Do they have an error reporting feature?

I can’t think of a fully independent one.

Kagi includes search results from the big search engines, which would mean Google and Bing. So while they do some of their own crawling to improve the results, some of your money will still be going to Google and Microsoft. It’s still a step in a better direction though. I don’t know whether Kagi has any plans to become more independent in future.

Musk is white though.

Without a doubt they will have those other use cases in mind too. Mentioning them is just not good for marketing in public.

They think there will be more profit in it, especially since bees can’t be repurposed as weapons.

In Trump’s America you’ll be guilty if he says so until executed. There will be no opportunity to prove innocence.

It’s even crazier given that Canada, unlike the USA, has a viable third party in the NDP, which sits to the left of the Liberals and has some actual policies that would help people. Yet for some reason when people are being screwed by billionaires and their corporations, and by Conservative provincial governments, and even as they watch the USA declining daily under fascism, they still turn to the right instead of the left. Do people just have no idea what Conservatives are about?

If you’re talking about this comment thread, people are defending equality before the law and due process, not defending rapists and murderers.

Canadians, even as their country is directly threatened with economic ruin and annexation, and even as they watch the USA going downhill rapidly under fascism, are about to elect a guy who bases his whole new-found “tough guy” schtick on Trump, and who has courted the support of neo-Nazis. Ontario is about to re-elect the guy who has been dismantling public health, education and transport in favour of profitable deals for his cronies, even after he has been dismantling the province for years already. I really hope Candians see what’s happening next door and think twice, but I have little faith in electorates making smart decisions.

Why should undocumented people die for a crime while documented people shouldn’t? It’s the same crime. What possible argument is there for this except “It’s cheaper just to kill them, and we don’t give a fuck”? Effectively it’s execution for not having your papers in order.

Also, won’t this be used as the start of an excuse to kill whichever undocumented person they round up? And then to kill them in bulk, and then to kill the other people they decide to round up? There’s no reason whatsoever to trust this administration. They don’t believe in justice or laws.

The USA needs to find a way to get rid of these Nazis fast, or it’ll be too late to mount any effective resistance.

Some of us Canadians take it quite seriously too these days. Unfortunately we also have a good number of right-wing traitors who have long wanted to turn the country into the USA.

Yet more evidence shows Elon Musk and his cronies at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are unpopular with many Americans.

Nearly half of people who responded to a new CBS/YouGov poll out today said they want Musk to have less influence over government spending and operations, including nearly a third who think they should have none at all. The poll found that 18 percent of respondents said that Musk and his DOGE acolytes should have “not much” influence on government operations and spending, while 31 percent said they should have none at all. Predictably, the support differed along partisan lines: Nearly three-quarters of Republicans surveyed said Musk and DOGE should have “a lot” or “some” influence, whereas more than two-thirds of Democrats said they should have “not much” or “none.”

They’re really reaching with that headline. It’s in the territory between clickbait and positively misleading.

“But, you are the government,” Bash pointed out while Noem nodded in agreement.

“That’s what I’m saying. The American people now are saying that we have had our personal information shared and out there in the public,” Noem started before Bash interrupted to point out Musk has access to said personal information.

“Yeah, but Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping us identify where we can find savings and what we can do and he has gone through the processes to make sure that he has authority,” Noem defended before stating she is comfortable by “the work he’s doing to identify waste, fraud and abuse.”

User [email protected] observed in another thread how every conservative holds the unshakable, foundational belief that they are a good person, regardless of how they actually act. Here Noem brings it back to “Well, we’re the good guys so it doesn’t matter when we do it.” When you see it in this way, a lot of what the MAGA people do starts to make a little more sense. They don’t have to do anything good, or not do anything bad, in order to be the good guys in their own eyes. It’s just axiomatic for them.

Here’s a copy of [email protected]’s comment:

Conservativism is built on the idea that “I’m a good person.” That’s the core of every single conservative ideology. There are no unifying beliefs, no foundational value, no immovable, fundamental priorities for conservatives. Everything is negotiable, except for the fact that “I am a good person.” If I want something to change, it must change because I am a good person. If I want something to stay the same, it must remain the same because I am s good person. If you disagree with me, then you are a bad person.

A party of conservatives will coalesce around a single identity, and then it morphs into “We are the good people” but only because each individual member still believes “I am a good person.”

If someone else does something bad, it reinforces the idea that they are good. If they do something bad, it’s justified because they are the good ones as it was either necessary or a meaningless temporary lapse.

Conservativism is not so much an ideology as it is a psychosocial virus.

So there is no irony, no hypocrisy, no self-reflection among conservatives. They don’t perceive their flaws because that’s the point of conservativism. If conservativism were a sport, it would be Calvinball, where the rules are ephemeral and capricious.

When you try to apply reason to a conservative’s statements or actions, you’re wrestling with the tar baby they made for you.

Hard to tell. The picture was widely used in the media, and they’re usually quite careful about that kind of thing. There’s something reddish in it, but it could be material from the truck or its contents. One of the photos the police released of his guns had some red foamy material in it, another photo had some stringy red material (plastic?) lying in the road, and there were various red items in the bed too. I’ll mark it NSFW just in case.

There’s definitely a concept of a plan though. Don’t let your guard down, Canada!

Lots of things that are codified in the constitution are falling apart now. If Republicans control all branches of the government, including much of the judiciary, there’s little chance of any of it being enforced.

Well there was the little Christofascist takeover.

I think it’s important to keep using this image of Musk. It’s the most direct way to remind people that this powerful man working to destroy every government department from within is an unelected Nazi.

And even if they could, is impeachment going to somehow stop Trump this time, when it didn’t last time and he’s more powerful now? Sure, try whatever you can, but it still feels like the Democrats have not realized they’re up against a massively popular Nazi movement that is already in government and conducting purges.
