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.

Assets don’t have to have be in on it intentionally. A tank is an asset. A forest at the border can be an asset. But to be an agent takes volition and consensual involvement.

This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an “agent” or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an “asset” to them.

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

Maybe even fifth and a half.

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

This same infighting comment in every single thread.

pop-up hate experience

I hate that it’s a thing, but I love the nomenclature.

Well, that precludes being a loyalist, doesn’t it? So clearly not the group to which I was referring. No need to be reductive as I’m not claiming a binary worldview.

No party loyalist will ever admit the party is in any way culpable for its own losses.

There are very few people I feel are on the right side of all this. She is not the enemy. There are no magic bullets. Short of having a majority of elected officials like her, there is only one solution and we all know and fear what it is.

This would have made sense, I suppose, had you posted it on the article about cybertruck sales slowing, but it just seems nonsequitur here.

That may be, but it still feels unrelated to the crash. PAT25 requested and received visual separation. The controller even doubled checked by asking if they had the CRJ. That is normal in the airspace from the control side, unless I’m missing something.

I actually have no problem with dams being controlled as federal resources by the Army Corps or Engineers. Rarely does a waterway or its water table effects start and end in one state. My problem is that we have evil dipshits at the helm.
