Yes, DDG results have seen a major drop in quality in the past 4-6 months. It's been my primary search engine for several years now but I don't know if my loyalty can withstand such a drastic decline. Bing results must have taken a nosedive as well, but I don't use Bing so I can't compare.
Good callout. We shouldn't attribute intent, experience, or any other human characteristics, to software.
I have an older friend that has no idea that his laptop uses Windows. He just wants to be able to browse Craigslist for cars and junk. Seems like he has to get a new laptop every two years because his "old one got too slow". I should do something like this for him. He'd never know the difference.
I may be stupid, but I want to learn.
Wanting to learn is the least stupid thing there is.
Not anymore.
Right now, Jellyfin is still too buggy and feature-poor for my tastes. I can't imagine trying to convince my friends and family to use it instaed of Plex. Jellyfin shows a lot of promise though. Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm comfotable making the switch. I suppose Plex might force my hand before that.
Precisely. I don't want or use any of those features. I've disabled all the streaming service and friend stuff, I don't ever use the watchlist, and I use Tautulli for watch history. I don't even really care about watch history either. I mostly set up Tautulli because I like self-hosting stuff.
Depending on your router you can forward all request on port 53 to your DNS server regardless of the IP they try to use.
Sing along kids! Mr. Ghosty the Christmas troll...
For a long time, I would occasionally use my personal phone to check work email and Slack when I had to be out-of-office for an errand. They created a new policy last month that would force me to have a "work" profile on my phone if I wanted to continue using those apps. Fuck that. Instead I removed every work related app from my phone.
"Sorry boss, I can't check my messages while waiting at my doctor's office anymore.Why? Oh, because IT policies won't let me."
Games are not a fundamental right. Artists should make art that reflects their values.
I'd still be on the Pixel 5a 5G if it wasn't for the screen dying (a common issue with that model). I loved that phone. In battery saver mode it would last 3-4 days with light use.
