You're correct. I can no longer edit my post, but I should have specified. There's no true "equivalent" of downvoting posts, just the flag system which downweights posts like downvotes do comments. After it reaches a thr

DDG use a combination of Bing, Oath (previously Yahoo), and their own crawler [1], although I believe their own crawler is only used for “instant answers” and knowledge cards. Qwant has their own crawler and use Bing to help build their res

Agreed. It doesn’t mean much, but I thought I would just point out the actual relevant bits even if they don’t hold much weight.

Oh wow. I thought you were referring to simply clicking Quit in the menu. Thank you for this. I hadn’t realized that was an option. It has bugged me for a long time.

If they’re having OOM problems, especially with 32GB of RAM, I’d expect it to start thrashing the swap as it does mine on my Ubuntu box. As much as I like FF, it is not consistent across hardware/OS setups and I imagine it makes it rat

They’re talking about the keyboard shortcut. It’s much quicker to use CMD + Q to quit any app on Mac, but Chrome insists on making you hold it down. Clicking through the menus defeats the purpose and misses the point. I’ve turned to using A

If UX designers are designing unguessable interfaces, then they’re not doing a good job. A good UX designer would make it better than guessable, they’d make it mostly intuitable so you don’t have to guess for most things. As much as I’m aga

No one said it’s not still valuable, but less so on it’s own with the advent of the internet and Google. The same thing can be said with taking notes in school: you’re less effective using human memory alone without the augment of note taki

Have you ever used Facebook? It’s much worse and this is specifically in reference to media that are against Facebook’s guidelines (e.g. nudity, gore, etc), not all content as a whole. Users doing some moderating in this context would simpl

The quoted bit was about a built-in ad blocker specifically. I think the real major point is: “There are a couple components I want to touch on here - As mentioned elsewhere, we're still evaluating the adblock Manifest V3 changes, so w

I was in BevMo a few weeks back and there was a similar robot. It had a screen on the front to look up what you’re searching for and it would bring you to it. I decided to give it a try since I was trying to find watermelon flavored liquor

There are, but they’re expensive. There’s Google’s Jamboard and Microsoft’s Studio Hub as a couple of examples. You could also go the iPad and Apple Pencil route and just use similar apps, or the apps for those products (i.e. Microsoft Whit

That’s what was said when this plan first started last year. However, it’s been consistently progressing over the months. When it’s progressing, it’s no longer just talk. They’re clearly adamant about making this a reality.

Will Google ever provide a Chrome OS “distro” to install on non-Chromebook machines? I’m aware of things like CloudReady by Neverware[1] which seem to have some investment from Google, but last I checked, it did not have support for Android
