  • Because reading articles is hard, better to blindly trust a headline and summary comment. People on Lemmy wouldn't lie to me, would they?

  • Jobs in journalism have been in decline for decades, the rise of AI is just another nail in the coffin of quality journalism. Hard to prove fault, but it's not helping.

  • AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking

  • How many websites do you browse with links to truly illegal content?

    If you live in a country with truly abysmal human rights, definitely don't bother with this plugin, but in most cases you should be fine on the illegal side.

    Even if somehow the website you're browsing has some super sketchy ad to buyillegaldrugshere.com or whatever, to get in trouble with the law in most civilized places you'd have to actually buy the illegal drugs, not just ping the illegal drugs IP. Especially since you can pretty easily prove to a judge that your system fetches ad links automatically and without further engagement.

    Not saying it can't happen, just that it's really unlikely you would be served an ad for something so illegal just clicking on it is a liability. The literally only case I can think of coming close is CSAM, but even then, if you're regularly browsing websites that advertise CSAM, maybe find other websites to occupy your time? And I can just about guarantee any website serving CSAM ads is already doing illegal shit, so you should probably be more worried about that than an ad-click...

  • I feel it's more of a mix. Elon is in charge of breaking the government with reckless abandon, Stephen is in charge of weaponizing what's left of the government against minorities.

  • The basics of the Fediverse. Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Reddit, ... vs the Fediverse. What do you think?

  • Certain other content crosses boarders. Mastadon especially. Whenever you see people replying to messages and it starts with some sort of @user@lemmy.verse tagging, you're probably eavesdropping on a Mastadon thread and you don't even know it.

  • When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?

  • Yes, it absolutely can, it's super easy! Just swap your Minecraft .jar with Paper and it'll do the rest. It's a tiny bit harder to go back, but only marginally.

    Out of the box, aside from huge performance benefits, Paper is virtually indistinguishable from vanilla, but it also opens the door to a whole world of easy-to-use server-side plugins.

    Edit: (you should still make a backup before swapping, just in case)

  • CPU intensive servers like Minecraft are where you start to run into problems with older hardware. If it’s just you on there, a 10 year old CPU is fine, but if you’ve got a few friends, the server may start to struggle to keep up.

    Not sure how recently you ran this, or what all your were running, but in the past couple of years Paper has hit some pretty major milestones in unlocking threaded processing. Barring some sort of spammy 0-tick redstone nonsense or over the top plugins, I'd wager a Raspberry Pi 4 could handle up to about 5 or 6 friends without seeing any TPS dips. Its really remarkable how far they've pushed performance recently.

    Like an external USB drive? Absolutely.

  • Guessing Edge by default sent you to Bing, no surprise the DDG results look similar, given that they use Bing under he hood. They shuffle rankings slightly, but it's the same index.

  • There's not really a strong player in the open source search space.

    Mwmbl exists, but per their own readme:

    The quality is a long way's off from matching the commercial engines at the moment

    Kagi provides the source code for many of their services, but is not truly open source, especially because at its core, it relies on applying its own rankings to other's indexes.

    That said, search is a space where the old adage rings true:

    If you're not paying for it; you are the product!

    For what it's worth, I find value in my Kagi subscription.
