Kagi’s pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it’s paid. I don’t mind paying, but there’s also no way to do private searches that way, so I’m not going to use it as my main search engine. It’s been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

And just replying here to verify that it’s me 👋

Are the comics separate canonically? Is this where Moominhouse comes from in the comics?

It’s a demonstration of the ability that companies have for tracking you across the internet. Try clearing your cookies / using private browsing / etc, and you’ll probably see the “FP ID” at the top be unchanged, because it can tell that it’s still you.

It got confused when I tried Tor Browser, which is good. First time I ever visited, but it thought that I was the same person as ~700 other people:

Good timing, I was just wondering about the API and posted a question over there 👍

Good call, edited to add a warning

I could also help out with basic, mostly hands-off mod duties if you’re looking for that

Is this a thread for recommending communities that aren’t politics, news, memes, or tech? If so, here’s some comic-related communities:

• !outofcontextcomics@lemmy.world
• !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
• !smbc@midwest.social
• !oglaf@midwest.social (generally NSFW!)
• !peanuts@midwest.social

And a few other miscellaneous communities:

• !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee
• !demakes@sh.itjust.works

Yeah, I went with the simplest spelling since there’s a lot of variants lol:

Yeah, looks almost like a yamaka

I don’t know of any academic literature on this, but you might find Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow interesting:

Disney World is run by rival adhocracies, each dedicated to providing the best experience to the park’s visitors and competing for the Whuffie the guests offer. In the post-scarcity world of the novel, Whuffie is a currency-like system that primarily measures the esteem of others, or in the case of extremely low Whuffie, their disdain.

As well as The Culture series. The author wrote some background for the series, and touches on reputation:

The Culture doesn’t actually have laws; there are, of course, agreed-on forms of behaviour; manners, as mentioned above, but nothing that we would recognise as a legal framework. Not being spoken to, not being invited to parties, finding sarcastic anonymous articles and stories about yourself in the information network; these are the normal forms of manner-enforcement in the Culture. The very worst crime (to use our terminology), of course, is murder (defined as irretrievable brain-death, or total personality loss in the case of an AI). The result - punishment, if you will - is the offer of treatment, and what is known as a slap-drone. All a slap-drone does is follow the murderer around for the rest of their life to make sure they never murder again. There are less severe variations on this theme to deal with people who are simply violent.

In a society where material scarcity is unknown and the only real value is sentimental value, there is little motive or opportunity for the sort of action we would class as a crime against property.

Some background on this comic:

Admins can purge users/posts/comments, which actually deletes it from the server

This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren’t aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.

We don’t know exactly, but here’s this:

Patty was apparently the oldest child in the early days of Peanuts, as shown by one strip which revealed that she attends school but Charlie Brown does not.

Charlie Brown is about 4 in these early comics, so it’s understandable he wouldn’t be able to read a clock

Hell yeah, it’ll be nice to have an answer other than “🤷” for people that want embedded loops 👍
