Interesting. For me, DDG is more aggressive than Google about changing my search terms. They both do it, but DDG more frequently asks forgiveness rather than permission. DDG: You meant this. Google: Did you mean this?

An interesting side effect of an earlier policy means that the sponsored ads for extensions will not be able to be blocked. Firefox extensions are prevented from operating on AMO. This is or was to ensure malicious addons can't interfe

Open source extensions already wait weeks or, more often, months to be reviewed and have that scary warning removed. As this program is planned, any commercial or other well-funded extensions will be jumping the queue ahead of them. That se

And as long as they use the company-provided NoPockets Jumpsuit, they get priority access to the Honesty Line. That could mean five more minutes with your family over dinner!

A reminder that Gab is not a gray area edgecase, but a purpose-built platform for conspiracies and hate speech.

An interesting solution could be to make MDN a paid site, as many suggest, but also offer it to libraries and universities for a token fee. The process is already in place and successful for scientific journals and encyclopedias, so the fri

Those may be correlated with a lack of family and, thus, more free time for personal projects. Not that one outgrows an appreciation of anime once married, but that the tendency toward cute girl avatars probably decreases.

I've always had sub-hour responses and generally solutions. I've been impressed with how informed and empowered the support people are, as well. It's weird that you experienced "the worst in email support" when I&#x

You're playing semantics and it's making you look like a pedantic loser. I know you won't take offense to this, because I never called you a pedantic loser. Is this correct?

Looking it up yourself would have taken you a fraction of the time it took for you to complain that someone else didn't do it for you.

You're not wrong, but why do you suspect the "something people won't like" is anything more than this massive layoff?

A courtesy not afforded to the largely not-rich, not-white general prison population. I don't think Levandowski should be treated worse, just noting it would be nice if less privileged prisoners were treated as humanely.

It's very likely that the original story spread to more people than the retraction. So sadly, yes, for a significant number of people the falsehood is now a "fact". One they might drop as a curiosity in conversation long afte
