Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

It does though? Right under the search bar there should be a switch bar to turn on localized search, and a dropdown to pick different location.
Or is it itself location locked?

“gui’s are for idiots”. It was rather unpleasant experience, especially with jpeg quality.

I checked original video, and sadly it’s fake.
A loss, really.

Matter is not destroyed, during radioactive decay some of the “matter” is released as energy in form of radiation.
I’d like to also point out that nuclear decay doesn’t “evaporate” matter. It’s reduced to stable state, which might be different isotope of the same element, or element with lower amount of electrons.
Another point that I’d like to point out is that I’m not a physicist, and this is oversimplification, and probably wrong at some points, but that’s my rough understanding. I am absolutely sure though, that you’ll not get half mass of whatever you had before after one half life cycle.

Yeah, that’s more or less what I meant. It’s not destroyed as in disappears, it’s converted into energy, and… goes away, but that’s still something.
I also realize we’d get less mass, some of it was blown away due to radiation after all, but the post implies that 100% disappears after decay.
Original post should probably not be taken too seriously, but this is this time when it was so wrong it made me uncomfortable :)

Kari Byron recently starred in Shell’s video that’s supposed to convince everyone that fossil fuels are great.

Same, I’ve been using arch for about a year, and only issue I had was self inflicted: I removed a drive that was added to fstab.
Manjaro on the other hand was crippled couple of times by updates in similar time span.

Wow, that trailer didn’t tell me anything. I can only assume it’s supposed to be a game, because it’s posted in games community, and that doesn’t even come from the trailer itself.

Not necessarily, as you said, murder is murder.
I will cheer for their deaths, tho.

I am definitely calling it ex-twitter.
I hope this catches on, I’m sure Musk will hate it.

Looks like Steve is a big boy, and doesn’t need any help with ruining his IPO.

“Security guarantees” that’s just wagging a finger for a country during invasion sounds awfully like “thoughts and prayers”.

Oh, it was annoying me recently, so I turned off JavaScript, and it’s great again.
I’m very glad, that people finally call those sites on their bullshit, and hopefully reclaim the internet.

EDIT: removed stray ‘with’

Firefox on mobile allows for addons, so you can install ublock origin and disable it from there, but I’m sure there are other addons that would allow that.

No idea. Knowing apple, probably not, but you’d have to check yourself.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

It would be funny if sony decided to release their games for pc only for linux, just to spite microsoft.
Slim chance of it happening, but one can dream.

I don’t know what to think. I love this series, but this doesn’t look very encouraging. I’m excited but very wary.
