I like Kagi ($) for web search mainly because it returns results like Google used to with zero ads. AI/LLM tools are tastefully hidden from view most of the time, but available if you need them.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Every dollar that the Feds refuse to spend on their primary health, aged care and NDIS responsibilities leads to somewhere between $1.40 and $7.50 of expenditure required in the hospital system because of that $1.00 decision, depending upon the hospital. This is not new. We already know this.

No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.
