    The claim that Bluesky “verifies Nazis” because ICE got a blue check is peak absurdity—it’s a government agency enforcing immigration law, not goose-stepping brownshirts.

    Verification confirms identity/authenticity (anti-impersonation), not endorsement, letting users freely mute/block ICE while spotting fakes (pro/anti-ICE sock puppets).

    To the history blind people comparing ICE to Nazis, If ICE were “Nazis,” 2025 inauguration riots get crushed Day 1 with tanks, not due process.

    Reality: routine deportations ≠ death camps.


  • SearXNG is great but unfortunately Google frequently stops working as an engine in SearxNG because its anti-bot and rate‑limiting systems detect SearxNG traffic as automated scraping and either return CAPTCHAs, “access denied/suspended” messages, or HTTP 429 “too many requests” errors.

    Their devs admit that there’s no simple solution because Google actively hunts and stops this traffic once a fix is implemented. The other search engines still work but I tend to get irrelevant nonsense as results. I have started using StartPage and am pretty happy with it so far as another option for a metasearchengine.
