I’d feel worse if they didn’t so richly deserve it.

For once, I hope Verizon wins

Love the handle, BTW. :)

I think downloading is against Google’s TOS. Whether that makes it illegal is a question for a lawyer.

I’ve never used a VPN with it either. But it should work, especially with an exit node in a country where Google has no incentive to/is prohibited from interfering with third party viewers.

I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.

If you trust the government that controls a TLD, then use the site. If not, proceed with caution.

Good to know. Thanks!

It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.

The Cask of Amontillado?

So there isn’t actually a problem with GIMP.

Owned up to the mistake, then suggested alternatives while they were finishing Maps, which had been rushed due to the launch of Android and Jobs not wanting a competitor’s CEO sitting on Apple’s board.

I have no idea what you’re on about messaging. I can use it just fine.

Messages simply cannot be removed from their context and retain their meaning. According to Paul McCartney, as you say, this is simply a song about opposites.

I say yes
You say no
You say stop
And I say go, go, go….

Nobody’s perfect.

I don’t know of any MMS problem, but I also don’t generally text outside of iMessages. Maps was a cockup, and Apple owned it.

Firefox will let you whitelist sites that are allowed to your location. Just whitelist those sites. Or use a search engine that doesn’t respect privacy, say Google or StartPage.

That may be a feature of DDG. In respecting privacy, it may be ignoring your location. Since I never let sites have access to location data if I can prevent it, I don’t know.

I haven’t noticed it appearing unasked in internet search results, and I never use the desktop search except for on-device queries.

I don’t think Spaz is thinking at all. That was how Reddit imploded.

DuckDuckGo is my default search tool. It’s great.

And slow down search even more?
