Am I the only one who thought that was Tommy Wiseau sitting there?

I’m not new, but when I joined during the initial migration, I saw trends like beans, beef straganoff, and holding in poops for as long as possible. I can’t recall any adjacent inside jokes recently (although I have blocked a lot of communities to preserve my mental health).

This is not a shit post, it is a necessary one

Anarchy anyone?

This reddit thread has a nice summary

My stance on Proton is my stance on GrapheneOS: just because the creator is bad doesn’t mean the software is bad. As long as the software is better compared to the alternatives then I seen no reason to stop using it.

Note: better can mean more privacy-friendly, cost-friendly, sustainable, nice to use, open, etc.

Oddly enough, I found the opposite to be true with companies like Nestle: the news of them killing children makes me dislike their chocolates.

Oh, the spelling difference got me. Thank you!

TIL that cubicle is an adjective and a noun. I was calling things “cube like” until now

Thank you for the corrections! I’ve updated the post. I agree that Brave search had the best results/UX. As you mentioned, I have my own moral qualms with brave as a company.

Added! I love the mission

I’ve updated the post to say that in Brave uses a custom index. I skipped DuckDuckGo because it only uses Bing :(

I’ve had similar sentiment from other users! I’m inclined to give it a shot

Added!

For those looking for some Google alternatives:

• Qwant has a custom indexing strategy and is okay
• Brave Search ~uses Google and Bing~ EDIT: they use a custom index too
• Startpage uses Google and Bing and it’s prettier than Brave IMO
• SearX is ugly but has a lot of sources
• Perplexity AI tracks the shit out of you but it’s decent
• Kagi is customizable but it costs you

Feel free to add on any I missed or opinions on these; I haven’t used any extensively
