Has anyone checked out marginalia search? (search.marginalia.nu)

This is not an ad BTW, I literally stumbled upon it a few minutes ago. From what I can gather, however, this is a [DIY-ish] search engine that solely searches on text (no other forms of media, such as, … idk hypertext maybe), which allows users to have more control over queries (like including and excluding terms). I suppose...

I morally support the endeavor, but unfortunately the search algo is trash.

Controlling who can come and settle doesn’t make a state authoritarian.

Current day Switzerland is not Nazi Germany.

Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ (www.theverge.com)

“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”...

That’s because TV commercials were usually well made, or for stuff you might need. For the stuff you didnt need, it was entertaining. (You remember the IBM TV ads in the 90s?) YouTube ads are for overpriced junk and dropshipping (raycon earbuds) when it’s not get rich quick scams.

C’est ce qui m’est arrivé. Depuis 2022, j’achète plus que du poulet conventionnel. Je peux plus me permettre le poulet bio.

Celui vendu par les petit producteurs locaux est deux fois le prix du bio de super-marché! Je peux encore moins me le permettre.

Y a pas d’intermédiaires mais y a beaucoup de coûts supplémentaires. Le fermier doit maintenant gérer ses stocks et les invendus, au lieu de tout vendre à un intermédiaire à la fin de sa période de production. Les intermédiaires optimisent tout, et jouent sur l’économie d’échelle. En plus de ça, pour le paysan sur le marché, sa clientèle cible c’est les catégories aisées.

The issue is that some communities are run by mods who think these are real news

The EU has uncultivated land subsidies. To avoid overproduction of food and overexploitation of the land, the EU pays farmers to keep their land uncultivated. Some countries, like mine, force farmers to uncultivate their land once every N years, and, of course, they get subsidies for this.

In my region, farmers will plant flowers and let weed grow, since they’re not putting any pesticide. They let the flowers and weeds die and rot at the end of the season. This way, they dont have to put as much fertilizer the next year. I’ve always seen these uncultivated fields full of bees and other pollinators in summer.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is much more nuanced. Both countries’ current heads of state are kinda like “all this land is my country’s, the other country should not exist.” It’s unclear who is right.

The Russo-Ukranian conflict is clear. One leader is claiming the land of the other, the other just want it back. Ukraine’s government is not claiming half of Russia.
