I get what you’re saying, but in that case the google.com interface isn’t a search engine; nor the load balancers and proxies between it and the search application backend. And then, maybe those don’t count because there is some special sauce in database procedures that are the real workhorses.

Pedantry all the way down.

DDG has been superb for me for a few years now often returning results I prefer over Google. I’m really pleased with it.

There are at least two projects trying. Ladybird is one and will make a splash next year. In addition, since the Servo project was adopted by the Linux Foundation it is again under active development.

My mistake. I didn’t look far enough into it. But the accusation was made without context so I didn’t know. I’m not trying to defend him.

I don’t know. But rather than just accepting the assertion, I did a cursory search. This turned up and I perused it. I didn’t see anything damning and thought maybe somebody could clarify. I am absolutely not trying to defend anybody, but I didn’t spend much time on it. Sorry folks.

Maybe he is a bad guy. Truly, I didn’t know.

I didn’t know anything about this, but it doesn’t sound as bad with context.

edit: Removed link to a site which shouldn’t be receiving more traffic. I should have vetted it more thoroughly.

This comment under the article gave me a chuckle.

Absolutist… ish

Not sure FlyingSquid is aware of life outside Lemmy. They’re addicted to the lotus flowers here.

My iteration cycles programming are much faster. It can simply generate code faster than me, and it isn’t even close. Then I just have to evaluate and verify before starting the next OODA loop. I’ve been in this business for a long time and these language models have improved my speed. They also distill things that seem complex sometimes because I can’t break a mindset.

I consider myself a bit of a Luddite but there is no denying how they help me, all the negatives they bring along be damned. I’d love for most technology to wink out of existence, but I won’t deny its utility.

Long since been.

OMG! I got the impression people were missing what I thought was obvious, on the nose sarcasm. I was pointing out the initial whinging about “woke” people was hypocritical.

Uhhh… what are you on about?

Ok there i go for the downvotes… Where there are people with which I disagree there is always confusion about everything, if you dont think or do things like they do they start scream and protest all the time. Thats why they are getting behind, the majority of people (the silent ones; like us) are tired of the constant whining

… We are above the fray. It is the they’s and them’s causing all the problem and doing all the complaining. This post isn’t the exact whining I’m talking about I promise. We us’s are just doing the lord’s work and never complaining.

Here is another video on the topic: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ItiXffyTgQg. This individual is from the law firm working with Devin. He explains that this actually is likely to limit suits from consumers, but not for the class taking action, the creators.

I love the number of people coming out of the woodwork with “obviously” ex post facto. Like everybody could just intuit how this operated, both in the affiliate stuffing and the deal agreements. It is difficult to show the latter.

But you still need the user accounts. Which must be created and are verified by email. Then you have to generate tokens for them to call the api endpoint to add the star. I’m not saying it isn’t doable, but it would be non-negligible and GitHub is going to squash you back at some point creating all those accounts from one source.

How would the raspberry help? It is accounts needed.

That’s why there will be many more Luigi’s before anything improves.

Same person that said ad blocking was the same as piracy.

edit: People downvoting me like I disagreed with him. Just saying how he looks at it. I think it’s a bit of a false dichotomy but they are definitely similar.
