Yeah I guess if you've been using it for a long time and have favourites built up that would work. I remember when YouTube started and it was pretty good, but with every video trying to game the algorithms I couldn't imagine trying to start afresh now.

The people that say it's their main form of entertainment must have to wade through so much crap to get to anything good, I just don't see the point.

I don't get the appeal of YouTube. I use it for maybe the odd music video or something, but often you'll just get someone's annoying commentary instead of the actual thing.

I live without it and it's great! Try it.

All of these AI prompts sound like begging. We're begging computers to do things for us now.

I see that makes sense. So what does making it public/blending traffic do?

I just ditched Proton Unlimited after moving to it last year from Google. The Drive app just never worked properly. Ended up going with Fastmail for email as I'm in Australia anyway and so far they've been good.

I did a quick search - looks like it is based on the number of first pref votes: https://www.aec.gov.au/Parties_and_Representatives/public_funding/index.htm

I'm still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?

I think I heard something about the smaller parties getting more funding in the next election if they get more votes. The big parties will always get votes, it's nice to help the smaller parties out if you believe in them.

poorer quality services that could be provided better by private industry.

That could is doing some heavy lifting there.

Damn I forgot about Reader 😞 I kept my late-00s "Legacy" Google Apps account until the end of last year, when their discounted rate (after fully removing free) was about to go up.
