Classic Reg. They style their headlines on Daily Fail language, meant to be a bit hyperbolic and/or tongue in cheek - which worked in the era of lad’s magazines - but really doesn’t now.
Good article, tough.
I’ve been using SelectSpecs for 15 years. I think they drop-ship from SE Asia.
Mostly to have a spare set, but for the last year or so they’ve been my primary pair.
Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.
That explains a lot, thanks.
American or South African chocolate products.
NOT an anti-American/-Saffer thing. They add butyric acid, which tastes like vomit to the rest of the world. (Accurate, as vomit contains it).
Presumably because the market there have been trained to expect that flavour for some reason. To the rest of us, a US or ZA origin is usually a sign to avoid.
Had a manager who used to send notes intended for himself to our team chat. Psychotic behaviour.
Every phone has a note app. No matter how stupid you are, it works. But if messages to yourself floats your boat: why not.
Top-right is an ibis? The Australian nickname for them is “bin chicken” for obvious reasons…
Thanks for checking and the update.
Some people get value out of it. Others don’t.
That’s why the blocking capability exists. 🤷♂️
Oh no… anyone know what this means for DuckDuckGo?
Is this is legendary mothgirl prophecy?
Le petit mort , ahem, comes in many forms…
What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s
My take on ads is this: I’ve been using the internet since 1989 - before search engines, advertising, SLIP/PPP/ADSL, etc.
When ads began to appear on websites in the late 90s, I was OK with it. A banner ad here, etc. Then they started to move. And flash. And make noise. And then popups, and pop-unders.
At that point I started to BLOCK THEM ALL. If your business model is a game of distraction from the site I’m visiting, then fuck you, your family, and anyone you’ve ever met.
Moving on to UI web-based stuff, the demise of excellent sites like AltaVista (with its superior search syntax) and the growth of Goooooooogle (with its astonishingly and intentionally shit search syntax), the progress and intention was obvious.
There was a brief period where Google, etc, provided what people wanted. But that time has passed. Now it’s all in on GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.
tl;dr: Once advertisers started to behave like gambling sites, they were yeeted to the hell in which they belong.
Odd, it must be the Docker image I’m using, then. Thanks for clarifying.
I run AdGuard Home, WireGuard and a couple of other things on my 4B, all in Docker.
I used to run HomeAssistant on our for a while, but they stopped supporting that architecture (armhf?). Also used to run Unbound on it.
Inevitable, really. And zero surprise it’s coming out of China.
Reads more like an advertorial. Low on detail, high on “passkeys are the future”, and plenty of typos.
Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now? (Even if they’re unaware of it.)
Meta faking Threads user count that way on top of what’s happened with X user count would explain this “milestone” quite easily.
