This. One of the reasons I couldn’t use DDG for more than a week, and I still kept using !g inbetween. Kagi is the way to go for me.

I wouldn’t mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho

Pretty sure both of them have something to benefit from in this scenario. Knowing how often they partner up, might be true. Most likely Samsung will just give up the feature name and favor Google’s option as a transparent replacement. Google gets the feature name, Samsung gets to brag it is now compatible with all other Android devices. Ez.

Here goes: Earth isn’t flat.

I’d personally at least give them a chance. Defederating is a pretty easy process and can be performed at any point in time. At least some Threads users may as well get to know about Lemmy and switch to it.

Upd: yes I do understand many people don’t trust Meta and neither do I. But I also understand lots and lots of users here are using anonymous accounts, and federation information is already public to begin with. Combining the fact that Fediverse may gain more than it may lose, including more users, original content, recognition and etc, I generally think it’s worth the risk. I am generally content with any decision, just sharing my two pennies of thought.

Nothing even gets better and everything seems to have been better before. This is how it generally rolls.

Well, thank you, now I’m creating that exact macro in every company repo where send/sendto is used.

Best explanation of congestion I’ve seen in a while

WinRAR attitude, I respect that o7

And Kagi just lists it as the first result when searching for “tpb”. Hope they’re not jumping on the train any time soon

Apparently, not anymore: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-exynos-no-rebranding-3389743/

They kinda miss the point why people don’t like Exynos.

Not only it’s generally inferior, but you also pay the same for the worse product which also has the same name. And it depends on where you live, lol.

I wouldn’t mind existence of Exynos in, let’s say, S21 Ultra, if it was either cheaper, or there was a legit choice which version to purchase, or even better, both. I definitely dislike paying full price for worse product with no realistic choice, and the name doesn’t matter at all.

If they existed for tons of random usecases. When was the last time you created views for “just in case someone asks” situations?

As a former Arch/Debian enjoyer on all my rigs in between 2012-2017, I can say several things but they might be outdated as of now. I haven’t rechecked it so here goes the list of things at that age:

• Anything remotely related to Nvidia, especially if you had switchable laptop graphics. Running games was a nightmare and a coin flip. Sometimes you can get games to work, but you got an awful screen tearing even in OS, sometimes it’s vice versa.

• PulseAudio was problematic. Sometimes booting the pc up resulted into missing audio output or input, or both. Sometimes, under heavy load, lots of audio was crackling until PulseAudio server was rebooted. Rebooting PulseAudio required restarting many apps so they even produce sound.

• Drove away for like 2 months, came back to dead Arch install after updating it. Switched to Debian cause I realized I value stability over newer stuff. Until I bought newer hardware which just didn’t work at all, can’t recall what that was to be honest.

• At least during 2012-2015-ish, any browser scrolling was jittery. Like, any. I heard it’s fixed right now but every time I used to boot Windows, it was completely different web experience.

• As soon as I started using laptops, I noticed that my battery was draining like 2-3 times as fast. Shouldn’t be an issue nowadays I hope.

• Printing was hell of a nightmare. Especially when I tried bringing my laptop to the office printer.

• Probably also related to Nvidia, but still: connecting external monitors never yielded out-of-the-box experience I expected to see. Nothing used proper resolution, scaling or refresh rates. Lots of things required manual configuration every time.

• Office software in general. Thank god most people switched to web alternatives right now.

• Back in 2012-ish years, Flash was still common and it generally refused to work in many distros. Especially with Nvidia graphics.

There are plenty more reasons I decided to ditch Linux on my workstations and the ones above are just “honorable mentions”. The biggest thing I found myself doing is tinkering with my setup much more than doing actual work.

So currently I just use a Windows laptop and WSL when I need local Linux. And of course I monitor and configure hundreds of Linux machines at work. I also have a Macbook Pro 16 mainly for iOS apps debugging and watching movies in bed.

I can say I’m currently neutral to Linux, Mac and Windows these days. They have their own use cases for me and they all allow me to reach my goals in their own way. Just getting best of each world, I guess?

I live in Georgia (the country) and I am speaking mostly of internet experience. Yeah it could include non-native speakers, that’s why I mentioned “most people I know”. I still prefer the way you mentioned as it’s much clearer anyway.

No 12/24h, only unix timestamps.

On a serious note, anything that other people understand works. 6-oh-five isn’t a mistake but I generally hear “5 past 6” from most people.

Whatever Alexa says is probably meant to be localizable to other languages as well.

Or just set expiration time for old tabs for people that don’t bother with closing manually. 1 week should be totally more than enough.

Stop. Bypassing. Our. Filters. Please.

Thanks for mentioning Kagi! I’ve been looking for some Google/DDG replacement but every single one I’ve tried had some sort of dealbreaking drawback for me. Google collects all my data and heavily filters my results, DDG provides dogshit results most of the time I don’t even bother using it, Startpage is awfully slow, and I didn’t even get to understand what Searx is as looking for it led me to some random ugly pages.

Subbed for 1 year 10 bucks plan. Works super-fast on mobile too. Hell yeah!

100% agree. At least we can tag people (unsure if it’s client-side feature of Sync or whatever), so there’s that.
