I'm not sure about the others, but the last guy (from Oregairu iirc) was definitely pretentious. Like being vague about his ideas just to appear smart and productive. The hand gestures was the best part.

I'm gonna wait for the platinum ultimate mega collector's anthology edition at a 90% discount after 7 years.

Personally, I recommend AmogOS.

which government? there are plenty of those.

Most people in my media classes seem to be so obssessed with the content of social media as opposed to the systems of social media. A lot of other students and professors are only interested in alternative content rather than alternative systems. They talk about the "algorithm" as some kind of sentient being instead of something programmed by people. It's a weird shift in media studies going from concerns over systems to content.

Another one is how people will only watch things that are on Netflix or whatever the popular streaming app is now. Some people have asked me for film suggestions but when they find out that it's not on Netflix, they lose interest even if I provide them with a link to it from archive.org or other very special places.

There's a PR for it. Hopefully we get it on the next update.

DaVinci Resolve is much better than any open source NLE. Generally, most closed source media production software is better than their open source counterparts except Blender. Blender is incredible and it gives me hope that other open source software can be just as successful in the media industry.

This should explain the fmhy situation:

Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn't?

edit: This has triggered a chain of comments I wasn't expecting. I'd appreciate it if someone can answer on a technical level. Is the latter two using a different registrar or name server which is why it still works for them?

My favorite r/selfhosted comment.

Here's my experience with some search engines:

A Tier -- Gives me the closest results.

• Google: A classic and oftentimes, it gets what I want. A lot of the links are redirects which is annoying.
• Kagi: It's paid but it has a lot of features like "lenses" and "quick answer". The results are pretty good. It gives me good articles and PDFs instead of a blogspot post.
• You.com: The WORST UI EVER but the results are surprisingly decent. It's pretty close to Kagi. It might actually be the same thing. It also has an AI chatbot but I don't think it's as good as Bing's or OpenAI's.

B Tier -- Gives me decent results.

• Startpage: ~~It used to use Google search results but they switched to Bing. It is worse than Google.~~ EDIT: Search results are still closer to Google but they "incorporate Microsoft Bing results". From my experience, it filters out some of Google results that were very useful for me. Their widgets (particularly the Wikipedia one) sometimes displays irrelavant information.
• DuckDuckGo: Results are worse than Google. One time a referral link came up in one of my searches.
• Bing: There's no dark mode. The AI chat tool is pretty nice and is comparable to the OpenAI one (significantly better than Google's Bard). Search results are worse than Google.
• Yandex: Search results are similar to DuckDuckGo.
• Ecosia: Search results are similar to the ones above.

C Tier -- Gives me poor results.

• Brave: Search results feel so inconsistent and out of place. Maybe worse than the ones above.
• Mojeek: Independent search engine. Results aren't very good.

Open Source Front Ends - Results quality varies.

• SearXNG: It depends on which instance you're using. Sometimes search results error out due to rate limiting but you still get results anyway. It has a lot of options and configs so it fits to your liking so you can choose which search engines you want to include.
• LibreX: Actually one of my favorites since I've never encountered errors due to rate limiting but using it to search for images is terribly slow. It has a cool feature where you can add front ends like Libreddit and Wikiless. It also has a built-in torrent search engine.
• Whoogle: The UI isn't very good and it performs poorly on most public instances. A smaller or private instance might be worth looking into. It uses Google search results.

F Tier -- It sucks.

• Qwant: Not available in my country.

If anyone knows of any other search engine not in this list, let me know so I can try it out.
