This is how you get republicans wanting to use RATM on the campaign trail

Be the change you want to see

You know, it was super creepy until I got to the video without a soundtrack and found out they sound like farts.

I haven't done it in decades, so I don't know if it's changed, but there used to be an option called flying standby. You'd buy a ticket without a seat assigned, and you'd just go to the gate and wait to see if a flight went to your destination with an empty seat you could claim. It was cheaper, but no guarantee of getting a flight.

An "introduction" to lemmy that's buried behind clicking through vague smalltext, and not any of the brightly colored buttons enticing you to pick a server.

This is bad UX.

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking you were trying to say that bolting on widgets made it no longer a search engine.

I see, you're splitting the UI from the backend as two different things, and Im seeing them as parts to a whole.

then send them to the user to be displayed

This is where my understanding breaks. Why would displaying it as a summary mean the backend process is no longer a search engine?

Maybe I just don't know what "generating results" means. You query a search engine, and it generates results as a page of links. I don't understand how generating a page of links is fundamentally different from generating a summation of the results?

What do you mean its not generating the results? If the summation isn't generated, wheres it come from?

I had to tell DDG to not give me an AI summary of my search, so its clearly intended to be used as a search engine.

Implying I didn't feel old then, lmao
