I mean I guess it makes some sense. Linux Subsystem for Windows to the uninitiated might sound like it “comes from the Linux brand”, whilst Windows Subsystem for Linux sounds more like its made by Windows.

It seems that Google just gave them back the permission, 2 days after they publicly complained about it and after 6 months of ignoring it. What scumbags.

I higly doubt they generate a custom ad per viewer, it’s probably per show which can be re-used.

Late reply but: Ecosia lets you choose between Google or Bing, but I guess that isn’t really your point. The main thing is it anonymises your searches, so you do get some additional privacy. Additionally, the hope is that one day they build their own index. They just recently announced that they’re gonna start one with Qwant.

Late to reply but: from what I heard, Kagi is really good at search (at least when it comes to filters and the such, not sure about base results), but it’s paid so that’s a disadvantage (and also a plus since you don’t get ads nor is your data being sold off), and it’s US based. DuckDuckGo also uses Bing but I guess they have more sources than just them. In my experience it’s about the same, maybe a bit better on DDG, both have shebangs (! for DDG, # for Ecosia) which I find extremely useful.

I disagree. There are many situations where a truck is better suited for transport than a train. The US already has a pretty large freight train network. I agree that there definitely should be more investment in rail as well, but there’s no reason for both not to exist at the same time.

This is a concept for a hydrogen powered robot for 2050. There is no shot they’re developing this and even if they are it’s literally a quarter of a century from now. This is just marketing BS.

Yeah but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Among other things, they just recently announced that they’re starting to build an alternative index with Qwant.

Yeah and it’s also probably pretty small runs, so that’d make it even more expensive. I feel like it’s a fair price for what it is, would never buy it myself tho.

Cuz other self driving cars use LIDAR so it’s basically impossible for them to not realise that a bike is there.

I mean honestly, feature wise, it’s pretty good in my opinion. It has some very useful features Signal lacks (e.g. live location sharing) and it’s not slow or badly designed in my opinion.

I still prefer Signal since I don’t like Facebook, but realistically speaking WhatsApp is pretty good.

From my understanding, there are apparently newer studies that seem to indicate that it isn’t good for kids, but it’s not extremely bad either, just not good. However, more research is needed and people want to stop fluoridating water just to be safe (realistically you’re probably getting more than enough for your teeth from toothpaste)

Yeah but I think the UWP version was the only version that didn’t have the stupid bug where your handwritten notes would move around randomly after you exited the notebook sometimes. Idk if they fixed that but last time I checked it was a very old bug known to exist in the other version and only work in that version.

Wait, the basic version has a compas and barometer without a heart rate monitor, but the more expensive one has a heart rate monitor and no barometer or compass? Why?

There’s no point in blocking everything. I’m interested in what’s happening with Trump and the US, with Tesla, the occasional Linux news, but when my feed is 90% “Why Linux is actually good”, “Musk/Trump bad”, “Tesla shares in EU down again” for the fifth time, it gets annoying. Blocking stuff is too crude a tool.

It still has some of the same problems as the comic, though not to the same extent, it doesn’t need to be a standard for the comic to make sense, it’s also about market share. Having yet another browser has the potential of diluting the market and making people just go for the default.

This is my personal take. As long as you’re careful and thoughtful whenever using them, they can be extremely useful.

“How to confront a cheating husband”
That actually makes sense as a way to die, I just need to become gay now.

Personaly those shortcuts are a feature I literally never use so much so I don’t even register their existence anymore.
