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.

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.
16·1 year agoI wonder if this is part of the reason Chevy dropped Android Auto and Carplay. Can’t lose out on data collection.
1·1 year agoAhh, 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.
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
4·1 year agoThis 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 think you’re either stuck writing a custom script or uploading to an online service that can do the mass update, then back out all your data. I had lastpass then ditched them after the breach when they didn’t clearly communicate user impact. The auto change password functionality was hit or miss for me, so if you go this route make sure you get the functionality you need from a company you can trust.
Though if you do this once with strong unique passwords, you shouldn’t have to do a mass update again, right?
This seems to be going as planned. But why?
It seems like we’ve all lost the plot. We’d probably be willing to view ads if the experience wasn’t literally jarring. Try browsing for a day on a plain-no-extension browser. If you use other web enhancement tools kill those too. Straight-up internet is cancer, especially on mobile.
It’s impossible to read a 250-word article without being interrupted 5-7 times. Two of those interruptions are likely a full page overlay with give me your email, and are you sure you don’t want to subscribe, just give me your credit card number.
Then there are auto-play videos on the side, some with audio on by default. I mean I came here to read something, so of course we have things flashing and moving and making noise, it’s the most conducive environment for thought, right?
Ad blockers and script blocking are essentially a hazmat suit that allows us to withstand a hostile environment. Remember when we said myspace pages with audio and [marching-ants] borders was a bad UX? At least we didn’t have overlays back then.
Go back to basics and consider what makes a good vs bad internet experience. The reality sounds like someone with a minor case of severe brain damage. I think we’ve just become unashamed of greed as a society. It’s clearly all just about money.
Those annoying customers/users generate content and we have to put up with them so we can monetize it. *Sadly, It’s unclear if I’m talking about youtube, reddit, or nearly any other site.
Le sigh.
I couldn’t agree more!
In effort to try to add value to posting, I found a mobile app for iPhone. It’s clearly in beta. I’m not associated with them at all, and I hope they don’t mind me posting the results of my Brave search.
