In that video he asserts through the closed door that Omegle hasn't done anything "for the children" and then in the article they have one measly line about how Omegle actually has been productive on that front. The text now

Definitely, and I'm ok with not getting results, Kagi is doing the right thing.

Like siblings, I switched and never looked back. I used !g with DDG often, more as the years went on tbh, but with Kagi the only time I use !g is when the search results end in one page, which is rare and almost always the Google results ar

I had the privilege and good fortune to introduce a diverse group of highschoolers to Scratch as an intro to programming around 2013/2014, it was a lot of fun! A few of them seemed pretty hooked and were doing some wild things pretty q

Interesting so maybe not my trivial "summarize an article" example but clearly the upper bound on what's possible is higher and more interesting.

I'm not familiar with the summarization or NLP space really but I remember ~2011-2015 I signed up for a couple of daily email services that summarized a number of news articles and the summaries were fantastic. I don't even rememb

Glancing at some comments here mentioning the overnight charging feature working for them, am I in the minority by charging randomly whenever it needs it? My charger isn't even in the bedroom. Curious how my random on/off habits c

My US state has been legal for some years now and it's a similar story. Part of me wants the market to collapse a bit as it's kind of annoying how many businesses exist, in my city this one corner had 3 shops in a touristy part of

As someone who smoked/vaped daily for several years, it wouldn't bother me and if anything I would get excited like "where is that?" But after several months of voluntarily not using I actually did get to a point where I

It's been like 10 years since I looked into the options but at the time I was getting my first cards I was doing the math on various points cards to compare to cash back and what I found was, unless you were really gaming the system, t

Pretty subjective at the end of the day. Personally I find them roughly equivalent quality in mapping/traffic but Google has turned into a pile of sponsored content. Apple frequently has the exact locations of businesses within a build

I don't think this addresses the comment you're replying to. Sure evaporative is more effective, I don't see an argument against that, but I think the point of GP is that fully enclosed (like a dry cooling tower) is possible

Coworkers answering wrong gets me to stop asking them for help, yes, especially if it's confident or they can't qualify uncertainty or I know their ratio of Q&A site visits vs 1st party docs visits is abysmal. There are even p

Quite the ratio here. Definitely agree with the masses that 1) almost no one does number entry 2) many touch typers are plenty fast enough on the number row 3) it does take up space really, especially in laptop or directly next to a mouse.

Apple Maps is actually competitive with Google Maps and has walled garden integrations so it's not really comparable to me as Google Search versus Bing/DDG/whatever. Not to say the other search options are so terrible people

His surprise and comment that it was unexpected and done on the first try without much force says a lot more than exact science numbers to me.

Not disagreeing with your main point but some anecdata on local searches: for me, Google likes to show me the other, larger city by the same name several hundred miles away. If I use Google Maps it likes to teleport as well. Sometimes even

That API is junk and I think requires auth now or something. I was messing with it some months ago and was surprised after a month the system changed.

My comment is in response to your “yes this replacement is desired.” button in a world where parts can be harvested from a phone and used in a different one. My understanding of what you mean is if phone A were stolen and parts removed from

Such an ignore button would allow theft to continue and would allow users to make poor security decisions. I agree that something needs to happen to enable easier or maybe more privacy focused 3rd party repairs but I also appreciate my devi

I don't think C2 or a $200 electric grinder are going to be great for espresso. I have a 1ZPresso JX-Pro I got for like $150 and at the time at least sounded like a much better option vs C2 and cheap electric. I'm happier with it

Yeah coworkers were laughing at me for reading the privacy policies. I would put in the orders with their phone/email instead, had a laugh at that.
