@Deleted User do you still need assistance with this? I'd be happy to help.
I got it man, just went right from safari and changed the size. Now we just need to hang em!
Fantastic idea. Good job coming up with it.
Where in Nashville is it, if you don't mind me asking?
Looks like Edgehill, but it's not clear.
@Deleted User On the side of Bongo East in east Nash I
East Nashville, I should have known
I imagine it's 10x worse than it was in 2013
Bravo!
Nice

Excuse pic of a computer screen, btw, please
Today I was thinking about the possibility of an open source web search engine. One of the biggest criticisms that I think we on the alt-right have about tech companies is their obvious biases and google is no exception. However in trying to establish (and correct for) biases explicity it is hard to object to search engine results because it's hard to audit how those results were generated. For this reason I think web search engines being open source would be quite natural, because then people could defend/attack/suggest improvements to the methodology. In that vain I assumed I couldn't have been the first person to have thought of the idea of an open source web search engine before and it turns out there a handful. The first I found was https://www.gigablast.com
I searched "alt right" there and I think the results are better than google's.
I also found YaCy though I played with it less, it integrates being a search engine with also being P2P. https://yacy.net/en/ That's a nice feature though I wasn't even thinking that far when I first started on this research.
Of course with web search engines the code is only one piece of the puzzle, the other piece of the puzzle is what websites are indexed, i.e. what data is "the fodder" on which the web search is based.
I do wonder if there's any utility this tech could provide for the alt-right. I'm always interested in alt-tech.
@sigruna14 I know you're an alt-tech guru I would be interested in your hot take (and anyone else's)
YACY is a brilliant idea. Didn’t work too well for me but I think it’s in alpha still
Anything that furthers the glory of our movement is worthy, however, we have to get people to actually use it. I don't think most people use Google for their search. I think people use them for Chrome, maps, GMail, Smart Lock, Android etc, and the search just happens to integrate with all that. If we really want the take down Google, we need to replace their functionality.
@John O - Sorry for the delayed reply. What is it you're trying to do?
It's cool, talked to my cousin
Thanks @Deleted User
@Deleted User alright, so I'm installing Debian, and trying to install lxqt, but when I input apt install sudo lxqt, it says it can't find it
E: unable to locate package lxqt
“sudo” should be input before anything else. It indicates that the command should be run with root permissions.
So a good thing to try next would be ‘sudo apt-get install lxqt”
@John O -#7072
I botched the quotes but hopefully you get the idea
@Deleted User I did, and it said something along the lines of an unrecognized command. I'll get back to it later.
I’m not very familiar with Debian, but the next thing to try would be the same command, except type “apt” instead of “apt-get”
sudo apt-get me a GUI so I don’t have to deal with all this nonsense :p
