I was banned for saying ukraine has a right to defend itself, on the grounds of that being “pro war”.

jfc I hope you reported that app.

yeah and I’ve done a lot of chatting about amazon products online at reddit, forums, etc over the last 20 years or whatever and never once seen people get different prices on the same amazon link.

but surely the long term plan is to kill off NCP.

I’m guessing this will roll in the features of Nvidia control panel as well. so now we will basically be forced to install their tracking shit for basic feature support.

Tencent buying into 40% of the company didn’t get you financially secure?

exactly, rosetta has nothing to do with windows apps.

this could be the biggest thing to ever happen to Mac gaming.

wide brimmed bucket hat, for sun protection.

and that’s reason #2 why i won’t get my dna tested.

i haven’t played skyrim since the last DLC was released, whatever that was. maybe my memory is sufficiently wiped at this point

I watched that movie knowing absolutely nothing about it going in other than the two leads, and it blew my mind. from that point on i swore off watching trailers and try to know as little as possible about every movie i watch.

Yeah, who’s willing to murder a bunch of hapless astronauts?

pure ignorance.

Tell that to NASA.

what does this even mean? NASA knows, that’s why they didn’t let Boeing take astronauts back. NASA had concerns and acted accordingly, as a competent organization should.

this is straight up nonsense. we get into orbit just fine, ISS has been operating for decades. Going beyond that is only a matter of political will, not a limit of tech or engineering. In fact they are working on Artemis to go back to the moon right now, and Mars after that.

and i actually disagree with the person above that we can go to mars right now. there are issues they need to figure out, but they are solvable problems. This isn’t like cold fusion that is 30 years away from being 30 years away.

also boeing isn’t representative of the aerospace industry or even just NASA. They are mismanaged and negligent. they can’t even build airplanes, never mind spacecraft.

difficult yes, of course. impossible, not even close. NASA’s goal is by the 2030s - even if you don’t believe that timeline which would be fair, the technology is well within our reach.

just landing on mars? nah that’ll happen soon. settling it on a long term basis is a whole other matter though.

also just… caves and shit.

I’m not saying all of our current meat and fish systems are perfectly humane and sustainable. I agree a lot needs to be corrected and reduced there. What I am saying is you can’t completely eliminate all animal based sources of food from the planet and expect to feed everyone adequately.

yes, clearly I was talking about for sustenance, hence mentioning “feeding” multiple times. If you want to petition the admins for banning trophy hunting discussion I might be in favor of that.

This would be a major issue, because DDG specifically claims it does not store any identifying information about you.

I had a search saved from some months ago, went to check it for some references and got new hits involving local organizations that had nothing to do with the search. Opening up a private browser I see that the searches aren’t 100% matching up either.

my guess is this is just variation in the search algorithms over time. excerpt from their privacy policy above which I think can explain most of the variability you mentioned:

“For example, we may know that we got a lot of searches for “cute cat pictures” today, but we don’t know who actually performed those searches. That is, viewing search results on DuckDuckGo is anonymous. And we only save these anonymous search queries — completely disconnected from any unique identifiers like IP addresses — for just enough time to analyze anonymous trends like popular searches, so that we can better serve you. For local search results in particular, we’ve further engineered a solution to shield your precise location from us and our content providers that sends us a random location nearish to you, which we also never log to disk.”

So they do use your geo IP and popular searches to weigh results which can change over time.
