A terrible thought indeed, one which you can never escape after seeing it. However, unless you want to live in misery, the delusions are all you have to enjoy the ride, what little time there is. But the thought always returns.

> reason nb 1 is video games. I'm hoping this comes to an end soon with Valve backing Proton due to the Steam Deck. I don't think I'll be upgrading to Windows 11 at any rate, I'll keep Win 10 as long as possible then

uTorrent jumped the shark many many years ago. qBitTorrent is what you want probably since it's an open source uTorrent clone without the ads (alternatively Transmission if you want something really basic that just works).

You're completely right. People thought paying money would stop ads from permeating cable TV originally [1], and look what happened there. History is repeating itself and yet you still have people in this very thread carting out the ti

Hey, I never had that significant of an experience but I spent some weeks in the hospital myself in my 20s-early 30s and I can relate at least somewhat. It does get depressing. For me it was being next to someone in chronic pain crying ou

I'm not sure what some of the spikes in years past were about, but again it's a scale of 'how popular the terms were' from 0-100 not a raw count. You can see it spiking hard recently compared to the average. Without seei

Why would they be searching in English? Also those numbers are "relative popularity" on a scale of 0-100. I'm seeing what the article claims here, more or less. But it's a little unclear exactly what search terms they we

The autoplay videos are often videos of their affiliated streamers on Twitch as well, which artificially increases the "viewers" count of said Twitch streams (thousands of viewers just browsing their wikis). You'll notice fex

Honest question: who actually wants these features? Why are MS-specific subscription integrations at the OS level desirable to me as a home user? It really doesn't seem hard to visit a website the rare times I want to modify a subscrip

These useless responses are pretty much all you'll ever get out of Google if you have any sort of problem that isn't trivial to fix. I've seen tons of these threads. I once asked "hey, I know you can ignore single email

I didn't notice a huge difference, but your comment reminded me of something my grandma said in her later years (she died around 2018 and was well into her 90s, so she grew up in the 30s). "All the young people these days are so g

I can't replicate at all, in fact I get zero results labeled as ads for the same search (on desktop, logged in, using FF). I have my search history paused, perhaps that could be affecting it? Edit: I now see 3 ad results after disablin

Thanks for explaining that. The article just jumps right into using "de novo" all over the place with minimal explanation, but the link they highlight it with is broken.

Literally nobody was arguing this, though. The OP's outburst about the "vitriol" on this topic also seems pretty overly dramatic, tbh, and has done wonders to derail things because it hurls personal insults.

It's not weird to me or a lot of people I know. I don't want to be online 24/7 (don't bring my phone with me most places, etc.) and I avoid smart devices for the most part in my house. I think people in general prefer si

Those series of events could potentially happen, but I just don't think it's the case with so many disparate countries at play. I don't really want to get into an extended debate about this, but I appreciate your detailed res

Yeah it's super convenient, I do it too. But like you I'm growing wary of putting all my eggs in one basket especially with how dysfunctional these large tech companies are getting and all the horror stories of account lockouts. T

There should be stigma for people who spread misinformation during a deadly pandemic, in my opinion. And yes, what you're implying heavily in your posts would require some sort of conspiracy to be plausible. You're going against d

This might be a generational thing. But yes, you can go into banks and deposit money (even frequently, and in reasonably large amounts). The flagging and suspending stuff is more what I'd be wary of using paypal or something similar, n

No offense intended but if that's the worst that happened to you during the pandemic so far, I'd count myself incredibly lucky and be happy about it. People slipping through bureaucratic cracks is unfortunate but happens with lite

It's definitely early in general. Most millennials or younger won't be retiring until they're 70+ if ever on average the way the world is going. I certainly hope I'm as lucky as you and glad to hear you're enjoying

I just had the same question and looked into it. The answer is no you can't, they removed the ability to disable Proton as of version 91. I also strongly dislike the new tabs as they're totally disconnected from the actual pages t
