You can still block it easily with the command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) as mentioned. But don’t let that stop you from switching to Linux if you feel like it.

The main character is frankly unbearable. Super unlikeable, overly emotional (despite being Vulcan)

What? You’re talking about Michael Burnham, no? She’s 100% human. She grew up with Vulcans, but that’s very different.

Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
Here’s my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

Same here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I’ve yet to see anyone surpass them.

Abydos*

But yes, probably Ra.

Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.

Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.

I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.

Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

This is about the website.

10x more?

Here’s a 3 meter UHS certified HDMI cable for $9.99. I doubt you can find one for much less that handles 4K 120 Hz w/ HDR properly.

And seven years of guaranteed Android updates.

It’s always possible to re-encode video; it’s usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.

No, it’s not. I have never brushed my teeth too hard and have always used very soft toothbrushes, but I used to brush for 6-7 minutes, and my gums have suffered for it. Way too much of my teeth are now exposed, which is both ugly and causes sensitivity.
In the long run, if one keeps this up, teeth will start falling out.

Don’t overbrush.

The strange thing is that I’ve never seen any kind of AdBlock notice/warning on YouTube, ever. I’m also using uBlock Origin.

Kutcher is already in an upcoming movie.

Mila Kunis is in two projects.

Is Fennec just the old name, orn something different?

I use Firefox on Windows and Firefox on Android.

I think most replies are missing the main point OP is asking about.

The answer is yes, it matters. I started a run as Gale to learn the basics of the UI prior to starting playing. You learn an important (secret, to begin with) detail about Gale (a certain condition) as you as your exit the nautiloid.

On the other hand, playing as a custom character, he first told me about that 15 hours in, and even then only in very vague terms and refused to give more details when pressed.

So when you start as an origin characters, you really “are” that character. When they’re just a companion, they’ll keep secrets from you.

I certainly don’t take their side… but smartphones DIDN’T exist before the iPhone. Which phone would you say that was? BlackBerry?
Most people think of smartphones as a big touchscreen, and the iPhone was first, being released on June 29 2007, whereas the first Android phone was released over a year later in September 2008.

Threatening to sue doesn’t sound like apologizing though.

Mine is doing it too, and I never voluntarily watch any right-wing-related content (not even anti-right-wing). It’s usually anti-trans rhetoric it tries to push on me.
