I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Agreed. It makes some solid points, and it seems well-researched in the way of exposing how the search-result hotdogs are made (at least in the 2/3 or so that I read). I just couldn’t stomach the way it was framed as “censorship”.

    I’m very passionate about “words have meanings” and strongly dislike when words typically reserved to describe mountains are inappropriately used (and watered down) to describe mole hills.


  • Google’s methods are shitty and exploitative, yes, but this is far from “censoring”. And “censor” is not used just for a clickbait title - the author claims “censorship” multiple times in the article before I stopped reading for health reasons (the doctor says if I keep rolling my eyes, my ocular muscles will spasm and eject my eyeballs).

    Really wish people would stop wielding powerful words irresponsibly.
