Had three of them. Have since had Prusa and Creality and I kinda miss the good old days printing by the seat of your pants and keeping the fire extinguisher nearby

More and more. My family members have started doing it and I'm afraid.
I was gearing up for writing a long response but I can't do any better than this.
I can't go back to Google. Can't. The awfulness is so apparent after you've used Kagi for any length of time.
I will say I wish Kagi had a "shopping" mode. It does such a good job with removing ads sometimes when I'm actually looking to buy something it lets me down. But then I gnash my teeth and do a Google search. Google is always up to sell you some shit.
Seems like a "shopping" mode would be a good way to get Kagi some revenue, too. If, like it's AI features, it is completely optional and under the control of the user.
Apologies... My comment didn't come across as intended. It was supposed to be an exhasperated agreement with your statement, not a 3rd grade "no duh" moment. My exasperation echoes your own exhaustion and depleted emotional energy.
I think I was trying to channel Socko:

The number of people going about their lives as if we're not being flung head-first into a fascist dystopian hellscape breaks my brain on the daily.
This is why I shouldn't be reading Lemmy comments during work meetings. I just had to apologize for my poorly timed snort.
Ugh. Upvote.
Probably not the place for it, but I'd be good with YouTube dying. And I'm someone who pays for YT Premium (gasp!).
Something will take it's place, something better. I think about what it would take to scale to YT's size from an infrastructure standpoint and the only thing close, I think, are porn sites.
How great would it be to have HubHomez by PornHub as a YT alternative. Need to work on the branding a bit but I don't care about the platform. I'll follow the creators to StreamyFling, a collaboration of xHamster and xvideos. Same infrastructure, different content.
C'mon porn sites. Do it. Do it.
Curious... Did they compensate you for your time? At some point that's gotta cross some threshold, otherwise companies could have year-long "interview" sessions filled with 40-hour weekly interview questions and tasks.
Being honest? Fuck no. Well, except for Facebook Marketplace. I try Craigslist first but all the good shit (and stupid people... holy fucking stupid people) are on Marketplace. Which means I technically have a FB account. I did venture down the feed a while back and the amount of AI slop had me noping out faster than a crab at a seagull convention. How anyone tolerates that shit is beyond me.
Holy shit. I'm stroking right now.
