And my Axe!

Takes time and money to do that as well though, and I kinda feel like op would not have appreciated that markup

What the fuck. That sounds personal

You never heard of code Golf before? It’s usually programming challenges where the goal is to use the smallest number of source code characters possible.

Ooooh as a developer I am very grateful for this tip

I agree but I think their point was more along the lines of “Even if we have complete abundance of everything (as in, the capabilities to produce anything in abundance), capitalists will continue to create artificial lack of supply to continue profiting off of the workers. For example, look at the food abundance we have”

Bedwars gets pretty competitive for example.

The “cuda cores” you are probably thinking of are hardware implementations of the cuda software

I would guess clickbait

Okay fair enough, I’m just pointing out that your original claim that search engines are or should be irrelevant nowadays isn’t really true.

My point about maps just was that there still is a search engine under the hood, so only using maps and not google does not enable you to say that you don’t use search engines.

I agree about all that stuff you say about the fediverse but that has literally nothing to do with search engines.

And how exactly do you think google maps finds the results? If you think the search on google maps does not use a search engine, you have a lot to learn before having this discussion. Google maps is pretty much just a different interface for showing you results from the same, or at least extremely similar search engine as regular google uses

I agree its better to have several different options to pick from, monopolies are never a good thing. But that just means we don’t want google to have a monopoly. It does not mean that we want search engines to be gone.

You are mixing things up that have nothing to do with each other. How is the fact that Facebook does not interact with old forums an argument for not having search engine services like google, duvkduckgo or bing? The federation in the fediverse definitely is nice and I hope it becomes the standard, but I really don’t see how that would mean that we don’t need search engine services anymore.

I don’t think you understand how difficult it is to search the amount of data that google sifts through before showing you results

How does the fact, that websites are written a certain way to please googles search engine, not apply to the fediverse? Even if all information was posted to or accessible through the fediverse, searching something will still use some kind of search engine. So people will also eventually start doing SEO, regardless if its Google’s search engine or the fediverse’s search engine that they are optimizing for.

Yes its problematic that google has a huge effect on what people see or don’t see on the internet. But that wouldnt be any better for the fediverse. Its only better right now because you know what kind of information is on here, and you are getting a kind of pre-filtered selection of knowledge because of that. You wouldn’t even start to search for washing machine repairs on here. You wouldn’t try to look for local businesses here. If literally all of these things were here, the fediverse would need to start working on their search engine to stay fast enough to be usable because its just so much data, so many possible results. That would also result in some kind of arbitrary rule set that will make your post more likely to be shown as a result. And that will cause people to optimize their posts for the search engine.

I’m not sure how abandoning search engines and only using specific Websites is supposed to help with this

luckily I’m not using google but all this sounds very promising. I might try it out this weekend!

I never really thought to check if there is some way to export but I suppose that will be the way I’ll go about this. Thanks for your input :)

Have you used graphene os? I like the idea but I’m kind of afraid of bricking my phone and also I’m not entirely sure how I’m supposed to move over 2 factor auth entication stuff properly when I (probably?) need to wipe my phone to install graphene.

Incremental auto saves, I like it

How so?

This is beyond pedantic. You and everybody else knows exactly what they meant.
