There’s no such a thing as “too much Scarlett Johansson”

It’s similar to AI regurgitated crap.

Great piece of software!

I’m almost 50 and I surely know about modern tech and FOSS. Age is not the problem here. Ignorance is.

Best Fucking DE

Yeah. But you don’t get upvotes so easily by not shouting “Google bad!”.

Everybody with basic reading abilities already knew that “incognito” is just “not saving stuff locally”. Sites can track you regardlessly. With any browser.

AFAIK !g on DDG doesn’t proxy anything.

Don’t try to bring logic here. The hivemind can’t be beaten.

It’s free just because someone else pays for you (I’m one of these "someone"s, I own one of the instances at searx. space). Unless you host you own instance at your own expenses.

The anti-Brave idiocy/hysteria is getting out of hand on the Fedi. And everybody knows it’s mostly virtue signaling anyway.

Did you live?!

Not sure

Statistically, flying on a 737MAX is safer than driving – by such a huge margin that it isn’t even funny.

The news cycle, on the other hand, is feeding hysteria because clicks. Seriously, more people die driving to and from the airport than they do on planes. By a huge margin. But because they’re spread out into multiple tiny events…

I know, I was just kidding, of course. OTOH, for some unknown reason I’m slightly afraid of traveling by plane (generally speaking), so I avoid reading about these stuff at all. These “news” only enhance my irrational fear.

Managing repositories in GitHub is some kind of arcane magic to me.

Not an expert, but AFAICT email self hosting is not considered a good idea, as the maintenance of an email server requires a lot of work. An alternative could be using Cloudflare for the DNS and set up email routing (for free).

True, I forgot about that.

Just discovered that my flight on 7/1 was a MAX. Oh well…

1. Check out afraid.org and learn how to set up DDNS.
2. I’ve been using afraid.org for a long time with no issues. I don’t know IPQuick.
3. Real domains can be REALLY cheap if you don’t need something fancy. Just go to https://tld-list.com/ and sort for “cheapest renewal”.

I understand that. Unfortunately, though, one has to expect always the worst from Corps, no matter how “good” they appear to be at the beginning.

Yeah, that’s an offer a man can’t refuse.

Domain+Zoho Mail Lite subscription (less than 1€/month, ATM).

never give a corporation your labour for free.

People should have known this from the beginning.
