I use 30–40 searches per day, and I almost never need to bang to google. When I do bang to google, I consistently find worse result.
It is indeed expensive compare to most of the other donations/subscription I have, but there is really no alternative to this experience.
I use nebula, lemmy, mastodon, kagi, jellyfin, signal, thunderbird, fedora, tutanota, and so on. My weekly subscription/donation bill is probably around $50, which is just the price of 2 LLM subscription, so honestly, not that much considering how expensive everything is nowadays. But, oh boy, let me tell you, my digital world is quiet: there is nothing in my face pushing AI or ads, and I get every update I need, and can just use my tools and gets things done. All of them cost money/donation, but I would rather spend money to save time and my mental health now…


I don’t think it is terribly expensive, a lot of (somewhat large) domain specific academic instances are maintained by grad students with donation from academics. As far as I know, many of them are in good financial standing.


There are several non-profit had their own instance, like ACM. I recall Mozilla used to do, but I am not sure if they still does.


Then this post should interest you: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/112419076551165888 :)
And my absolute favorite is @frenchtoast@better.boston


BTW, there is a very strong Boston/Cambridge/Somerville community on mastodon, there is a entire instance for it: https://better.boston/explore
Mayor Wu is on there @wutrain@better.boston but not posting much these days.
There are also many people on other instances, like transport or OSS instance, as many prominent OSS contributor lives in that area.


I see you don’t run electron app in flatpaks :)


Usually I would agree with you, but in this context, I am fairly sure China bans more book than the U.S.


Gnome has parental control https://help.gnome.org/gnome-help/parental-controls.html
But it has some serious limitations: for example, you cannot block individual website reliably. Parents can consider piholes, but DNS sink hole on local network are often trivial to bypass.


Nearing absolute zero even.


That is not the case, exam evaluates learning outcome. If the student satisfies the learning outcome in the end, I don’t care how they did it.
I am only here to help the student acheive as much as they can, then assigning a score that reflects their achievements.
That is the important part: it is only a letter, but I would like that letter should reflect skills, instead of total time spent, or how they choose to learn and allocate their time. I don’t want student to waste their precious time when they can achieve the required outcome without doing homework and/or attending classes.


I personally feel it is exactly the sprit of community is designed for, no? This community explicitly welcome potentially stupid question in the hope that good discussions can arise from it.
I agree that this question is indeed werid and perhaps even deserves to be called “stupid question”, but I feel this is what this community is welcoming, no?


Sorry, but why? Are they breaking any rules?


poorer people generally tend to be less attractive than rich people due to lack of access to cosmetic care.
Sorry, but why is every single rich old person I see on TV literally looks like goul. .


Unlike fern and tldrnews, I don’t think they declared no AI, but I feel most of there animation seems to involve a lot of human labors, at least on top of AI.
They have also never declared the use of AI either, so I guess I don’t know for sure.

I should specify I am referring to mainland China. Hong Kong has a different health care systems, and the health care is usually considered reasonably affordable for residents (could be because people in Hong Kong are generally more wealthy than most of mainland China)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Hong_Kong
I want to add China’s healthcare is still reasonably affordable for many people living and working in cities.


No they don’t. They have state provided health care, supplemented with private options.
But they are not universal in the sense that (1) not the entire population is covered (although almost everyone is) (2) health care is not close to free for most people.

There is literally a hit movie couple years ago about the difficulty to obtain affordable Imatinib: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_to_Survive
(Imatinib was later covered by state health care package because of this movie
Do we know who is that person?
BTW, video also said many are injured, besides “at least” one death.
