I use DDG too but Google does much better the more specific you get. I probably end up opening Google at least 5 times a day because of annoying DDG results.

correct, any amount on on site generation reduces stress on the grid. my power company actually pays me for what I produce over the first 10 years of my panels life... this is in addition to my savings

they will not (have panels, faced multiple hail storms)

it’s a false sense of security

You shouldn’t use a phone number for 2fa to begin with, you’d be better off without 2fa if that’s the only option IMO (assuming you’re using a strong unique password). This is just more fuel on that fire.

they’ve never actually supported free speech, if they did they’d have a chronological post feed

Well, time to tax.

the world has only moved away from this model because the world is filled with fake unprofitable companies filled to the brim with vc money while trying to monopolize their respective markets with too good to be true pricing.

Pinboard is an old school business. You pay money for a service, and if you don’t like it you get a refund.

laws aren’t impartiality! in general you’re never going to get something akin to federal free speech with a privately owned publishing platform!

love that everyone is expecting some sort of impartiality from advertising companies and data miners

policy isn’t the problem, it’s the platform itself

they already edit content, amazed that even on hn people seem to think that facebook isn’t dramatically controlling which content you see

they already censor what you say by using an algorithm to weight posts

this is all a big distraction to the fact that facebook is already playing the “arbiter of truth” - algorithms aren’t magic, they’re just automated biases.

If Zuckerberg truly wanted to be neutral they’d show unweighted posts... he doesn’t actually want that though, he’s just protecting profits (which is his primary responsibility as ceo anyway).
