    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.







  • Nah, you vastly overestimate the percentage of people of all ages that even care about anything that goes on like the protest. There are still a lot of people there, but it’s nice that most of the “good” (not sure about the right word here, I think you get my meaning though) people left, and many came here.

    IMO, Lemmy has gotten worse since a few months back, though. Many of the most irritating things of reddit have become more and more common. Misspellings, in titles especially, to a point where it’s surely done on purpose for more “interraction”, shitty spam, way to many bots, etc.


  • 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?

    This is weird to me because the vast majority of people I know that have ADHD are basically social addicts, in mostly bad ways. Everyone is different, of course, but it’s been a recurring “theme” that I get to know someone, notice that they are basically unable to spend time alone and always look social validation, and then learn that they have ADHD.



  • 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.
