I’m using SEARXNG. It’s a search engine aggrigate and you can mix and match where you want your results to come from. It’s like using Google from a decade ago.

I don’t want to hear one damn thing about thier next game until the day of release. Over hyping was what got them into trouble last time.
The fact you caught this pic with a camera from 40 years ago (without burst frames) is pretty dang cool.
Unfortunately there are some communities (especially gaming ones) that just don’t have a Lemmy equivently or don’t have enough critical mass to be useful. I would say Lemmy is a great addition, but not a drop in replacement.
What’s the other choice these days?
Edit: Did some research, sounds like a few apps got API exceptions because they are consider accessibility apps. Am currently test driving RedReader. It’s not bad and so far ad free.
Here’s the thing, you own the domain, set up what ever email alias you want and send it to your primary.
Litterally two sliders.
Or use shutup10
So the way I read it, if you want to opt in, you make the new changes they state in your yml. I didn’t and just hit upgrade to pull the new images and it worked fine. I don’t see any issues, but I’ll be glad if someone says I did it wrong.
I think it’s only breaking if you pull the new yml and don’t move your data.
Not a recommendation per se, but if you like to ugly cry watch “Dear Evan Hanson”
Yeah, sadly a good color e-ink screens seems like one of those techs that is always a couple years away. It seems like maybe the demand just isn’t there for R&D with everyone having large form factor phones these days.
This was my fear, thanks. When I saw what they were doing with it I was like come on, who needs to take notes in color.
I really REALLY love my Kobo Libre 2, it’s a fantastic reader. I would like to move the Color version, but they didn’t actually show anything like a graphic novel, guess I’ll be waiting for reviews, not sure why they wouldn’t show the most common use for one of these unless maybe it’s not great at it.
I would guess probably not soon. Windows still needs to be able to comply with many industries needs for compliance (ITAR, HIPAA, Financial, etc etc.) If they remove the ability to control this, they cut themselves out of their largest profit area (corporate licensing).
So many headline readers. To be honest, 99% of these problems that folks rage about could be resolved with a group policy (local or domain). The problem is, Windows is like 73% of worldwide OS usage, so like it or not, there is a lot of trying to protect the user from themselves. Team Linux can’t fathom that because they come from the perspective that they can build thier experience from the ground up to be exactly as they like. The VAST majority of people don’t want that, they want something that works and they don’t really care what happens behind the curtains. I would wager that 90% of users could care less what browser they use (or would even notice if it changed!) as long as they still had access to their bookmarks.
I would like to share a positive experience from this new driver the article is about. I use notepad++ and setting it as the default was kind of a pain in the butt. It would work sometimes, but not consistently, and often depended on a registry hack or symlink to work. Now with the new interface for default apps, as long as I have the new Windows Notepad app installed when I change the defaults for “open with”, it just works! For all the file extensions, all the time. Honestly it’s a much better experience and it’s ACCESSIBLE to the lay person.
Set it via group policy (local or domain) and forget about it.
Nah, the article was something I went searching for after the fact. I guess “old” is in the eye of the beholder. My 8 year old thinks I’m old.
Just your bog standard Millennial here though. Started out with no tech growing up, and basically grew up along side and with the modern era of technology.
As for search engines, I agree, that’s why I use a selfhosted SearXNG instance. It’s not shoved down your throat google ads (much more akin to what google was 5 years ago or older), but TikTok surely isn’t the answer for “specialists in their field”, just like I wouldn’t have used Vine to source specialist knowledge before that. The problem with the format is there is to much “jumping to the end” without understanding why. You literally cannot get into the “why” in short video format, it’s a bit like “and now your draw the rest of the owl”.
I actually feel like some of the youngest generations while “perceived” to be technical because they grew up with tech actually lack much of the deeper understanding of how that same technology works. This is gonna sound very much “in my day we had to walk uphill both ways” kinda thing, but we did actually have to struggle with technology growing up. If you wanted it to work, you had to frequently do it yourself, and figure out why something wasn’t working with out reddit or online forums sourcing thousands of technical people. I use those skills to this day and it’s a skill I try and mentor into new hires at work.
I recall once early in my career, I caught a co-worker attempting to perform a change on a server for a Fortune 500 financial company using instructions on a webpage that looked like it was from a 1990’s Geocities website (this was probably 2012, so not sure where he even found it!). I slammed his workstation closed so fast and walked him into a conference room. Being “old” doesn’t mean out of touch, but it does often mean wiser.
Edit: Also, not sure where you got that I’m against google pay, venmo, paypal, square, amazon pay or any of those apps, I have them all installed on my phone. What I AM saying is that those apps are at risk to people who root their phones and install applications from sketchy sources. My point about kids using their phones at vending machines was to prove they are probably MORE at risk because they don’t understand the hows or whys to what they did when they rooted their phone and installed Minecraft (or any game!) from a sketchy crack page.
I’m not saying that they did it because a TikTok told them too, I’m saying its because that’s how a lot of the younger generation happens to search.
Just one example:
https://www.businessinsider.com/nearly-half-genz-use-tiktok-instagram-over-google-search-2022-7
I for one, would NOT trust some rando 30 second clickbait video telling me how to root my phone, but you can sure as shit bet that a ton of school aged children are doing that to play some cracked APK they got from a sketchy website because their parents wouldn’t buy them a 99c game.
Those same kids have bank and google pay apps setup on their phone so they can make purchases when they are out and about. I see kids using their phone for vending machine purchases ALL THE TIME.
Edit: Since this is a meme community, little bit of rage bait for ya: All the TikTokers coming out with the downvotes :)
Let’s be real here. Folks running Linux as thier desktop have a high chance of knowing what they are actually doing. Folks with rooted android phones have a high chance of having watched a 12 year old tell them how to root thier phone on TicTok. Which of these groups is participating in the more risky activity?
Pandoc wad gonna be my recommendation for anything document based, but like ImageMagick, it’s command line, that sent me looking. Looks like https://panwriter.com/ is a good front end for it, probably gonna give it a try myself.
For documents, nothing quite like pandoc, I would be surprised if it’s not what most of those sketchy websites use on the backend anyway.
There are hosted versions you can just use without installing at home.
