I’d like to use SearXNG as well but experience the same - I’ve tried a lot of different instances and settings but I always seem to get worse results than searching directly in the source search engine, for some reason? (note I don’t use Kagi so this isn’t an endorsement for them either)

Where did I say anything that implied otherwise?

Illegal street racing, being more of a calculated act, seems marginally worse morally. Of course it goes without saying that’s not to defend drunk driving.

I see them around all the time these days. I wouldn’t dream of buying a car that says ‘build your dreams’ on it but that’s not on all models.

Fast can mean moving with great speed or fixed securely in place (among other things).

Yeah, I’m sure you’re right, my comment about transformers I guess was more about colloquial usage, i.e. rightly or wrongly we called DC power supplies transformers in the 90s. I also don’t know how local that was, maybe it was just my family!

I’d call them USB adapters; “chargers” is probably slightly more common though never sat right with me since they can be used to power things other than charging.

Or more in the past we would call any kind of power adapters “transformers” but don’t seem to hear that much any more.

It wouldn’t be a free software licence by the FSF definition (rule zero). Of interest the FSF rejects the original JSON licence because it contains the clause “The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” Since Mastodon uses AGPL, it wouldn’t be compatible.

That’s a really misleading headline; a Mastodon instance has done this, Mastodon as a whole can’t do this because it’s free software, it can be used for any purpose.
