The fastest Google product kill right there.

Could have been a great Dex alternative.

This site used to be my go to for news and technology updates.

I consider it to be the front page of all front pages.

Says ChatGPT

Never tried the fallback option.

DDG has been working fine for me. But I am inclined to use Google search in a separate container in Firefox.

Working from Home is a must, and spending quality time with the loved ones.

Climbing the corporate ladder isn't my priority now anymore. I am more interested in work that pays for my hobbies and spending time with my loved ones.

I get my searched done 90% through DuckDuckGo.

Unfortunately for much more specific searches, Google still gets those results better than DDG.

For long term storage at home, HDDs are the way to go.

It’s not a google thing specifically to be honest. Tapping into phones happened way before android was a thing.

Smartphones, both android and iOS, just make it easier for them to tap.

Syncthing.

Amazing that you could sync your android phone's data to a PC locally. No cloud drive needed.

I still remember that day when they used excel sheets to record who was COVID positive. They thought they won't have more than 65000 cases ಠᴗಠ

Air fryer. Honestly, this thing just makes cooking easier. I don't need to stand in front of the oven or grill to make something. Just bung stuff in and come back in 15 mins.

Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.

Top game. Great article too.

Played this game far too many times. And still don't mind playing it again.

That's true. There are a lot of fringe types of users here that aren't interesting (weed, curries, conspiracy stuff, etc). General average Joe discussions aren't much here tbh.

I do enjoy privacy and Foss discussions, but another issue here is that alot of posts are either reposts by users, or bots. You can check that same post on Reddit and you will see a lot of comments around it. Some positive and others negative but still higher in numbers.

The playstore is just flooded with garbage apps.

Once my apps are installed, the play store is only there for updates. Searching for new apps on the store is just rubbish.

Consolidation is another thing. There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Content diversity seems like it slowed down. Back when the Reddit exodus happened about of niche communities were created. A lot of them have been abandoned now.

Lemony is still good as it’s tech and privacy centric (which I love). But the excess of US related news, furry stuff, commie/cappie arguments are everywhere. You can always block communities and instances but it gets tiring after some time.

Honestly, once a Microsoft OS goes end of life, it becomes a great offline machine to run older software and games.

Guaranteed not to be pissed around with Microsoft updates.

Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.

That's actually a compact disc compared to the previous laser disc.
