From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the deal with these slop-y Linux tutorial "blogs"? (slrpnk.net)

In the recent days I've been stumbling upon weird, new ~~so-called "AI"~~ Mathy-math-slop sites, like linuxv*x.com[^1]. Some other was called something like "tutorialsipedia", or whatever.

[^1]: Don't want to give them the traffic.

Have you noticed these? Is that some weird new Startup that wants to leverage CEO and "AI"? I'd use them, but my eyes glaze off the page. It's like a drop on a Lotus leaf and I can't really read that garbage. What's up with those?

I use this userscript (works on Ddg, Bing, ... too) since i can't have a addon for every little thing. It can export/import the lists too.

[–] glitching@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 hours ago

was about to add this. kinda sad that I had to give up my searxng instance because I can't get ublacklist to work on it (works on some public instances)

[–] Agility0971@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

How did I not know about this? Thanks!

OH man, thank you for that!

Wait, doesn't this just duplicate uBlock functionality? You can just add the lists directly to uBlock, or am I missing something?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I have heard before that you can just add it to uBlock Origin, yeah.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 14 hours ago

Hey so just because I went on a spree, here's a bunch of lists you can choose from to import into uBlock since that's super simple already, and this other addon requires you to add them anyway so:

Awesome. How have I never used this before

Nature is healing.

Neat... Is there an alternative for people who don't use google? 😅

Searxng and ddg? Nice! 🤩🤩

Thanks a bunch! ❤️

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

It blocks on all the major engines. DDG included.

Thank you very much, do you have recommendations on lists to subscribe to?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Nothing in particular. They all seem about the same to me. Check top rankings on GitHub perhaps.
