TIL: SearXNG (https://docs.searxng.org)

It's a meta search engine, it runs your search across many search engines.

Better: It makes its own profile/browser footprint, so it is not associated with your google/microsoft/whatever account. The only thing that leaks through is your IP address.

It then gives you the results just like you're used to except you get results from N search engines instead of just the one.

This is an easy to run docker image!

Anyone taught themselves/learned either freecad or onshape via online resources they could recommend?

Tried a couple youtubes for freecad a while back and just didn't get anywhere.

I use tinkercad for small parts.

Previously used sketchup for woodworking, but the pricing and web version just don't cut it for me. #cad #3dprinting

Elon Musk isn't the virus. He's just pretty good at it.

The bad idea is older and simpler. We're bad at cooperation. We default to extraction because it pays out fast — within a single lifetime, within a single attention span.

He didn't invent that. He just scored highest on the test.

We built a competition optimized for 60 year payouts and acted surprised when it selected against our children.

He's not the aberration. He's the gold medalist of a game we never should have been playing.

you know... it sucks

but violence is the answer.

If the other side is prepared for violence, or you know, enacting it for fucking decades, there is nothing else they will accept as an argument.

we can build incredibly elegant systems that are mathematically perfect, egalitarian, just gorgeous. But they fall apart because someone who wants more will inevitably attack to get what they think they deserve.
