In a chat I ma in someone made the same point with "having sex with your coworkers is bad: a novel hash weakening technique"

First off, do not buy a blue yeti, ever. They are microphones specifically marketed towards streamers with disposable income and are, all told, Not Great.

Unfortunately, the fact you don't want a microphone right in front of your mouth, your budget, and your needs are at odds, so you'll have to compromise on one element. You're already compromising on the needs, so that's out, and you have 2 options:

• a condenser microphone is the search term you're looking for, but they require being quite close to your mouth if you want to avoid ambient noise. They generally require an external amplificator to connect to a PC, and that's costly, but I think you could fit both in $100. A condenser mic that claims to not need an external amp is probably not really a condenser mic (though they exist, they're expensive)

• the alternative is a shotgun mic. These don't need to be right in front of your mouth due to wave dynamics engineered to only capture sound in front of them. They're frequently used on cameras, to capture the sound in front of it but not behind. They're also really expensive and will definitely need external amplification.

Unfortunately for you, this exact problem is of particular interest to pretty much only people who have "a Sony a7 is an amateur camera" money, so all solutions are quite expensive.

Because this is a safe space, not connected to my real life identity.

Doesn't this mean that the system is never up to date? If so, please don't.

This is precisely what the "much privacy, muh data" crowd was warning us us against. I try to avoid saying I'm queer online, because there's a very real chance my government turns fascist and asks google/facebook/whatever for a list, and they haven't given me a reason to think they wouldn't give that list without thinking about it twice.

Bah tiens il viennent d'annoncer une feature pour les utilisateurs payants, qui fait que si t'as l'extension, non seulement tu n'a plus besoin du cookie, mais ça garantit cryptographiquement qu'ils ne peuvent pas associer ta recherche a ton compte

Je sais que je prêche un inconvertible mais tu admettras que la coïncidence est cocasse

All "machine à [...]" are female.

On dirait que c'est juste pas pour toi, mais il se trouve qu'il y a une parade a ce problème en particulier!

Dans les paramètres, tu peux copier une url qui contient un token de connexion, et donc l'utiliser dans les paramètres de recherche de ton navigateur. Comme ça, même si tu n'as plus de cookies la recherche fonctionne (oui, fondamentalement on vient de réinventer les cookies...).

Sorry, only spyware laden with ads is available currently at that price.

Je trouve le point sur kagi pas incroyable. Yandex est aussi utilisé dans d'autres (notamment DDG), je pense parce que leurs services d'indexage sont peu chers. Je trouve que le point de contention majeur de kagi c'est surtout que ça coûte 100 balles par an.

I mean, not necessarily your fault but at least you know someone could care to fix it, and you didn't spend $100 for the privilege.
