It was a long time ago. They stripped it of identifying features for the test. Finding information on it is hard on account of the overall decline in search quality. There might be a post on it here on HN but I couldn't find it on a qu

They did blind "taste tests" that showed people preferred Bing. Even Microsoft can't overcome Google's inertia with a better product even with the marketing blitzes they've done and all their efforts to push it thro

A large portion could still feed themselves. What food assistance does is allow someone spend less of an already scarce time and energy budget on food preparation. You can eat for cheap if you make major components in bulk, but it all adds

Check the source on the donation page. It looks like they actually use something called Gr4vy above all that to handle payments. https://gr4vy.com Using a platform with its own fee on top of payment processor fees would explain

No. Why would a payment processor make an exception to its risk-based rules for an organization that increases exposure to that risk? Brand recognition is a liability in this case.

I prefer FreeTube for YouTube since it maintains the good parts of YouTube's interface while giving you something to point a backup program at. At least, when it works. There's currently a major blocking bug the devs are aware of.
