Testing what they can get away with is my guess.
I just started using this one today: https://docs.searxng.org/ and it did a great job for what i needed. I never heard of it before, but found the link on an old Lemmy post.
I don’t know how it would work for other people with other needs, but i needed to find graphic designers to help me with a project. DuckDuckGo kept giving me hundreds of results from a handful of big companies, but i wanted small companies and individuals. Found exactly what i needed on the first search using this engine.
Just by coincidence i’m watching a gameranx video about the 10 worst AAA games, and Falcon says the same thing about games as a service (subscriptions, micro-transactions, etc.): “it seems like they’re playing a game of chicken with the consumer to see what they can get away with”.

Yeah i think we’re in a golden age of indie games. When i want to find a new game, i search youtube for “best indie games of 2018” or 2017, 2021 or whatever. So much great stuff to play made in the last 5-10 years. And so much more affordable. And it feels great to give my money to these devs.
Me too. This video helped a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Df5_cojAs
I got them on Firefox with Ublock Origin but only with my VPN on US or Canadian servers. Then a few days later, even on those servers they disappeared. Haven’t seen one since those first few.

More likely because researchers, professors, and even grad students are desperate to publish because their jobs require it in the new research-for-profit model of universities and colleges, so they work too quickly and take shortcuts to make their publishing quotas and deadlines.
Yeah i agree. For what it’s worth, here are 2 ways i use to bypass captchas: Use this site: https://archive.fo/ Use a vpn and set the server site to a location that nixes the captchas (Denmark, Taiwan, etc.)
True. I once considered subscribing, some years ago, but customer reviews of OST convinced me not to. Looks like i made the right decision.
Any of thousands of people can say this but i don’t see it in the comments below so: I’ve been using a Linux Mint / Windows dual boot system for over 10 years and love it. I think a lot of people see Linux as highly technical, but versions like Mint and Ubuntu are more carefree than Windows nowadays.
Wow, Silverlock exists and is active. I feel … protected. Seriously. I’ve only been modding for about six months and silverlock has seemed like some ancient cabal of wizards that disappeared years ago, when Fallout 4 was new. But here they are, on the job. Very cool.
