Unprivileged users are stuck with cancer. Life ain’t fair.

DDG isn’t the only alternative to Google. I use Kagi and love it. The results IME are definitely better than Google’s.

I think if you were to ask “most people” about which search engine they prefer, they wouldn’t really understand the question. I remember in highschool a teacher asked someone what operating system they have at home, and she replied “I think it’s Microsoft Office”.

Tech people tend to severely overestimate non-tech peoples’ understanding of tech.

In the future, Google will create a chatbot doppelganger of you and use it to recommend products to your friends and family.

It’s the least greasy browser that actually works with the modern web.

Nope. I have some that I used as a kid, and sometimes I reuse them when I can’t think of a new one for some throwaway service.

The idea of having an alternate online persona doesn’t appeal to me at all, nor does the idea of being well known or recognized in general. I don’t go out of my way to remain untraceable or anything cool like that, but switching up usernames every once in a while is easy to do.

Brother that is a wild fucking story. Write that shit down and turn it into a Netflix true crime mini-series.

I don’t think that’s what the person you’re replying to meant, but to answer your question, yes you can via Wine (or Proton, I guess)

It may sound glib

I prefer KDE, but to each their own.

Connect a printer and have it just work.

As always, you gotta know both so that you can pick the right tool for the job.

When I deleted my reddit account many years ago, my productivity skyrocketed. It has now dipped considerably since I started using Lemmy, so I’ll probably stop doing that soon.

It’s not just the extra time you get from not using the site; there’s a very real effect on my ability to focus on tasks when I don’t have Reddit/Lemmy as an escape hatch.

I thought that losing my 10yo+ account would hurt, but it turned out that I didn’t give a shit.

You’re telling me that when I hump a chicken breast from the supermarket that that counts as beastiality?! Wokeness has no limits smh.

Or my grandfather.

Idk, but not anything that uses delta compression like git does.

Game developers use Perforce and Plastic scm which is (supposedly) optimized for images and other binary assets. I’ve never used them, but I’m sure a less-overkill and open source alternative exists somewhere.

Don’t use git for images (or most other binary data)
