apologies, I am talking about the Flying Circus, not Holy Grail, which I should have clarified on my original comment. obviously the group has done some groundbreaking work and I do love that, but sensibilities have definitely changed since then. I don't hold that against them, but it can be jarring to see

oh I see, I am talking about The Flying Circus, not the movie. The casual use of slurs is jarring to me personally

don't really understand the down votes, but I am very open to hearing why it seems to be a controversial statement. the show has some bigoted scenes and I am not defending that, obviously. I am simply talking about how I like the creative premises of the absurdist comedy

It's a good article, but the headline feels a bit off considering the source. The idea of personal responsibility has been co-opted by corporations in the past to deflect from systemic issues, so seeing it framed this way- especially given the ownership and agenda of WP- feels a little manipulative. Though, to be fair, I am almost certainly over-analyzing it.

Holy hell this looks really cool! its about 70% of what i need it to be out of the box! and it has a decent api as well. I might just end up using this. Anything you have in mind on the retrieval/ search side of things?

yes, ff is terrible at this. I have tried this approach too, but it gets overwhelming FAST. being slightly neurodivergent, its a non starter for me
