huh it turns out there's kind of a monopoly on blueberry scone premade mix and it's the exact brand i bought: https://custombakehouse.com/pages/sticky-fingers

i guess "premade blueberry scone mix" is such a niche market that there's only one major player

i can't find much on "custom foods" which made these even though they were founded in 1982

their privacy policy was last updated may 2014

my god.. this is truley a small and tiny business. i am a true "peoples man", an "opiate of the masses", when i buy from this small business...

you too can buyu Custom Bakehouse Bluebe rscone today

I'm curious, what does using Arch look like nowadays? How long does it take you to get from zero to working? Why did you start using it?

I've been using Linux for awhile but never dabbled in Arch. I'm curious, but I don't have much of a reason to try it

I have heard of it, but I'm wary because I see its name on Hackernews-eqsue / freezepeach / libertarian-techy crowds. These are minor "guilt-by-assocation' things though. I think a lot of us vaguely fit some or all of these categories, but it makes me worry it could turn out to be another of the myriad poorly-secured righty grifts.

The head of Kagi was VP of Product for GoDaddy for awhile, and also has ventures in blockchain email and precision drones (for cargo delivery?) These are also just minor flags. (I can't blame someone too much for optimistically heading a blockchain app six years ago.)

All in all, I love the idea in theory, but a search engine is a deeply personal thing that's hard to build trust in. Google is the devil I know, etc etc.

yeah this makes sense.

i came across the indiegogo because someone was selling one on a norwegian marketplace at a 95% loss.

jeez i almost feel bad about finding this kind of funny in the way it really elegantly paints a picture of the juicing situation
