Productivity is such a bullshit idea… Like how do you measure productivity? In GDP? Because in that sense, inflation increases productivity (nevermind that what that really means is that more money moved around simply because everything costs more). Or are you measuring units shipped? What units? In what way could these be equivalent. Output for outputs sake is the definition of bullshit jobs. Most of this productivity people talk about is actually just meaningless toiling for meaningless output. We aren’t building homes or harvesting food or in any way bettering our lives, we are toiling towards tricking rocks into being forced to suffer consciousness or something as closely approximating that as possible. Leave the pretty rocks alone and do something useful, for something other than GDPee growth. In what way is making the number go whirrrrr worth destroying the biosphere? Nobody is happy. The rich are miserable because as it turns out even being the first person to a trillion net worth can’t fill the dad shaped hole in your heart and the poor are miserable because meaningless toil is not a great recipe for fulfillment. This whole system up to and including AI needs to go full sui, so we can get back to picking fleas of eachother’s backs… Or you know, whatever the fuck you feel like doing when society doesn’t have a gun to your head.

I have been able to install ad blockers into Chromium, but I can remember if I had to change something somewhere. The point is, that it can be done… But overall I do agree that we Chromium is not fine overall. It needs to be forked to have full community control. FF has been forked a lot and I think that is the only reason we currently have functional browsers. Apparently this is a big problem, because you don’t see other much work in this area apart from servo, which would be great if it could get enough traction to be a full blown browser soon. I will switch on day 1.

Google is mask off now. It’s 100% a spyware company and jn AmeriKKKan crapitalism, caveat emptor.

Could we get a non YouTube link, since YouTube is owned by google and is causing the problem discussed by this video?

It’s funny, I hadn’t noticed, maybe because any site aleeady using reCAPTCHA or cloudflare alreadt gets blocked by my ad blocker… If those sites can’t do better on their own, its just another thing you don’t need. This is kind of a nothing burger. Stay strong and let google commit suicide.

This looks really rad. I have been trying to build a leftist search engine using searxng and it has a lot of issue because of things getting blocked over tor due to the amount of background requests you have to be making to those sites. I have thought about building something like this to deal with that issue, but just had my hands full with other projects. Quite obviously (for those who like to come online to shit on really cool project people are building) the use case is people looking to build their own privately indexed search results without it having to get polluted by shit that comes up in other search engines. I feel like that was immediately apparent to me, because I have that use case and I immediately saw the utility here. For those who don’t get, just because it doesn’t fit the use case you have for internet related projects, doesn’t mean it’s not extremely useful to others. You literally don’t have to come on here just to shit on what other people are doing simply because, “you don’t get it.” This project looks really cool and I am going to look into replacing my searxng instance with this soon. I am super stoked that somebody has done this work. It has needed to be done for a long time. So thank you!
