It obfuscates the user each time you use it and doesn’t log any info?

So while the query is maybe logged on chatgpts side for their own usage. Hopefully they shouldn’t be able to build a profile against you.

95% of my searches, DDG is fine and I’ve learnt where it might struggle and I just end the search with !g

This then searches Google, yeah I’m still using Google for 5% of my searches but it’s better than 100%.

Or use !start to search startpage.

I’ve degoogled apart from:

• Google photos - I have shared storage with my family and I really can’t be doing with sorting out the mess when I cancel my 200GB subscription. I do however back all photos up to my server.
• Pixel phone - I try not use any Google apps/search but the phones are updated regularly and are reasonably good value for money. Other brands have the Google tracking with the OEM tracking on top.

I installed Linux mint on my Framework laptop because fuck windows.

I had to move back to windows, it didn’t feel ready and couldn’t get it working easily how I like.

Heres some of the issues(any pointers would be great)

• 120hz just wouldn’t work on one monitor, it detects it but won’t apply. (Works fine in W10 and Ubuntu).
• Scrolling on the touchpad is unbelievably fast and makes it unusable.
• Fractional scaling is a joke, my laptop screen needs around 125% but everything becomes a blurred mess.
• The mouse is a bit jittery and can’t explain why (usually using a Logitech gaming mouse when docked).
• Governor cannot be different on battery and AC. Defaults to max turbo.
• Fingerprint sensor doesn’t work (works fine on Ubuntu and w10).
• Unsure how to get hardware accelerated disk encryption working?

Some stuff is better but a combination of these just brings me back to windows. It just loads and works?

Is one of the options “because I fucking told you to”

You could probably sell a 1gig service to 200 users on a 50gbps line. That’s how GPON works and mostly people don’t have issues.

Not that it’s feasible, but they themselves won’t have the bandwidth for a few 50gbps users 24/7.

My 1gbps service is a 2.5gbps GPON split between 32 other users, i’ve always seen 1gbps. But theoretically it would only take 3 of us to max the connection out

No, I can’t use my yubikeys in fennec or Mull.

I used to enjoy Lostprophets

Does some of the payouts need normalising? Some of the bigger content creators make absolutely bank for hardly doing anything with little overheads.

Does it? It’s a fantastic service that works really well, whether it’s worth the price or privacy is a slightly different conversation

Maybe start by not murdering babies or people at a festival?

Yeah but that’s slower and not using the sites specific search

I’ve started using Duckduckgo, less specifically for the search and more for the bangs. Fed up of search surfacing sites they care about. I can now quickly search wikipedia with !w etc.

I switched my parents group chat to RCS from whatsapp after pestering them for ages.

Over the span of 2 months we had 4-5 inconsistencies where I would recieve a message from my mum or dad in the group that would be in another language or clearly not be written by them. It wouldn’t show up on her phone but my brother and dad would see it.

Here’s the proof of the last occassion it happened. They’re never going to switch now…

It saved less than 0% because it wrote the comment twice…

Even if you selfhost, having a cloud provider can still be a good option to maintain 3-2-1 without hosting a second server offsite (at parents or friends etc).

I backup to backblaze b2

People need to stop “pretending” they can afford all this shit, it’s not needed and noone cares, who are people showing off too?

New iphone? Don’t need it

Maybe if we stop buying shit these companies will actually try
