I tried using DDG for about 3 months, until I had to ditch it. I want to use it, but its results are even worse than Googles.

While on Google I might have to scroll past the ads, sponsored links and obvious AI blog results, the first page will usually at least contain a relevant result somewhere, whereas DDG simply doesn't bother to show any relevant results at all. Even on it's first page, it will stray far from the actual search term.

Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

Localhorst86 ,

I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece "The Hardening", but I guess my memory has played me.

I consider this my "Mandela-Effect" moment.

it takes basically no extra effort

I'd assume one needs to verify the email by clicking a link, so to spam user1@domain.tld, user2@domain.tld would mean you need access to those inboxes. That means you need to go through the effort to actually create those emailadresses on whatever freemail service you chose, or you need to host the emailserver yourself and have all mails run into a catchall inbox.
Hosting your own emailserver is definately not "basically no extra effort", even for a lot of tech-savvy people, paying for a hosted email service using your own domain is easier, but also seems like not a good investment just to spam a petition website.

The foo+bar@gmail.com functionality, however, is pretty well known tool - even by non-tech savvy people. Even some people I know that I consider basically tech-illiterate have known this for years, they have told me when they found out about it and asked me if I was aware of this functionality.

The first one I mentioned requires preparation, setting up email accounts or an email server, the second one is basically already set up for most email users and ready to go, the latter is therefore definately a lot less effort to pull off.

Thank you, Oscar-winning actress Margot Robbie.

I can only recommend Randall Munroe's books "what if", " how to" and "what if 2". They are really entertaining comedy.

That one, I wasn't a big fan of. But maybe that's because I am not a native English speaker. Maybe its better for native speakers.

I like how the logo on their shirts resembles hands "groping" a peach.

    It was over 9 years ago when Russia invaded Ukraine with their little green men.

    I fondly remember the old opera days, up until the latest presto version, 12.18. If you knew what you were doing, you were able to fully customize the entire browser, all of it's toolbars and context menus, it was incredible.

    Once they switched over to the Blink engine, all of that was lost. It's entire USP gone, just like that.

    I've tried Opera 2 or 3 years back, just to see what it is like, and it's just another pointless chromium based browser, offering nothing to keep me using it, and the more i see posts and ads from this company, the more I feel like I made the right choice.

    I've also tried the "spiritual successor" to Opera 12, Vivaldi, but it too couldn't win me back over from Firefox.

    It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere.

    It's the square cutout on the ears that absolutely sells it.

    So we only need to find a way to get you a french maid outfit.

    I was thinking about starting a gofundme and order one on aliexpress to be delivered to him.
