Same. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. However, most top Google results are those garbage sites that are definitely not written by humans. I wonder if search will die soon as bots begin to dominate SEO (more than they already do). The search paradigm will definitely have to change.

This is the way.

I’ve had android phones since the G1. The Nexus One was pretty freaking sweet, but my favorite phone of all time was either the Nexus S or the Nexus 5x. The curved screen on the S was great and it fit into the back pocket of my pants “like a glove”.

I used to use my Blackberry to read Digg every morning in college while waiting for classes to start. It was great in its heyday, but maybe that’s just nostalgia or that I’d not experienced anything quite like it prior.

How do you know it isn’t now? (see: Dead-Internet Theory)

You’re not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.

This would be so easily bypassed that the whole concept, while technologically cool, is completely useless. Someone could apply a very subtle smoothing filter and then do whatever they wanted with it after via stable diffusion (or use the myriad of alternative methods to remove the “protection”).

I wouldn’t be trying to use or adapt it; it was more of an intellectual curiosity. I haven’t written scrapers or used Tcl, so, yeah, I would be interested to take a peek :-)

I’d like to write something similar, but I’d probably use Lisp or Python.

Are you willing to share the source for said bot?

Thanks. Is “if you add more matter it can blow up the Higgs”, because the Higgs only interacts via gravity, or something?

You use words like “squarks” and “neutralinos”, which sound very similar to quarks and neutrons. What’s the difference, if you don’t mind explaining? Also, since I know almost nothing about this, if the dark matter is weakly interacting, shouldn’t it pull itself into a really small area eventually? If there isn’t a negative repulsion between dark matter components, like there is with electrons and via the weak field, why doesn’t it all just collect itself in a giant clump?

If you’re completely new, familiarizing yourself with any guide would be beneficial. A basic search resulted in this and this, which are better than nothing, I suppose. I’d appreciate someone skilled adding their two cents, however, especially concerning common pitfalls and anonymous payment for Usenet providers.

Pro-tip: you can block communities that annoy you.

Came to say this and glad I didn’t have to.

Wow, what a cunt.

Y’all with issues ever stop to think that maybe it’s your jacked-up servers fault, and not lemmy’s?
