Not wearing a hijab is an offense punishable based on the Iranian regime’s Sharia-based law. The law is supervised by a task force known as the morality police, which patrols around cities. In universities, students are monitored for the mandatory hijab by security forces based inside colleges.

Fuck their misogynistic crap

It’s not fair to call Kagi just meta search engine. As you mentioned they do have their own index, it’s just that they are complementary. They even show you how much of the results are unique results from their index. They’re very open about it.

there is a better open source meta search engines which actually respect your privacy and need your donations more than Kagi shareholders.

Privacy I can definitely agree on but the actual search result is not better. I think it’s safe to say that if you’re paying for Kagi, you know what Searxng is and can spin up one if you want. I’ve done it myself and it was clearly not better.

And if you think about it, if you self host Searxng, that means all the search query + your IP goes to search providers which kinda kills the point, unless you use VPN or Tor, both of which have their drawbacks.

If you use hosted instance, you have to trust them. Being an opensource project doesn’t mean a lot when you can’t go through the source code that is actually running.

At some point you have to trust someone. I happened to trust Kagi to some extent.

Obviously because western culture is the mainstream. There are a lot of movies/TV shows about, for instance, Korean culture. You just don’t see them much because it’s not mainstream. But thesedays, you can argue that they’re getting pretty popular.

Enjoying and using one’s own culture is clearly not racism. Not actively looking for different culture is not racism either; you can’t force people to like something. And I think we’re at a point where the general public is pretty much wide open to things from other cultures. Racist 4chan incels are definitely not the majority.

If something is good, it’ll sell. Of course it’s not that simple, but we do see more and more things from other cultures.

This is also why I never liked the idea of the black Little Mermaid. It’s clearly just a virtue signaling Disney money grab that has nothing to do with black representation. If they could make money and look good by putting white power shit in their Snow White remake, they would. They just don’t even try. If they really cared about representation, they should’ve come up with an actual African mythology story and not just put a black woman in a pre-existing story, as if Danish people at that time would’ve welcomed her like the movie. If anything, that’s racist.

Good and authentic stuff sells. Surely it’s not going to dominate overnight but just like how black music dominated(and still does) music industry, it’ll get better over time with actually good representations.

I know that my argument oversimplifies a lot of things but it’s doesn’t help if you just say it’s racism.

Do I still get banned for the pager joke?

If that first comment gets you a ban, I seriously don’t know what wouldn’t.

Mastodon does it like this:

At the end of the day, you still have to manually put in the address, which is still nice to have than nothing though but it’s only marginally better.

Jesus and The Father is not just the same entity. From what I understand it’s like water: liquid water is water. Ice is water but it’s not a same thing as (liquid) water.

The Father is just something above gender. Jesus is a man.

I often take a look at Material design’s color palette when I need colors. It’s nice to follow them and it’s also nice to take hints from them.

North Korea launches a new ICBM designed to threaten US + voters that he needs his money and he needs it real fast.

I meant leading as in “if Apple does something, others will too”. That has been true for quite a long time now.

anti-poor organization

I’m using that exclusively now for sure.

Does he know that x.com is literally one of the biggest website on the Internet?

Considering their industry-leader status, it’s about 5-7 years too late.

Fancy S3 losing market? I am shocked!

Tankie crowd control method: showing them pictures of burgers

I mean, part of the protest is to wait for the consequenses. Whether it’s right or wrong, I don’t see how this is surprising to anyone.

Thank you. I’m Asian myself so 😅
