Definitely NOT what you want to read when talking about academic studies and statistics. It unfortunately makes you sound like an armchair expert
Edit: I misunderstood the comment and was unnecessarily rude

It’s the photo of a politician, which is against the rules that make this community pleasant for everyone else. You can find the guidelines of this community in the sidebar
This post goes against the community guidelines, please remove it
Edit: you can disagree, but it still goes against rule 2 of this community and I’m so sick of having political photos everywhere. There are tons of political communities already, go post there please
They are “on their side” when it’s in their interest to do so. Which, bluntly, is true for almost all people. Absolute altruism–doing a ‘good’ thing for which you receive absolutely no reward (including public recognition or a sense of smug superiority) at all–is so rare as to be extinct. That’s how politics is always played, my dude
…that’s literally what I have been saying. Matter of fact, your whole reply was just a different way of saying the same thing. You just repeated my points and tried to be cool by adding the “my dude” at the end.
I’m done with this pointless conversation. Goodbye
Indeed they can and do support things…things that will allow them to make more money. They are called investments.
The “fight” with DeSantis was all theatre and their “win” simply allows them to continue to rule on their land as if nothing changed.
And I think you are mixing correlation with causation: just because they happen to support and give money to Democrats, it doesn’t mean they stand by them. In the same link you shared, it shows they gave money to the Republicans and Nikki Haley…which is not something someone would do if they truly supported the things you said they do.
And that’s the whole point. They are not someone. They are a company, controlled by individuals who are simply looking to maximize profits. You think they are left- or center-aligned but that is simply because that reflects the majority of their customer base. If tomorrow the right suddenly comprised the majority of their customers, they would change side immediately.
I cannot believe people in 2024 still think giant multinational companies can “be on their side”
They are a company, they don’t support anything. They only look out for the most profitable paths to make money. Just last week Disney started giving donations to the Republican party again
Yes. Others have already explained why in the comments, so I’ll just leave the website for all public instances of SearXNG as alternative instead
This mentality smells of “just say no” for drugs or “just don’t have sex” for abortions. This is not the ideal world and we have to find actual plans/solutions to deal with the situation. We can’t just cover our ears and hope people will stop
That is a hobby. A lovely one, but still a hobby. That is not therapy.
I’m not saying you can’t gain insights into yourself or situations while doing that. It can most definitely help and be therapeutic. But therapy it is not
While I do absolutely agree that single issue politics is a real thing like you showed, literally the only reply to your comment was “if you are a single issue voter, you’re an idiot”.
So I also think OP has a point here and we’re talking more about the people who use the term as an ad hominem attack, which I certainly have seen plenty of. And now Lemmy has provided us with yet another example of people taking something legitimate and turning it into a weakness/attackable offence. Like some trolls and racist people on the right now talk about DEI in negative terms
I personally use OSS Document Scanner.
It has different dictionaries, can scan docs/papers and archive them. Can also translate and extract text (to an extent). It works great for my needs, hopefully it is what you were looking for too
I just found this yesterday so I cannot properly give a review on it, but I found Logseq which seems to be a privacy-focused knowledge management and collaboration platform. It seems very promising and reminds me somewhat of Obsidian
I personally use Thunder and I love it. I tried all other apps too but they never quite clicked completely with me. Have a good search!
Welcome then! If you are still looking for a decent app for random scrolling on Lemmy go here and take your pick. We are truly blessed
“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
I also often question whether the thing I’d like to post needs to be posted (and in the process, I talk myself out of it)
Lmao serious ‘fuck you’ energy.
Out of curiosity I went to the project’s page and saw more info on why they don’t take donations:
Free. Open-source. For users by users. No donations sought. If you ever want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which are available to use by all for free.
I’d like to add to the sentiment of this post by saying that if you ever used any of those amazing websites, I’m sure the developers will highly appreciate it if those with the means could consider contributing to their projects.
We all know how greedy and shameless YouTube can be, and yet those developers give us incredible products for free. And if you ever saw the entitled requests of some users on their projects’ pages whenever YouTube implements some changes, and they have to rush to fix their code, I’m sure you would appreciate them even more. I’ve personally seen quite a few projects being abandoned because of the sometimes thankless job of being a developer, and I would hate it for any of these to suffer a similar fate.
So if you can and are willing, feel free to join me in contributing to:
My mistake for misunderstanding what you meant then! I thought you were referring to the scientific article itself, not the news article
