Short: No

Long: Theoretically yes, but they'd need to completely change leadership and also give up any notion of going public and instead transition to a non-profit. I dont think they can be working for the community while chasing profits. They have been trying to exploit users for profit rather than work with them.

That reddit could see me return, but at that point it'd be a very different situation and a very different reddit. I don't think we'll ever see it happen.

Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:

In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs

so I guess it's both bing and their own thing.

Think how the lettuce must have felt.

Agreed, it feels like it's a strong signal they don't take privacy seriously.

I think Qwant does too, right?

Does anyone have more information about this? I took a look but there doesn't seem to be much info in the readmes

I'm not familiar with the dev, what've they done?

You've probably found it, but in the off chance you haven't, it seems there's an issue on the nixpkgs repo for getting kbin packaged.

You said giant, but I didn't realise how big from the thumbnail. Are those people??? That's terrifying.

I'd never heard of flowtime. I'm a heavy user of pomodoro but that sounds much better.

It's always been absolutely crazy to me that a normally easy to replace part that has a known short lifespan would be moved deep in the bowels of the phone where you can't get to it.

Sverige (Sweden) (lemmy.helvetet.eu)
 

I have been wanting a swedish language community for Sweden and it seems someone has started one!

 

I used to have a VPS running a traditional OS (CentOS) that I eventually got rid of. One of the reasons I tried to migrate away from it was from the sysadmin perspective, I felt like the server once everything was configured was a bit of a snowflake.

Obviously configuring everything through nix and being able to easily rollback changes sound very compelling.

Have folks used nix as a server OS? How's your experience been?

 

I'll go first. I've used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I'm currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg's but at least I'm planting trees, so there's that.
