You posses extremely niche knowledge. Being catty because the headline doesn't suit your preferences comes off as fairly rude and pretentious. Good for you for understanding that the headline is misleading, but there are more relatable ways to say that.

Odelay42 ,

Ah so you're just kind of rude, cool.

Odelay42 ,

Bold of you to assume these fridges are built to last

Having a penis conspicuously absent from this list.

I've tried to use DDG for a few weeks now, and I find it gets worse the more specific I search.

For general things, it's fine. But if I'm looking for an installation tutorial for a certain kind of plumbing hardware, it struggles to show me anything but brand and retail pages.

Can I use kagi as a default search for my browser?

I'm trying to use Firefox on desktop and mobile more.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

My friend, I am also slightly nostalgic for the optimism and novelty of the flip phone days. I could text confidently with T9 inside a hoodie pocket during class. But my good friend there is no universe where I want to go back to T9 for the convenience and effectiveness of it. It is not quick compared to anything that came after.

This is confusing. Is it supposed to be horrifying? Funny? I'm uncomfortable.

Fwiw, my local golf course was built on the site of a former landfill that's unsuitable for housing.

I know most aren't.

Most people over-index on maximizing compensation or holding on to stability. But there’s more to work than money and stability. Work is about growth, building connections, working on things you care about, being challenged and creating a legacy.

Fucking legacy? Is this a joke? Who gives a shit about what shitty products they launch for FAANG companies? I certainly don't - not beyond keeping my resume and portfolio up to date.

Compensation and stability are the only things that matter beyond basic working conditions and a non-toxic environment.

People with money to spare have more money to share. Makes sense. I'm not sure if "poor people don't have enough money to donate to natural disasters when they're all suffering together" is much of a headline though.

Odelay42 ,

I'm not being dishonest. Just questioning the value of the information. Of course rich people are more likely to leverage a social network that contains other rich people?

Odelay42 ,

That would have been a more informative headline

Odelay42 ,

Capitalism is a scam.

It's an unsustainable system predicted on infinite growth that necessitates unconscionable inequality.

Odelay42 ,

I'm not aware of any common sense regulations that take precedence over corporate profits, but keep up the good fight I guess.

Odelay42 ,

I didn't miss it.

You misunderstood my comment. These regulations you're talking about either don't exist or they are ineffective, because we are suffering the greatest economic inequality in history while corporate profits are at an all time high.

But good luck, I hope you become super rich doing business so you don't have to suffer with the rest of humanity. Have fun buying clean water tokens in a couple decades!

Odelay42 ,

I've been doing this for a decade.

Highly recommend it. The only thing some people don't like is using a keyboard and mouse on the couch, but there are endless solutions for that.

Odelay42 ,

How much do you think should it cost to use?

Odelay42 ,

I've always wanted to do this.

What's a good source to buy them?

What models do you recommend?
