Weirdly, AIM was a great social media application. Anyone on AIM was on because they wanted to talk. I actually miss AIM a good amount, now you can reach anyone but you're always interrupting their life.

Wow, 50 years, so old. It strikes me as a pretty decent list. The books on here I've read (maybe 30%) are worthy of recommendation. People always get offended by lists, I've noticed.

I remember someone trying to fix an isue on my machine recursively changed all permissions on the whole drive to 777. Might as well have nuked the system.

Kagi is actually really good and usable. I'd pay for it just for the "I'm feeling lucky" bang alone. (Add ! to the end of your query.) The AI answer thing when you do ? is also pretty nice. Plus, no more doing weird java

$3000 is a not so great one as well. They can go up to $16k for some 80 cell models. 20 cell ones have gotten pretty cheap, though. (Relatively speaking.) Being blind is expensive.

This comment shouldn't be downvoted. Point to a 750 billion dollar company that doesn't have undue market power.

This is true. Also, when was the last time you sat down and ate five oranges? Processing changes what you eat. Oranges are pretty good for you, orange juice often is not.

Sure, and the flu isn't over, either, last time I checked it's still circulating and a large number of people die every year from it. Eventually you have to go live your life.
