You’re accusing Cory Doctorow, the guy who invented the phrase “enshittification”, of making a blog post that’s really an advert…? Really???

Have a read on the trouble the 2600 guys have been having sending out emails for the next HOPE conference - the junk filter is also great at filtering out topics it deems unsuitable.
How do you provide evidence you didn’t use something???
Pronounced “shitter”
Fingers crossed on Larian getting a licence for Traveller…
Do we have a Fediverse equivalent of Facebook yet…?
Nice ad hominem…
He was also creative director for the original Ultima Online game and Star Wars Galaxies… both awesome and innovative MMOs at the time…
I mean I guess it could happen… so I guess why trust anyone? May as well just switch it all off!
This article is a pretty good summary of why, by Google’s own words, an ad driven search experience will be rubbish:

Not only does Kagi produce great search results, as good as “old Google” IMO, its business model means the above cannot (or at least, shouldn’t) happen. If it ever changed its model to include ads etc it would collapse so fast.
So for me, unlike the other poster, I’d recommend it to everyone who’s finding the existing search engines are rubbish and full of useless Etsy and SEO etc links.
Playing devil’s advocate, I’d argue the in the wild community testing is more likely to uncover an edge case that the formal testing didn’t envisage…? 🤷🏻♂️
The idea is it gives enough time for competition to establish and then everyone completes on an even footing without fettering the original monopoly after it’s no longer a monopoly in that space… arguably it worked as Chrome took over but all that’s happened it it made a new monopoly 🤷🏻♂️
And what happens if they’re a pilot as well???
Market cap of Nintendo - 50 billion Market cap of Microsoft - 2.4 trillion
Unless I’ve missed something I don’t see how this makes WhatsApp worse…? Just don’t sign up to the people’s channels if you don’t want to 🤷🏻♂️
Looking forward to my second playthrough… I opted to kill Lae’zel in the first scene you find her after the crash rather than rescuing her, yet to meet anyone else who has done that so wondering what I’m missing out on 😂
From what he’s said he’s not abandoning it but I guess it won’t advance much or as quickly… he’s only just said so we don’t really know if and how it’ll impact things
Same here, currently using Avelon and pretty happy with it… Voyager dev recently announced he’ll be working on it less going forward which may or may not be an issue 🤷🏻♂️
Both definitely feel like using “Apollo for Lemmy” though 👍
I still think a Usenet like service would be brilliant and it’s a shame there isn’t a Lemmy-like service that has that.
To clarify, what I mean is decentralised infrastructure (you go onto the news server you want) with shared content (ie the same was that every Usenet post ends up on every Usenet server, if that server carries that newsgroup) - it gives all the advantages of federalisation (don’t like your server, just go to another, you lose little or nothing) without the disadvantages of unintuitive discovery and fragmentation.
They claim that they don’t link/save your search history so although they have your details for payment, technically it’s not linked. If they aren’t lying…
