Yeah, IMO it's a constitutional question. I'm coming at it from the EFF's side:

We are deeply disappointed that the Court failed to require the strict First Amendment scrutiny required in a case like this, which would’ve led to the inescapable conclusion that the government's desire to prevent potential future harm had to be rejected as infringing millions of Americans’ constitutionally protected free speech.

I wish that were true. I know too many people IRL that believe that and are old enough that they should know better.

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.

Mild annoyance. People are also annoyed at the asskissing of Trump in the shutdown message, given that he wanted it shut down last time he was president. IMO people will just move on to whatever else.

I don't really understand why the Supreme Court ruled that this is legal in the first place.

That's a good take. Reminds me of this XKCD, pointing out how much invisible work goes into everyday things around us:

Yeah, his idea was that they gave you water for free because it would fill you up, meaning you ate less at the buffet, and he wanted to maximize the value of his money

Sounds like a friend of mine that refused the free water at a Chinese buffet, because they were just trying to get him to eat less

I mostly care about how much caffeine I get, which I understand to be the same regardless of how much ice there is. Generally, small or medium is 2 shots of espresso, and a large is 3 shots.

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

That is a fun fact! Looks like sheath in English is a cognate with the same etymology

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.
