Wouldn’t that be known as a land contract?

I’m not bothering to dig it back up, but I thought I remember something like it was based on a policy when a verified user changes their logo. The verification was put back once reverified. Stupid, yes, but if policy it makes more sense.

I’m not big on defending Xitter, but IF this is uniformly handled, this is the least of our reasons to get torches and pitchforks after them.

To stay away from the influence of google’s business practices and their influence on chromium.

If that’s the case foxnews would like cut out most of the challenge. I’m not old enough to have adult children yet but I still have a hard time grasping news channels are entertainment venues.

News used to be actual news done by reporters. It had credibility and a degree of respect. This shift has been near impossible for my parents generation

Not sure if it would meet your requirements, but if specific enough to your phones current control capabilities; would a shortcut or automation app meet your needs. I seem to remember them being able to prompt for input. It might be a more COTS approach for you depending on your needs.

Must be. I had difficulties with it at one point, and I ended up living at the URL from some search results and was able to figure out what it wanted. I thought the missing slash might have been your issue.

Try:

https://www.qwant.com/?q=%s

I think Qwant is as close as you’re going to get unless you can set up searchxng to do what you are asking.

Now, you might be able to get better diversity in results if you use a vpn to move to more diverse or contrasting cities.

I often find news sources external to the US to be very interesting insights to what we see rammed down our throats.

Daily driver: Qwant

Niche searches: kagi

Not privacy friendly— Ai: perplexity.ai

I wonder if this is part of the reason Chevy dropped Android Auto and Carplay. Can't lose out on data collection.

Ahh, got it. That’s a feature I never used.

Do you need an email for it? I thought you could still use it without being logged in.

My bad, I guess I failed reading comprehension today.

Glad it got identified and worked out well.

I’d recommend not picking up any snakes you can’t identify.

Does eastern Michigan have anything venomous? Copperhead maybe?

I used perplexity.ai to get this which gives a couple sources you may want to consider.

According to various sources, including DistroWatch and Tecmint, the most popular Linux distributions in 2023 are: Linux Mint Manjaro Ubuntu Debian Fedora Zorin OS Solus Elementary OS Arch Linux CentOS

This must be very regional. Additionally, I’d bet a lot of this might depend on industry.

Someone who’s hourly might have fluctuations in their hours over a set period of time, like a month, or even week to week.

Seems like a number should always be coupled with a unit.

Qwant and kagi have been a great pair. Brave search was good, but they had some controversy a bit back.

I didn’t click the link, it felt scammy. Did I pass?

I’m with you. I’m a seasoned newbie, and I’m ok with config as long as I can find something to help me get through it where I’m. It completely lost and the guide isn’t 30 pages of gibberish that only makes sense to someone helping build and maintain the source/branch.

I do love the familiarity of a gui as it lets me be “lazy”.

That said I started on Ubuntu, didn’t really like gnome, tried kububtu, was meh on it. Then got to dislike cannological. I’m currently using mint, and have tried several distros as a vm. Fedora and Debian are 2 I’m trying to understand better.

That said arch and gentoo both seem like distros beyond my skill set, and I think I’d struggle with them as I don’t feel like the communities align with my needs. I feel like I should get better at stripping out what I don’t need in my distro before I start bare and build up finding only what I need.

The cool part of Linux is it’s kinda hard to go wrong with the choice as a platform. Picking the distro has been a harder choice to find what community aligns to my needs. So virtualbox, ‘kinda’ to the rescue.

I just try to buy clothes that can take the abuse. Once the bright colors get washed a few times, everything goes in together. Whites get bleached in their own cycle on occasion. It’s worked out goods enough.

This just isn’t where I’m willing to dedicate my time and energy.

Cleaning has always been a good enough type activity… I try to hold back a bit, or I’d be on everything with a tooth brush getting it perfect.
