Google used to be the ultimate engine 15 years ago. Now it’s the same 5 sites and 10 ads over and over.

I’ll get on it as soon as I finish this job

So I guess “blatant” is the type.

https://www.slax.org/ It’s easy, is a full featured desktop, and has persistence on your USB stick.

There are some communities that never transitioned to Lemmy, so I’ll be using them untill old.reddit is disabled.

This is my favorite way to deal with management.

So you want me to disable a safety feature to help speed up production?

I leeched when I was on limited bandwidth now I am the sole peer for about a dozen hard to find torrents. Balance in all things.

I don’t know the standard but if Google is involved you know they are going to be pushing people to use their own ‘extensions’ of the standard to lock both the hosts and users into their ecosystem. It’s the same thing as Microsoft’s ActiveX making sites IE only in the early 2000s.

The sites are broken, FireFox doesn’t break them. They make the choice to use non-standard features.

It was spelled out more clearly in the comics. They even trained human minds to do tasks that the machines could not/did not want to do.

f. Its an app. The lowest form of tech after the clay tablet.

Since when? Boomers will click anything you send them, Gen X think they are too clever to be phished on their XP desktop, and Millennials will give you their entire credit history for $50 off a streaming service. The majority of every generation doesn’t give a shit about digital privacy.

iDevices are a cult. Same as Facebox, Instapot and TicTac.

Did you have a Razor? Best phone I ever had.

Fuck them. Life should be hard for the lazy and ignorant.

Dude, I work with a bunch of kids who have_never_owed_a_computer, either an iPhone or iPad from birth until their 20s. Having to explain how to use a computer to some one 15 years younger than me make me want to rip out my rapidly greying beard.

Thanks, that gives me a direction for searching.

Good point, I’m running uBlock and NewTab. uBlock is blocking a single request/element from startrek.website but that’s it.

Snip snip. No antenna, no network.

36, Canadian, 10/10 would recommend. Winter driving is way more fun with manual, and it can be a lot easier on gas if you’re in the mood.

I have one of their all-in-one colour toner machines for my GF’s business, it’s awesome. Scanning to an SFTP share means she can just feet a stack of paper into it and get a PDF in her Documents/Scans directory.

AND fun fact, there are no lasers in “laser printers” they all use 1D LED arrays to transfer the image data to the drum. Only the early toner based printers used a real laser and they were operating almost like a CRT, scanning a raster onto the drum.
