  • Since the Snoopocalypse I’ve been using it MUCH more. I’m as surprised as anyone, but without Reddit, Google is complete hot garbage. I used to use Google 95% of the time and didn’t realize how many times I gave up and added “reddit” in the query. It’s unusable.

    Out of principle, I’ve made SearXNG my default, but I don’t shun Bing at all now. I occasionally use DDG, but anything relatively technical just doesn’t come up much there.



  • If the surface is flat enough, start with a scraper. One of those single edged replaceable blade deals. That’ll quickly take off 90%, if not all of it. If the blade gets sticky and you want to made another pass, wipe it off with some oil (basically any, even olive oil). Then go for the other suggestions, like rubbing the sticker with oil and alcohol.

    This works much quicker than just oil and alcohol, BUT the surface has to be flat. If it isn’t flat, it has to be non-razor-blade-damage-vulnerable material.








  • “I don’t mean to spez, but I don’t agree…” (I’m not trying to be an asshole, but…)

    “Lemmy say…” (my opinion is…)

    “And L’Emmy for best performance goes to…” (praise a good comment)

    “Let me provide a cool glass of Lemmy-aid for you.” (I’m giving a friendly bit of unsolicited advice.)

    “Quite the CaLemmyTea!” (A big disagreement or negative event (catastrophe) that ended in a surprisingly civil way (like over a good cup of tea.))


  • I’m generally a Windows user, but on the verge of doing a trial run of Fedora Silverblue (just need to find the time). It sounds like a great solution to my… complicated… history with Linux.

    I’ve installed Linux dozens of times going back to the 90s (LinuxPPC anyone? Yellow Dog?), and I keep going back to Windows because I tweak everything until it breaks. Then I have no idea how I got to that point, but no time to troubleshoot. Easily being able to get back to a stable system that isn’t a fresh install sounds great.
