So they are lowering the specs because people has found a way to avoid upgrading?

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack "&udm=14" on to the end of a normal search, and you'll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

You can still have a laugh with the new page, like that extreme confidence highlighting the wrong answers.

Why complain about it? This is why we can't have nice things.

A small tip if you are like me and haven't noticed, you can reorder the search engine list in the settings by drag and dropping.

And yet it's not the first time I've tried --help --verbose

Always found a bit weird the way gimp saves images. "Export" makes sense somehow but still feels weird, like if it didn't want to hear about the thing you've created anymore ever.

I've only managed to find very basic info. For programming I got fed up of being recommended apps, features and settings that didn't exist.

I used to think so too, but I don't know if he is also bad at that because it is taking him longer than I expected.

Responding to ShotSpotter, Police Shoot at Child Lighting Fireworks (www.eff.org)

This post was written by Rachel Hochhauser, an EFF legal internWe’ve written multiple times about the inaccurate and dangerous “gunshot detection” tool, Shotspotter. A recent near-tragedy in Chicago adds to the growing pile of evidence that cities should drop the product.On January 25, while......

in a period of 21 months, ShotSpotter resulted in police acting on dead-end reports over 40,000 times.

Lol, what a scam.

I remember the first time they ditched it, I didn't get accustomed to the feature because I knew what was coming. Around that time they acted very googley adding and removing features, luckily firefox has become less ADHD.

And now they'll market it as their own humbling idea.

I only block the most boring/spammy stuff, things with no real life consequences. But I don't like to block simply because I disagree.

microsoft and its names... like the VS editor and the other VS editor.

I love it, we need more of this.

I can understand other more specific problems, but something like this for a car manufacturer...

In browsers you can long press the back button, and it will show the history so you can really jump where you want. Not sure if on Connect you can but maybe is worth a shot.

I can make it work, but I don't have a clear idea of what I'm doing especially with the partitions. I`m still too used to thinking in drive letters.

I started using multiple alarms for some time, but I noticed that I was starting to completely ignore them to the point of not hearing them. I was actually a bit scared when I noticed and I said fuck that. Now I have 2 alarms to really pay attention to them. One at wake up time and other when I should be at the door, just in case.

Can I help? I don't think so. Can I make it worse? Maybe, because there's also "hubiese".

It seems to be less common in America. And a bit random in Spain using hubiera and hubiese more interchangeably.

I don't think they are going to stop storing it somewhere, just stop delivering it.

Sigh, that was my wake up call to not rely on google products.

Very important has to be the thing that I'm doing so that I have to open a browser without ad-block. For most things the close tab button brings me more peace of mind.

Where did you get that from? I see no sidebar rule or anything

My first samsung was wonderful and lasted me quite some time, my second one was asking me to add so many apps and accept so many permissions that I regret buying it. I don't want to create waste by throwing it out but...

What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn't figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I'm trying to get gpaint...

I want to search about it, but searching that didn't help.

I can't find any news that confirm that?

Sigh, the sub has no description. Each person that visits has a different opinion on what should be there since there's no official take.

Probably just line any safe for work communities that had also "porn" in its name. Just using the word to mean that it is very appealing.

Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/

I'll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.
