  • I thought the same about Liftoff. I downloaded it and Connect at the same time and felt ok about both, but didn’t see them as improvements over Jerboa. As of five minutes ago I started giving Connect another shot; the Sync hype has me wondering if the grass is greener anywhere but I’m not willing to drop $20 to remove ads for a federation access point.






  • My guy, I’m not sure that you read either link despite quoting them. You skipped over #5, huh? Or #6, that despite a surge the murder rate is still below previous highs? Hell, they even say that outright in #7.

    You’re right that I didn’t specifically link the second article to discuss underreported deaths. I did it because Figure 2 shows NVSS data that I could not otherwise locate easily, which also shows the trend I suggested. It can be difficult, I’m sure for reasons you understand, to source figures for police violence from rigorous sources… Especially when, as the article I linked notes, there are numerous issues with official sources. Here’s UIC’s page anyway, though.

    But sure, yeah, thanks for your helpful illumination.



  • It’s google that’s gotten worse. It’s harder to find specific or niche information nowadays because Google doesn’t respect search operators and will instead show you the results for more common searches. That might be fine if you’re looking for general information, but it means that looking up specific facts (part numbers, error messages, etc.) they will drown you in SEO-optomized vague garbage results.

    I’d also love some alternatives to use for troubleshooting. I just want to find the niche forum posts where people are discussing my specific issue!
