non-US search engine (start page)

Startpage is owned by an American advertising company.

Try Qwant or Ecosia. They’re working together to develop an independent search index (Staan) and it’s already in use in France and Germany.

You wouldn’t download a Bill Gates.

The fact that this has 62 upvotes is making me lose brain cells.

This happened in Finland. The guy in charge is Petteri Orpo.

Edit: And his asshole cabinet of ministers.

Very likely, considering which political parties are in charge.

I call this government coalition “persrukous” (ass prayer):

pers: persut, short for “Perussuomalaiset” (Finns Party, far right)
ru: Suomen ruotsalainen kansanpuolue (Swedish People’s Party of Finland, centrist liberal, will do anything the coalition wants as long as everyone is forced to learn the language of the 5% linguistic minority, it’s always been like this no matter who the governing parties are)
ko: Kokoomus (National Coalition Party, centre-right/right wing liberal conservative, your typical neoliberal demons who only care about making the rich even richer and punishing the poor for existing, they lead the coalition)
us: uskovaiset = the religious = Kristillisdemokraatit (Christian Democrats, right wing, they’re pretty much NCP but they love Israel even more and hate everything)

Any sublemmy that’s name starts with “fuck”.

Always a miserable time, even if I agree with the sentiment of some of those places.

Humans were not designed to endure this 24/7 flood of miserable shit happening all over the world, which you can’t have an effect on anyway.

It’s often better to engage with it in a controlled manner, at least in my opinion, especially if you’re already suffering from multiple severe mental health disorders like me, even without these things making it A LOT worse.

I think there was a sub that was called /r/jailbait as well.

The fact that Reddit became mainstream after all that vile shit thriving on that platform is nothing short of insane.

I have a TP-Link router.

It’s great, but the first one I got was broken right out of the factory, so this is a warranty replacement for the first one that I got.

Wow, a Lemmy meme that’s that recent?

I thought the minimum age of memes to be posted here is at least a decade.

No, I’m not thinking of veganism.

This is just the mentality that I’ve heard from many vegetarians.

Yes, of course, but I’ve always thought of vegetarians as people who don’t eat anything that comes from a dead animal.

I’m not sure how blood is compatible with vegetarianism.

High amounts of caffeine. Increases blood pressure.

Same goes for coffee too.

They have already done that! :)

Mess around with a mod pack like “Feed the Beast” or “All The Mods”, they have so many tech mods that you can do crazy automation factories with. You can probably get some inspiration from them and some of them are open source so you can check how the APIs work together in practice (just don’t copy them directly, please).

I probably have thousands of hours in modded Minecraft, just doing automation and upgrading my gear. Never cared that much for building :D

Do any of your mods have potato knishes?

Finnish username

I thought I was being original picking Nyan Cat as my profile picture for this platform.

Oh well, we’re siblings now I guess. :D
