Oh man, based on the title i was hoping there was a fix/mod to stop the slow-down issues when too many sprites are on the screen…
Sounds like a cool breakthrough, nonetheless

¿Porque no los dos? 💈
Well isn’t that great, mr. moneybags

Yes I’m making a stupid joke bc it’s a paid search engine, something i never would have imagined would be a thing. Now I’m going to price it and perhaps finally pull the trigger on an acct there because fuck google, fuck bing, and fuck all these sites being “wrappers” of them. I come from the dial-up days when lycos, webcrawler, altavista, yahoo–hard searches that would separate the men from the boys. Now we just get this “A.I.” bullshit instead and it falls apart under its own weight. Excuse me while i wave my cane at the sun ☀️
Edit: so it turns out you can get 100 free searches on their site here: https://kagi.com/onboarding?p=choose_plan
Otherwise, it’s $5/month for 300 searches, $10/mo for unlimited, and $25/mo for their “ultimate” exclusive experience…whatever that may be. I’m gonna try the freebies and see what happens. I’m still on the fence about paying for search, but I’m really tired of bs coming from these companies leading to things like we’re experiencing today
↖️This is the real life pro-tip right here
The next 1/6 insurrection in 2025 will consist of hundreds of diapered men smearing the walls with shit. That dude that smeared his shit on the wall at the inaugural insurrection of '20 is gonna think he started a ‘movement’
I thought that system was the shit back in the day. We only had a handful of games for it including Pengo, Vanguard, and Ms Pac Man…
I think there’s a couple things at play:
You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely–
People often will just use what’s there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns… but many people simply aren’t and/or don’t care enough to do anything about it.
We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps… I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don’t have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).
I 100% agree with your statements–just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps…
You wouldn’t download an island…?!
There are times I’ve worried about not having kids, but comments like this help me feel good about my decision. Why would I want to put someone I love through this? (Or anyone, for that matter)
Agreed—we won’t be the first to deal with the fallout from all this
I dunno, that guy sure looked like a well-regulated militia (งツ)ว
Nice!! I do remember correctly, then. That was the first time i saw clear root beer…I was intrigued! It was very tasty, that much i definitely remember!
I remember Snapple having a fairly impressive variety of flavors back in the day… Nothing like it is today…and a bit later, all those caps with the free subscription to WebTV lol
Was the root beer clear?
You read my mind 👏
I’m just gonna go ahead and believe this without further research, that’s too good an explanation to let go of, lol
Agree 100%–i mean who are you gonna fine, the bot? The company that sold you the bot? This is a simple case of garbage in, garbage out–if they set it up properly and vetted its operation, they wouldn’t be trying to make such preposterous objections. I’m glad this went to court where it was definitively shut down.
Fuck Canada Air. The guy already lost a loved one, now they wanna drag him through all this over a pittance? To me, this is the corporate mindset–going to absolutely any length necessary to hoover up more money, even the smallest of scraps.
I went ahead and read it anyway. I actually had to Google the last word of the article: natch. It’s slang for “naturally”. We’re living in interesting times. Glad the guy got compensated after going through that ordeal.
Will do!! Thanks for the suggestions
