Testing what they can get away with is my guess.

I just started using this one today: https://docs.searxng.org/ and it did a great job for what i needed. I never heard of it before, but found the link on an old Lemmy post.
I don’t know how it would work for other people with other needs, but i needed to find graphic designers to help me with a project. DuckDuckGo kept giving me hundreds of results from a handful of big companies, but i wanted small companies and individuals. Found exactly what i needed on the first search using this engine.
More likely because researchers, professors, and even grad students are desperate to publish because their jobs require it in the new research-for-profit model of universities and colleges, so they work too quickly and take shortcuts to make their publishing quotas and deadlines.
Good point. Sleepwalking into authoritarianism doesn’t seem difficult these days.
Yeah i agree. For what it’s worth, here are 2 ways i use to bypass captchas: Use this site: https://archive.fo/ Use a vpn and set the server site to a location that nixes the captchas (Denmark, Taiwan, etc.)
True. I once considered subscribing, some years ago, but customer reviews of OST convinced me not to. Looks like i made the right decision.
These “super-app” fantasies always ignore the fact that WeChat is ubiquitous in China because the Chinese government practically requires everyone to have it. How exactly is that supposed to be replicated in a non-authoritarian society?
Any of thousands of people can say this but i don’t see it in the comments below so: I’ve been using a Linux Mint / Windows dual boot system for over 10 years and love it. I think a lot of people see Linux as highly technical, but versions like Mint and Ubuntu are more carefree than Windows nowadays.

I thought i pasted the archived version but the link goes to the original. weird. anyway, here’s the archived version
And archive: https://archive.fo/
Is it about helping out workers any more? Or is about companies - often big, profitable companies - not paying their employees a livable wage and pressuring customers to come to the rescue? At the very least, the situation is so confusing now that it’s impossible to tell whether a tip is a legitimate thing to do, or whether it’s giving in to corporate greed and cynicism.
Just to clarify, I worked in food service as a tipped employee from age 15 into my late 20s. I totally get it, and I always tip waiters, taxi drivers, and other traditionally-tipped employees. But I don’t know what to do when everybody expects a tip. And when corporate money-lords add their voices to pressure me, it just sounds too cynical.

It’s called “responsive design” i think. I played around with it a bit when learning html years ago. You can get free website templates that have this cooked in - like, you don’t need to code anything. Seems easy to do and pretty much an industry standard now. Pretty weird that reddit would choose a trashy option instead.
Oh sure, these people get a couple of lonely hearts to have lunch or dinner together a few times, maybe go out to a movie or a show, and then what? Arranged marriages? – oh wait. That’s “data” engineer … never mind.
And rational (not emotion/greed-driven), mature (not emotion-driven), responsible (not emotion/greed-driven), adult (not emotion-driven) attitude towards problems. Thanks for your hard work.
Money and Macro has an excellent video clarifying this.
I can’t reach it on my Windows 11 computer when the vpn is turned on, but can reach it using Windows when the vpn is turned off (i tried servers in Europe, Americas, Asia).
But on my linux computer i can reach it with the vpn on or off (same vpn company, login, servers). So … weird.
For some reason i don’t know ipleak.net won’t load for me. These work too though: https://ipleak.org/, https://browserleaks.com/ip.
