i find ddg sufficient for nearly everything. occasionally i will go to startpage or ecosia or mojeek for a different 'perspective', but that is not very often at all. i also use wolframalpha almost daily for some sort of calculation or conversion.

i haven't used google or bing except by accident when using someone else's browser or device (that is, when i forget to go to duck.com first).

we always had to go pick up the pizza! pizza!, unless we were goin' to super-k, which had little caesars inside with a dining area.

pretty sure that anything-but-the-truth social site and stock market sham also has mention of that name.

"russia, if you're listening..."

tl;dr: "he's only supposed to be hurting them, not me too".

the meme originated from tumblr. the quote itself is older than color tv.

a tale of two americas.

if you're a typical cybertruck owner, it's in the shop or you're waiting for service, and you're driving your absolutely necessary backup car.

if its an addon doing it, wouldn't a string like 'googlebot' be in a readable file in the addons dir or one of its xpi (zip) files?

it's a two minute movie. doesn't even get through the opening titles before autopilot crashes and kills the occupants.

vice president donald.

this congress? the majority is drunk on the maga juice, the minority is a disorganized mess still in shock. and combined, the vast majority is bought and paid for by those who stand to gain the most from this shitshow.

that would be funny, won't happen--but funny af. google loses chrome, new owners revert mv2's removal and go all-in on user control of their browser experience.

so, he's gonna put a 10-15% tariff on all imports? everything?

that would do just one thing, get every other country trading ONLY with each other---and NOT the u.s.

i expect at least the 'big' 'non megacorp' chromium based ones like vivaldi, opera, brave to keep mv2 as long as it is possible.

but i can totally see google doing some serious mangling of the codebase to make patching-in mv2 difficult.

i was able to load it in a (not chrome) chromium-based browser without issue, just the notice across the addon's page.

the 'lite' version is also on there, seems to work 'ok'. adguard and a few others are also there--they must all be mv3, as only the full ubo has the warning notice on its page of those i checked.

all the mv3 ones run the risk of having updates rejected or delayed by google, especially if they contain code or filter updates (filters must be packed with the addon in mv3) to combat changes google makes to their own sites. firefox or a trusted customized build or maintained fork is the way to go now.

they said, 'Can you imagine? I'm [you're] not going to be president. And that's too bad.' And what happened is, they rigged the election, and I became president. So that was a good thing, that was a good thing, that was quite an achievement for both of us. So I'll be president during the World Cup.

absolutely referring to 2024 here. no doubt whatsoever.

i've been half-expecting them to roll-out drm for everything including cat videos and shit for awhile now.

It was sold by Amazon itself rather than a third-party seller, which is often the case with these sorts of fake items.

The fact that the packaging was sealed and the CPU was unused suggests that this was not one of those instances in which someone bought an item and replaced it with a fake before sending it back for a refund.

co-mingled inventory strikes again.

which piece first?

i usually go for the ends and work my way to the middle.
