It definitely has some campy/quacky parts, but I think the underlying idea of The Power of Now is worth contemplating: the emptiness is peace, and it is rather the ego that derives despair from an inability to assert over or distract from it.

From the Wikipedia summary:

However, the absurd can never be permanently accepted: it requires constant confrontation, constant revolt.

The manual is a good place to start. It's just GNU Readline under the hood.

Yeah, I use it as a fallback sometimes. The one thing I like about Presearch is that it has a customizable sidebar that let's you duplicate your search on another engine with one click if the results are shite. I also use Allsearch to that end but with Presearch it's synced across computers through my account.

I use Presearch and generally the results are good enough for my use. Just block the ads and ignore the crypto scam. Seirdy also has a pretty exhaustive list of search engines to choose from.

I have some bad news for you about cars…

To be fair, McDonald's also does coffee, but you can get any size there for a dollar in the morning which is hard to beat for a shitty cup of coffee.

There't something about your username that sounds…gruesome…

I just skimmed it too and it reeks of slop…

You're right, although my understanding is that there are a lot of poorly implemented scrapers for AI services unintentionally DDoSing websites with requests, so Anubis is more of a mitigation against those.
