In my experience, DDG has less relevant results than Google most of the time, but will occasionally end up being way better than Google if you're looking for something that goes against corporate interests. It's a lot easier to find free movie sites and whatnot on DDG.

If the purge happened IRL and there were no laws for a while, I wouldn't go around causing mayhem or hurting people, but there wouldn't be any billboards left in my neighborhood by morning. Fuck advertisers and doubly fuck the ones that don't even provide an actual service. Ads in exchange for online services are annoying as fuck, but ads you don't even consent to should be illegal.

Nobody likes ads! Not even advertisers, apparently. Maybe that money should go elsewhere!

So fix the circumstances. Use federal funding to bring equality to the public school system and broaden SNAP to cover more disadvantaged people and provide them with a greater level of assistance.

So your answer to institutional racism is more institutional racism? Making sure an under-qualified kid gets into college instead of a well-qualified kid because the latter had the wrong skin color isn't going to make up for the racism experienced by other people who happen to have the same skin color as the under-qualified kid.

Did you just... admit to doing it on purpose, tell me to fuck off, delete both the duplicate and abrasive comment, and then finally claim that it was an app glitch?

Just general recording snippets of things to send to people. A non-maximized window is a different size from a maximimized window, which is also a different size from a full screen window.

DeSantis would be worse. Competent evil VS flailing baby.

Why are you copy-pasting the same comment on multiple posts?

OBS works well, but it's anything but simple. You basically have to reconfigure it every time you want to record something with a different window size. It's a pain in the ass.

Ooh, smart. They're obviously not very smart, I wouldn't be surprised if they straight up forgot to scan bios.

It's probably just cheap ingredients. Not an issue for replicators.

Characters on the show also mention on multiple occasions that certain foods don't taste as good when replicated.

A big part of the Trek universe is that it's supposed to represent a society that has overcome the limitations imposed upon it by greed, oppression, and hate.

I mostly agree with you except the libertarian part. Is that a misspeech or something? The Federation is pretty far from being (economically) Libertarian.

Sorry, I don't remember which episode. I'm pretty sure it was in season 1.

One thing that would probably work for news sites that I haven't seen would be to give subscribers access to articles a day or so earlier than non-subscribers. No article limit or anything like that, decent freedom of information, and minimal incentive to make clickbait bullshit that nobody will subscribe to.

Reminds me of that crazy scene from Picard where they get holographic popup ads on their ship.

It might just be my crazy conspiracy theory brain, but I feel like they're trying to normalize advertising in a supposedly idyllic and utopian future society to make us see them as more of a necessity than they actually are. Same thing with Raffi living in poverty and Picard having private ownership of the means of production (his vineyard) with employees. So much for that "money-free socialist utopia."

There's a setting to switch the style from iOS to Android.

Voyager is also on android, for anyone reading and getting the wrong idea.
