust any company in 2026 to maintain a nuclear power plant well, it feels like we've actually gone backwards in that front specifically.

  • No, believe it or not it used to be Netflix because it was so high in the stock market value.

  • By design, too.

  • Ah I've been noticing some weird youtube behavior lately. This probably explains it.

    Crazy something like this passes a company as large as Google's eyes.

  • I was thinking this as well. You would have thought they took the "Jeeves" as an agent name.

  • I never worried about this until now. Thanks comic artist!

  • I wonder what this will mean for Apple and whether this is an ominous foreshadowing of the ongoing hardware crisis. It seems to me like this would only be happening if the Macbook Neo has a difficult coming year or two down the line and he's taking the fall preemptively. Either that or perhaps undisclosed health issues.

    Lol ok
