 I need a search engine that’s less spam shit than Google, but displays more useful results than DuckDuckGo. Does it exist?

 Now, this?

THIS is tech for good.

Unsurprised about the "supportive" organisations only thinking about their own self, proud of badlogic and friends for continuing on alone.

But, as we see, you can do absolutely all of the work and have irrefutable proof of wrongdoing, and one dude, a conservative in government, can say "no".

And yet not even he can stop the ball from rolling.

THIS is tech for good
THIS is direct action

 Serious question, as I am no longer the wide-eyed mid level dev who ranhad to work with GraphQL:

What does it do that REST can't? Why was 2018 like "omg GraphQL!!!!". Ive been in CRUD land most of my career, happily there now. 

But I realised all the things I was told are the selling points of GQL, aren't really, true? In the sense that they were always sold to me as "better than REST in every way". 

I like CRUD 🤷‍♂️
