• 'You have blood on your hands', US senator tells Zuckerberg [video]

  Sometimes I still use https://millionshort.com/ for filtering out those crap tier sites; web site search engine still means finding useful webpages - I hope the AI search engines do recognize that as a target to list actual useful sites vs the 1-summary-to-rule-them-all. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Looks like millionshort is back

  After getting a 503 from every search for months, it would appear https://millionshort.com is back online and going to a paid model. If you get the same experience as I, you'll be offered a login/register page when attempting a search. I've found it to be a very helpful resource and am glad there's life there. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users

  Kagi search is brilliant in this aspect. There used to be a similar service [0] not too long ago that blocked many spam sites from the search results. [0] http://millionshort.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Cory Doctorow: Platform Capitalism and the Curse of “Enshittification” [audio]

  Https://millionshort.com/ Then there's neocities, weird subreddits, 4chan, niche forums still running on phpBB discussing all kinds of stuff. You seem to expect that niche communities should've scaled with the rest of the internet. Like, back then, there were a few million people online. Now it's billions, but the few millions still online in their niches aren't interesting enough for you. Why? - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Ask App Not to Track, cause why would it want to?

  Https://wiby.me/ - sites with "classic" (late 90s, early 00s) design Https://search.marginalia.nu/ - text-heavy sites, avoids modern javascript/css/animation heavy design Https://crowdview.ai/ - forums and discussion sites Https://consensus.app/search/ - privileges scientific research (requires an account) Https://feedle.world/ - blogs and podcasts Https://metaphor.systems/ - less common...

• Why is mainstream media coverage of France so limited?

  It's everywhere I get the news. If you want a deep dive, just go to France24.com or LeMonde.fr/en or even bbc.com/news. Source: about 1 year ago

• Biden calls 'emergency' meeting after missile hits Poland

  Aight so the general idea here is it's not absolutely certain that Russia shot it and they're definitely denying it. Poland's trying to keep calm to avoid having to invoke article 4 and are leaning on the side of "accident" at the moment. This is almost certainly going to be fine, but if you want to stay up to date on it go to the BBC for decently unbiased reporting. Source: over 1 year ago

• Trader blames Brexit for soaring price of fish – but BBC edits it out

  It's similar to the memory hole effect with online news sites. If you initially release an article with inaccurate or misrepresented headline and contents, then change it later on without any record of the change (something the BBC has repeatedly done on bbc.com/news) you get a difference in perception of a news event based on when someone saw/read the coverage.

• Boris Johnson calls for calm after a fiery fourth night of violence in Northern Ireland

  True. I visit news.sky.com and bbc.com/news front page daily and I only found about it yesterday. Source: about 3 years ago
