Just don’t use gogle.

“Google’s core argument that its search engine wins default status due to its quality, not due to anticompetitive behaviors.”

Then why pay Apple 20 billion for default star?

White is a color. It’s all the colors.

“Light is perceived by the human visual system as white when the incoming light to the eye stimulates all three types of color sensitive cone cells in the eye in roughly equal amounts.”

Time to stop using Gmail and YouTube. I had already avoided go░gle search for months now.

Over the last three or four months I had deleted all my FaceBook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram accounts. And this made me want to avoid go░gle search.

Would you be buried alive for 48hr for a million dollars?

You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?...

I’m using NetNewsWire.

It’s free. It seems easy to me.

I don’t know. I can’t imagine paying.

It works for me.

I don’t search with google. If I can’t find something without google, I don’t find it.

Is Mullvad chromium based?

@WillardHerman@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you!

I am pretty new to the privacy concerns. All the browsers and forks and stuff seems pretty confusing.

Is Mullvad better than Firefox? I have not found out how to tell.

Mullvad Browser (no TOR, no VPN) (monero.town)

The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in collaboration with Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project.

How would this affect our use of FediVerse websites? Like Lemmy or Mastodon.

If we never wake up, then we are still asleep and inside the nightmare.

Giant water bug (family Belostomatidae) (lemmy.world)

These aquatic insects are intimidating-looking, with large modified forelimbs. Although they live in the water, they’re air-breathers, and like virtually all insects, can fly when necessary. The modified forelegs, referred to as “raptorial” (predatory) legs, have a similar function to that of mantises — they grab and...

I agree. I want nothing to do with corporations.

I have been working hard to delete all my corporate social media accounts. Reddit and Twitter is gone. This next week is FaceBook. I just can’t take they way corporations ruin things just to make billionaires more money. I don’t want to add to that.

For very quick protein you can’t beat 1/4 of a cup of peanuts, a cup of soy milk, or 2 tbsp of peanut butter. All are very quick.

Legumes for protein are apparently important: Plant Protein: A Vegan Nutrition Primer

I just deleted three of my reddit accounts. I am done. As an artist, I have more work to do on my primary current account. I feel I should delete my art from reddit so that they can not make money from my art and music.

Medjool dates and medley raisins.

At their best, Medjool dates are as good as caramel. Good raisins are like gummy candies. But then, maybe I am biased, because I had to give up sugar candies. And so, these are my sweets.
