Do Google take payments to block results, especially image results? (self.privacy)

Google image results are shit on purpose. They used to be better (long before AI). I am guessing that they use the pretence that it's all about porn. But they do it for tools, equipment, stereos etc.. to give bad results. Are they getting paid (yet) to return bad results?

Manipulating search results for profit is something that they already do, and targeted adverts. So it's not that much of a stretch. I was just wondering if it is acknowledged already.

Touchscreens Are Out, and Tactile Controls Are Back in c/technology

[–] Babalugats 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Touch screens are shit tor buttons. They can be hacked. They can be unresponsive.

There's a load of other reasons, but either or both are enough to realise that a physical button is much safer. Perfect example of safety being lost in technology. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

Luckily somebody circled it for us, I'm not sure I would've known what was being pointed out to use otherwise.

If they get this, I'm gonna make s fortune ripping the copyright protection off stuff so that I can sell products as my own.

Where to start with a forum or community site and what should I expect it to cost? in c/[email protected]

[–] Babalugats 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, is it possible to create sub categories. I haven't ever seen a mod api, I might try one out this evening. Thanks again.

Where to start with a forum or community site and what should I expect it to cost? (self.webdev)

I would like to create a site that that allows people to select a category and/or a sub-category and invite people to join and partake in something for a limited time period determined by the OP, but also allowing other users to suggest alternative options as a votable option.

I have no idea where to start with any of this.

Is it just forum software that I should be looking at, and could anyone recommend one if it is. Also how much should I be looking at to begin with?

EDIT - Thanks everyone, all good options to look at. I am going to try a Lemmy Sub, as that seems to be the most favoured answer by users. Hopefully I will get to grips with it. 🙂

I didn't know there was a name for it, I don't have anymore info on it, but I can show examples of it happening.

Snowflake is such a weird insult as it seems to imply it's best to just be like everyone else in c/showerthoughts

[–] Babalugats 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Doesn't the same apply to pretty much any insult?

And why we're not supposed to use the word "normal" when referring to somebody or what they aren't..

I don't think snowflake is intended to be an insult though, is it? I always thought it was a stupid reference to what is perceived as an over sensitive generation (or person).
