BitSearch still works

32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

Nowadays you need like 32 Gigabytes lol

Hangouts 2013-2022 (10-ish years)

Google’s first text, voice, video communication service.

That’s not true, does anybody remember Google Talk?

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen

Mullvad VPN offers Brave Search as a backend in their Leta search engine proxy. That way you don’t have to access Brave directly.

I currently really enjoy self-hosted Perplexica (a FOSS alternative to the Perplexity AI search engine), which uses SearXNG as a meta-crawler, and Ollama for local AI integration. I’m very happy with it, but it requires a fairly powerful server (not a Raspberry Pi or another SBC, the only one that might work is the Nvidia Jetson or whatever it’s called, but I haven’t tried that yet).

Mastodon would require a separate login.

Ok I just assumed that most people on Lemmy would also have a Mastodon account, apparently that’s not really the case?

I’m desperately waiting for Lemmy to add support for federated polls

Do you use the Stock OS, or a custom ROM?

Yes, GrapheneOS is always very quick to push out new updates.

I think all the crypto scams, all the shitcoins, NFTs and other blockchain bullshit were much worse. At least AI companies usually don’t require you to give them large sums of money, they’re only after your data and absolutely fuck the environment by wasting absurd amounts of power, but they don’t try to take away your life savings

No shit

not to mention Chinese OEMs which can recharge more than twice as fast

Which absolutely fries your battery. That’s one of the reasons Chinese phones would typically have horrible battery life, were it not for their stupid and aggressive “battery savers” and process killers that prevent basically anything from running in the background, which makes some tasks completely unfeasible/impossible on these devices. You want to receive push notifications outside of Google Play/FCM? Too bad, your app is gonna get killed after like 2 minutes of background usage. You want to sync your files/photos/contacts/calender/anything with your self-hosted server? Too bad, you can’t do that, because some Chinese manufacturer wants to market their phone with some crazy 120W charging and doesn’t give a fuck about the consequences. There’s a reason why Apple has stuck to 5W charging for so many years. And it’s not because they couldn’t figure out how to make it faster…

To be fair, there’s always been backspace feature, it’s just a swipe gesture, not a dedicated button

That’s been Microsoft’s slogan for decades

“go kill yourself”

“Have a nice life.”

Seems a little contradictory to me

Only for some apps

dbzer0 is anarchist, definitely not libertarian

dbzer0 is another one. It’s an anarchist instance to be precise. @AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee

If you think this is a YouTube frontend, it’s not. It’s a different video streaming platform called Odysee (technically the platform is called LBRY, but Odysee is the main frontend for it)
