After intending to for years, I've recently switched to DuckDuckGo after getting increasingly frustrated with Google's search results. This makes that decision feel all the more like the right one.
I find it hard to say this is deliberate on Google's part but at best it's yet another case of Google blatantly skipping over Firefox testing.

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.
They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They're theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.
Aye exactly, Apple's marketing, which is often basically lying, has a lot to answer for in the prevelence of this idea. They'd have you believe that they're making chips with 14 billion percent more performance per watt and class beating performance. Whereas in reality they're very much going toe to toe with AMD and other high end ARM chip vendors
I realise that the overlap between Mastodon users and BBC Radio 3 listeners is likely me and me alone but I wish they'd add an account for it.
I suppose the reasoning behind it would be that 4 & 5 are the talk stations.
Don't give Nintendo a free pass on that, it was years before they added support for Bluetooth audio
I've got a Surface Pro 5 with the dogshit m3 processor and 4GB of Ram, anyone have any concept of how it'd run under linux? It basically folds at any real task in Windows

Brady Haran (numberphile etc.) was made an OAM, the Australian equivalent of an OBE, largely for his YouTube work. So it's not impossible.
+1 on this, I switched to Wezterm on my windows work machine to get most of the features missing from alacrity without having to go through the hoops to get a tmux like experience on windows.
I used to do Windows -> Alacrity -> WSL2 -> Tmux then launch my Windows powershell core session inside that terminal.
You could configure the DNS only on devices that don't have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?
UK Mail is owned by DHL
What? The Royal Mail is the UK's national post service and has been an independent entity since it was (stupidly) privatised in 2011.
I'd put money on it being the US.
I'm from the UK where chip and pin is required and contactless is nearly ubiquitous so when I was in the US recently I was baffled that a lot of places had me signing for things.
I can confirm that Neko still works flawlessly for me. I only use Mangadex so have never really been interested in the wider Tachiyomi space.
Did I ever say it was all lies? They're incredibly capable machines, I'd love to own one. I just take issue with Apple's lark of transparency in the marketing of the performance of the chips vs competition.
All valid but OAMs and OBEs are exactly equivalent, both are the lowest honour and neither confer a title. Only much higher ranks from each honour system KBE/DBE or AK/AD make you a Knight/Dame
Interesting, my experience was in rural Georgia so could be regional?
Thanks for the advice, I'd not heard of that particular distro. I'm quite comfortable with Fedora so I think I'll give it a shot
It works fine for me in Fennec on Android
I've managed to create marijuana and bong after five minutes of messing with it. Perfect game.
Edit: I'm really narrowing in on this niche: Stoner + Couch = Pothead
I was excited for 802.11ac (now Wifi 5) when it first launched and I adopted it early but I've never been sold on the need for Wifi 6 let alone 7 now.
Unlike other folk in this thread I do thankfully have a Gigabit class internet connection but I now own my own home and so have been able to do some very basic Ethernet runs which totally replaces WiFi for 90% of my usage. My Wireless AP just talks to my phone, Steam Deck and a couple smart home gubbins really.
