Time to ditch #duckduckgo (lemmy.world)

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....

I use DDG, tho' it's with a VPN. And it seems to work just fine. shrug

The Prince is a common name for A. augustus. Maybe do a spore print, just to be sure. Did you find a lot?

@ForestOrca@kbin.social avatar

The scent is right. And that deer eat it, makes it sound like food. That's how I first found white chanterelles.

Compare to A. augustus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_augustus) -

Agreed! Tho' there is so much more in each decade listing that could be shared. Science and knowledge continue to move forward.

Umm, doesn't one have to backup anything one wants to save/ have access to in the future? Aren't upgrades a thing will all software? I'm not sure how this is different for Signal versus any other messaging app. Or any app / client that produces documents, etc?

I just checked the Signal Support (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Backup-and-Restore-Messages). And it appears there is a method generally, but not for iOS. Tho' screenshots work. And I understand how not backing up, and disappearing messages contribute to security.

Same. I've been supporting it for some years now, but I'm upping the ante. I have many friends, family, and business associates I've been able to get on Signal. It's a super useful app, and a crucial privacy service. Let's do what we can to keep it going.

Ich war bei ich_iel, es ist ein schöner Ort. Aber wenn Sie Störe wollen, echte Störe, kommen Sie auf Turtle Island (nordamerikanischer Kontinent) vorbei. Wir haben sogar Bier. :-D

As you know, I am in charge of these things, so Stör Island it will be from now on.

View boxes are great! Simple to make, and easy to use.

The last solar eclipse I saw, someone had brought lace fabric to hang up in such a way that the Sun's light would shine through it and onto a wall, making many 'eclipse shadows'. I was quite visually pleasing.

RO removes up to 99% of microplastics. Ceramic water filters, water distillation, and nanofiltration also remove microplastics.

You really need this to get the effect: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CVZHk0nt5j4

The full effect requires at least 100+ little kids merrily singing this nonsense song at the top of their lungs.
