Why not just... Automate that with an Arr stack? And use Jellyseer to find new and popular movies and shows.

Or the US simply uses several Ohio-class submarines to glass the factories. Hooyah Navy. Hopefully take out as much of the PLA as possible along the way. Let them try ruling over a pile of dust and ash.

You could try looking at Freecycle, Trashnothing, or Freegle, instead of the Facebook groups. I think there's also Lemmy and Mastodon groups around brewing you can try looking at. Anything to fight the system!

You could also learn how to brew your own beer, and try growing your own herbs and vegetables either on a balcony or patio or even indoors. Even more of a middle finger to the billionaires. Buy-nothing groups for furniture and other items, or a local garage sale, or at least a locally-run secondhand store. The less we consume, the less wealth is transferred.

This shift is due largely to users’ bypassing Google to start their search for goods on Amazon. It’s handing Amazon billions in advertiser dollars. Meanwhile, TikTok has less than 4% of U.S. digital ad revenue, but significant potential to expand its share of the pie. A recent TikTok pitch to advertisers reported on by The Wall Street Journal said that 23% of its users searched for something within 30 seconds of opening the app, and its global search volume was three billion a day. The second threat is the rise of “answer engines” like Perplexity which, well, do what they say on the tin. OpenAI has added internet search to ChatGPT, Meta Platforms is exploring building its own search engine, and even AI chatbots that can’t search the internet are proving increasingly capable at addressing many questions. They’re also becoming ever more widespread, as Microsoft and Appleintegrate them directly into the operating systems of all the devices they make or support.

I personally like baresearch.org and SearXNG.site and switch hqcobajd forth if either gets temporarily suspended for making too many requests. I also saw a tutorial on YT on how to set up your own instance if you're not on mobile. I do highly recommend still using ublacklist alongside SearXNG, since that helps block all the SEO spam and listicles.

Have you tried uBlacklist and SearXNG?

(Sure, I don't mind long replies.)

In that case, what is the line between "simply" hate speech and actual radicalization to terroristic acts and/or conspiracy to terroristic acts and/or incitement to terroristic acts? At what point does it stop being "someone should [violent act] the [slur]s" and become "I bought a gun and several mags and have been practicing for the [dogwhistle mass violence event], let's [violent act] the [slur]s"? At what point does it stop being 4chan trolling and become all but admitting intention to commit the Christchurch shooting? A Stormfront discussion forum becoming outright planning for and incitement to a Jan 6th riot?

I have Linux Mint installed with the Windows theme and Windows style cursor. It looks almost identical to Windows. A screenshot of a Linux Mint desktop themed to look like Windows 10. three open windows showcase Steam, the file manager, and Firefox opened to YouTube.

Even Linux Mint?

How about incitements to violence and outright explicit disinformation/misinformation, like:

  • [group] should be [violent act]
  • [group] are [dehumanizing pejorative] that deserve [violent act]
  • [dogwhistle for the actual Nazis, like the 14 words, terminology specifically referencing the Final Solution, etc]
  • [hard r] are [extreme dehumanizing pejorative] and don't deserve [human rights]
  • [violent or repulsive act] the [slur]
  • "Despite only making up 13%..."
  • "Whites create and forget, [slur]s copy and remember..."
