Or normalizing the practice of choosing your own name if you don’t like yours. (though maybe that wouldn’t work well for younger kids)

I think the more peers there are the faster it is.

I wonder if IPFS could have a part in this? We’ll find a solution.

I use SearXNG and Ecosia.

This is a point I’ve not seen brought up. Anyone who wants to is already able to (and maybe are) using my data for all sorts of things, including training LLMs.

Every time I see this reposted I smile. It’s so well written and perfectly sums up my feelings on the internet.

Ah… the first repost I’ve seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn’t become a trend.

How different is that than buying 100% fruit juice from the supermarket? Like does it really taste different.

True. I’m definitely not their target audience. SearXNG is great bc if configured right I get great results that aren’t too cluttered. I’d rather have it hosted by someone I can trust (a friend of a friend runs the instance I use) and not have to worry about it. I’m not against payed services but I do hate subscriptions except for when they’re truly necessary.

I understand that it’s a lot of work but I’m sorry, a starting plan of $5 per month is WAY to much. I’ll just use searxng.

Of course we would have to fix that major issue with all of America. Car centric cities are simply terrible.

Kind of like the Japanese vending machines. I think those kind of thing are awesome (and practical if you need a fast bite) and would love to see them in America more.

Yet many still call themselves anarchists/communists when they are almost the opposite.
