it occured to me that if the web is full of junk (like ai-generated seo content etc), are there search engines where you can create and share with others your own (potentially big) sets of domains to include in the search? (edit for clarification: people would cobble together their own curated subset(s) of the web and just ignore the junk)

@mntmn that's not a terrible idea, but the cynic in me thinks that it would be infiltrated and taken over by the same SEO farms that ruined Google (unless there could be some kind of web-of-trust component built in, but that would require a bit of user education)

MNT Reform Operator Handbook 2nd Edition is here! really happy with how it turned out, now printed on recycled paper by Pinguin Druck and it's also a bit chonkier than before. Props to @holo_memory for editing and partially re-illustrating this book with me, and thanks to everyone who contributed incl additional edits by @bnys and @liaizon

my hands showing and paging through a black A5 book. location outside, lots of concrete

@mntmn is the pocket reform going to get it's own handbook, or is this the book for both?

Seth Meyers: How do you address concerns about your age?

🔥President : First, you have to look at the other guy. He’s about as old as me but he can't even remember his wife's name. It's also about how old your ideas are. He wants to take us back 60 years. It's about the future

@orionkidder @GottaLaff it's death either way. Vote 3rd party, so when we burn it won't be your fault.

@GottaLaff @orionkidder I'm not fine with trump being president. I'm also not fine with Biden being president. I am powerless.

@GottaLaff @orionkidder lol democracy means I get to choose who I vote for. I choose not to vote for trump or Biden. Look, I'm democracying!

I love you @fsf but sometimes I wonder on which planet you live.

@louis @fsf there is nothing stopping them from releasing the source for all of their software. Also, there's a lot of GNU already running on that car.

@louis they would get a ton of good will among the tech community, which is something that they are sorely lacking
