It sounds like the issue isnt for "independent wikis" but for wikis competing with an existing domain already hosting one on the topic, in this case fandom.com's.

Its not exclusive to bluesky by any margin, but it does become especially concerning as a double standard to filter lists.

Paint.net is just one of those freeware apps that became a sorta figment of retro identity for some people, akin to winamp. Even if they havent touched it in over a decade, they feel entitled to become vengeful for their nostalgia being "tainted".

And the thing I particularly enjoy about immich is that it's semantic searching is leagues better than any of the proprietary solutions in a lot of use cases. Particularly it works amazing for various brands and IP that 'cloud' offerings simply wont recognize.

Meanwhile so many westerners see LLMs as "stealing IP", it becomes a bit paradoxical where the lines get drawn.

Its usually either limited features, regional accessibility issues, or platforms like metas' just basically trading one big bad organization for another.

Which like yeah, I dont think theres been a worse era for desktop users to be stuck with largely aged packages using fixed-release distros. And looking further towards servers, with how easy it is to do declarative and/or immutable setups... it doesnt bode great.

I loathe to contemplate just how rough it is these days, at least basic LLM output still carries some rather obvious signals. Its gotten to the point I use an extension to count many of them and will outright entirely avoid anything that trends too high before I even lay eyes on the text.

When my MX Vertical started to have left click issues I certainly preferred to install some much more reliable switches than to buy a new mouse, I cant imagine the average consumer would bother.

I especially prefer it when the alternative is often some random windows-only binary, probably requiring a driver to be installed at that.

and simply dont use their homepage as your new tab page

When I search a local retailer I want to see things that are local, available in store first and foremost.

Anecdote as this is, I see it shifting among gen Z and alpha. When so many people have a tattoo, few are unique from having them. It used to be rebellious to have one, nowadays I see younger adults arguing you're more rebellious not to have one.

Especially the more online many people are, theres far more ways to express themselves among peers without doing something semi permanent on their skin.

And lets not pretend there arent increasingly realized health risks involved either, although I will concede the EU has at least made a number of steps to limit the concerning materials in inks.

As this post's author noted white LEDs can be pretty solid. Bulbs that have a mix of white LEDs at various temperatures to be "bi-color" tend to be pretty solid as well. Its once you go towards RGB light bulbs that you tend to get a fairly iffy CRI.

I've referenced https://optimizeyourbiology.com/light-bulb-database and https://optimizeyourbiology.com/smart-light-database before when looking at bulbs but if anyone has a better resource, absolutely please drop a reply.

Some local scenes as well, for better or worse. I'll still take it over some facebook group or the like.
