all of those things only harm the human experience and end up making people live less!! no drug!! why do people like these things if they only harm your body… i don’t understand… gluten is bad for your heart too
Yeah, I have a pixel 8 pro, pixel watch 2, pixel buds pro, nest doorbell, 7 Google Home/Nest Hubs, YouTube Premium subscriber for however long YouTube Red has been around and use Google for most online services, and still think they have the best search, and I use Bard.
That being said, their search experience has been worse lately because of SEO, and I am slightly worried about the outsized control they have over the Internet, but better them than Microsoft (duckduckgo/bing) or Apple (literally nothing I care about, except Mythic Quest). They could always do more, and they should be held to a high standard. And fox their fucking messaging, they really, really shat the bed there.
OWL dying is a shame, I was excited for it, and right when they were about to do the games in the proper cities COVID stopped that, then whoever was asleep at the wheel let the GOATS meta run an entire season when it should have been stopped by a rule change after one match, destroying any desire to watch further.
Super pumped about this, can’t wait to get this semester over with so my group can finish BG3 and get into this. We played the first one a ton, and adding a fourth will be nice!
I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can’t seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?...

Pre-ordered a Pixel 8 Pro with the watch. I’ve had this OnePlus 7 Pro since it launched and I want the new features and a really fucking good camera. I’d also like to get away from OnePlus’ bullshit, but all in all it’s been a fantastic phone. Still very fast.
You can’t turn off their multi-press screenshot thing, and they install their apps and un-disable them, trying to figure out which messages or contacts app is the right one is annoying.
Don’t get me wrong, the phone is still impressively fast, but some of the newer tech, specifically camera, 5g, wireless charging, and the call screening style stuff is what I’m after.

I have been using Windows 11 pro since it came out and it’s fine. I’m not sure why windows is obsessed with trying to replace their older, functional menus with the new style settings apps (which usually just lead back to the old style ones) but I never get reinstalled bloat, ads, or anything remotely like people are complaining about.
For reference I do powershell for a living and use ArchLinux at work, and have windows 11 and arch machines at home, but use windows the most at home.

She needs to maintain control of her dog. This isn’t a you problem, and you’ve already talked to her, so the next step would be to call animal control and let them know the situation.

Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?
As a counterpoint I’ve had pihole running in various configurations for 7 or 8 years and the only problem I’ve had was a log file got too big or something. Works great.
