More likely is a background/credit check service that runs statistical analysis on genetic factors that correlate with late payments or property damage as part of their renter screening service.

This drives me crazy with ddg. When it happens I use searx instead.

Public or private, it makes no difference to them.

I’m not gonna say that should be illegal, but, like, a thousand dollars feeds my family for nearly a year.

We still scroll “down” to the “bottom” of the page, so how is moving your finger up more natural? Maybe i’m just old now.

That is true.

Wait, someone paid more than $600 for a fucking concert?

This is why you carry a lightweight cell jammer.

Ddg is driving me crazy with correcting what i type to give more generalized results. Searx is my new favorite. It’s not just a google reskin.

Another vote for protonmail. It’s honestly not as good as gmail, but it works well enough for what I need.

This has been my solution as well. Searx by default, ddg when necessary, wiby for fun, resulthunter as a backup, google when all else fails.

Fluxbox is simple, flexible, fast, and beautiful. I’ve been running fluxbox/debian for like 20 years and couldn’t be happier.

Most recently, trying to directly access user files through explorer. More disturbingly, while trying to uninstall “system” software. It seems like windows resembles unrooted android more and more with each version.

I get permission denied notices with a fully permissioned admin account on win7. I never got that with xp. That’s unacceptable on a machine i own.

Firefox still isn’t chrome.

That’s the traditional model, but I don’t think it applies anymore. We seem to be living in a post-nation state era. People are fully reliant on the top dozen or so companies, so those companies have tremendous power over government. Some governments are only just now realizing that fact and are trying to push back, but it’s way too late.
