Epstein could have easily survived to trial if the then president had a vested interest in his survival instead of in his death.

barsquid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom LocationEnglish21·8 months agoApparently there is a button on the keyboard, so you get to buy an Apple keyboard (I guess that is bundled?) and don’t get to use your own keyboard with it.

I’ve been meaning to try SearXNG, actually, thank you for the reminder. Is there a good instance you’d recommend to check it out? Otherwise I’ll just test it on one of the ones linked from their repo.
You do need an advanced tool to navigate the web now. It takes a lot of effort to filter trash from searches thanks to Google making every result into slop listicle. And even worse now they are AI slop listicles.

Oh, yikes, that does seem poorly-designed for the majority of use cases. Thank you for taking the time to write that up and recommend alternatives, I really appreciate understanding it better.
