There is also Komga , Librum and Stump.

If in the US this is all you need.

Had a book of his art growing up. My parents were weird conservative Christians who didn’t want me watching something so evil as the Simpsons but as long as it was artwork, nudity was fine. Love Vallejo!

Not sarcastic at all. It is nice.

That sounds like a nice life you’ve chosen for yourself and your family.

The best I can tell, you seem to be adding more to my statement than I implied. I am not advocating for technological regression. I am simply stating that if someone thinks they NEED a car, they are mistaken. There a plenty of people living in every type of community, including middle America, that live just fine without cars. It’s a conscious decision that can be made with certain sacrifices and effort. People over state the idea that it’s somehow impossible or not their choice. Living with less convenience is still living, and I would say in many cases a benefit to ones health, both mental and physical.

You seem to be seeking some kind of AI proxy, I think you’re trying to anonymize your prompts. VPNs and Wikipedia are not ideal examples of this. But I will try to answer the intent of your question.

All AI as a service provider will log your queries. The only way to sort of anonymize would be to use someone else’s key/credentials. But that would just push off the logging to someone else. It’s like sharing out your Netflix password…

The only truly anonymous way is to run your own, by self hosting an open LLM, which is doable, yet much more complicated, and would not be as good as the current big company services.

I completely agree with you OP and this applies to every location on earth. People have forgotten that we have not always had cars and people have free will and with enough effort you can most definitely live without a car, especially in the modern error with on demand everything. The excuses and what about-ism on this topic is really telling!

This is a twitter meme. It was co-opted by a Facebook SovCit group, who being idiots didn’t understand it was a joke, and then you removed that context and just posted a twitter meme. Making OP look idiotic by osmosis. no disrespect, just stating facts…

Not a whole lot can be done with a first and last name and a phone number. If someone is motivated they don’t need any of this to do harm.

As an example at my job people know my first and last name and I give it to people voluntarily without knowing anything about the other person. While I don’t give out my personal phone number, I know lots of people that do. Sometimes on their business card or even email.

You may be over thinking this and just use it as a lesson to be a bit more guarded and aware of social pressure in the future.

When Siege came out in 2015 I was obsessed and have played it for well over a thousand hours.

It has progressively became more and more diluted and I haven’t played in a few years.

What do they say about trying to squeeze blood from a turnip?

What’s this “Cable TV” their talking about? Is it like the telegraph?

Yes, Kagi has a bunch of “Lenses” not just for Lemmy & Kbin but for all kinds of sources.

As of right now I’m not sure how you could SEO boost Lemmy. The federation makes it seem like a single post exists on many different sites.

With nearly a thousand Lemmy instances it’s as though someone cross posted to hundreds of websites which there would be no way to prioritize with the way current mainstream search engines work.

They just need to program a method for indexing Lemmy, and the rest of the ActivityPub compatible services, as a single entity. I am sure they will catch up eventually.

I assume you’re phrasing this as a question to challenge what I said regarding main stream search engines.

It is possible to get a random hit on Lemmy, as instances are crawled like any other webpage. Just like you might get a Mastadon hit every once in a while. However they will not rank very high and almost always be buried a few pages in, while a Reddit post will rank much higher for the same search.

It’s the natured of how federation works and search engines don’t account for it. You can increase your chances by including a specific instance name or the word Lemmy.

Kagi is a search engine that has built in Lemmy/Kbin search.

If you’re talking about mainstream search engines then no, they haven’t started supporting Fediverse content yet.
