caprine VS Yacy

If you have access to the source, package.json will have several entries for electron packages. Example.

Second was a small CSS change in a popular project, Caprine. I really had a long back and forth with the maintainer about two seemingly simple changes in a style sheet and I realized I should have been linting my code changes and I learned how to find the css elements I meant to target, it was a small step forward. https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/pull/1933 You can still see the remainder of a bunch of requested changes.

The second issue that I wanted to take on I wanted to upgrade from a markdown change like in my first PR. In this second PR I set out to find a small code change to make. After staring at the issue board for an hour or two I finally came across one that I was surprised was not taken. I found this open source Facebook messenger app called Caprine. This was and still is really cool to me, the opportunity to work on something that was so well put together and much larger than my previous project.

Caprine - Nezvanična Facebook Messenger aplikacija za Windows, macOS i Linux - Electron, TypeScript, CSS

I too have faced issues with it on Firefox in the past and moved on to an open source application called Caprine. Works pretty well on Windows/MacOS/Linux.

There in an open source program for Linux/Windows, called Caprine, it's on GitHub ( https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine ). It has also a portable version for Windows on https://portapps.io , if you are on a machine that's managed by the company you work for (it's like that for me). It's like the official Messenger app for the desktop, but Messenger came out later.

There's an alternative Messenger Client : Caprine

If you absolutely have to use Facebook Messenger, perhaps you could try a free and open-source client like Caprine, which is for desktop, but there was another one for mobile as well, I just don't remember the name of it (as I personally don't use it / have the need to use Facebook Messenger).

I never actually "solved" this, but I switched to Caprine and I'm no longer having any problems. It actually works much better than the official app (it lets you send audio files, etc).

It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.

In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.

Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.

It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).

> Now I just need some kind of open source search engine to run on it ...

Here you go: https://yacy.net

I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.

Admarus is similar as Yacy but aims to be distributed where Yacy is federated. Both are made for the web

You should check out https://yacy.net: a global, P2P web search engine, where each peer can build and share its own index, etc.

I also have an instance of Yacy installed, which I use to index the entire system, giving me my own private, internal search engine.
