Oh hacking a 2ds was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. For starters, all 3ds to gbc games run natively, and that's already a lot more games I could play in a lifetime. Then i can emulate almost any retro console there and it's dead easy to find replacement batteries and such. 0 bullshit needed. Not an ad in sight.

I'm luckily young enough i haven't finished my list of actually good "old" media, so yeah, seven seas all the way

If they require at least a 71yo, assuming the person started working at 16 and has dedicated their entire life to develop software without ever touching management positions, ... At what age does people retire in that country??

I have (too many) siblings both older and younger and, at least in my family's experience, sometimes parents need to see this in action before realizing their behavior/parenting isn't right.

Take my family as an example, I've been years when i was a teenager complaining about how they treated me and my nearest sisters, which failed miserably as they didn't change and we ended up pretty fucked up mentally and one of them migrated and doesn't want to come back even to the same country. Some years later, I tried basically parenting my 2 youngest brothers, but respecting certain topics where my (religious) parents are a bit too sensitive. The first one has been the most peaceful teenage man in our family by far, and my parents noticed how i was approaching him (something similar to OP, but pre-shut in? Basically tried giving him an ally when possible). They changed their ways only after seeing their previous failures and a more healthy result.

... Tho it's worth nothing they have 1 child left to raise and most people doesn't have enough kids to have a full damn hero's journey about parenting lol

That's why I said the post didn't feel appropriate to me, dragging this topic only makes it worse for everyone (even the poor ewoks), then some people started to misinterpret (some in clear bad faith) my statement and bring more hate 🙃

I'm tired of the internet, even asking for peace brings controversy nowadays...

It would be interesting tho to use a LLM to spot AI/SEO crap and add whole domains to a search blacklist. In that case we wouldn't need AI to do the actual search, and this could easily just be a database for end users by the SE's side (kinda like explicit content filters).

I'd call that option "Bullspam filter" and leave it on "moderate" by default.

Not true because we're getting the same experience whether we pay or not. The same kinda goes for google, they have other services you could pay to support them (please don't), and it won't make the search engine better. Big difference is one of them is actually free (full meaning of the word) and the other one is just usable without paying.

You're still using a free platform to say good free software is not a thing tho, kinda weird.

Doesn't mean the statement is less true, the enshitification of google is a symptom, the disease is the internet as a whole. Google and LLMs screwing the web, M$ screwing windows, Apple's existence by itself, Meta monopolizing and screwing social media, and don't get me started with streaming platforms and other media industries are all symtoms.

Considering all of that, yes, the internet enshitification is very real.

If you're going through that route, SearX beats everything and it's not even close. It's self hosted and takes search results from any engine you check in a config, different config for search categories, ... Rn I'm mostly getting results from brave, qwant, and duckduck. Gotta acknowledge the bing copilot tho, it's pretty decent, but requires to use edge or bing app in android, so i only use it when I'm lazy or I'm searching for something too obscure for searx.

A version with different distros would be nice. I want to see blood here.
