Pay for the service or you will become the product. Kagi is more than worth it, its so nice to be able to find what I'm looking for again.

Yea, good thing none of our domestic phones spy on us.

At the very least, ai generated content needs to be clearly indicated. I have been surrounding things with the robot emoji, eg: "🤖ai content🤖", whenever sharing something machine generated, and most people seem to be understanding what it means. Ai is here to stay, and many will use it for personal gain. We need at least some basic standards around the content so we can keep track of it.

And this is why I choose beehaw. A well defined set of ethics that are actually followed is way too rare.

Sounds like you need a different bank, not an improvement to atms. None of that is normal.

That's to help you remember the names.

I save way more than I pay for Kagi because it doesn't give me sponsored results and other garbage trying to make me waste money.

I run a small company, at what size do I need to start worrying about treating people respectfully? My belief is companies shouldn't get a pass, no matter the size. Why are we ok with it happening at all at this point? It's not 1960 anymore.

You are thinking of a patent, which protects a process or way of doing something. Copyright protects creative works.

Aren't those the same group?

You are absolutely right both that this is an issue, and that it is difficult to fix. The divide keeps growing, and the more we separate our conversations the easier it is for both sides to convince us all that it's the other party that is the problem.

I went back and was looking at the early days of Fark just to see how much things had changed. What struck me the most was how mixed the community was, sure there were extremists on both sides, but there was so much more discussion happening in the middle. So many more people realizing it's the system that is the problem and neither party cares about the people.

They didn't even have to divide us, we were all so willing to do it to ourselves as soon as we could. How do we combat this? How do we talk across the lines and have real discussions again?

Reality has a liberal bias.
