Oh, no disrespect intended! Where I come from though we use cheese instead of curds, it’s practically a national dish.

Cheese and gravy (not the Canadian thing)

Damn, I used to like their crunch corners.

Not the whole country but Mallorca and the Canary Islands had similar protests. I do wonder how the south coast feels about all the Brits going there.

I degoogled to Proton mail initially. I didn’t like that I couldn’t search my emails (a security thing or something? But annoying) and then their Drive was absolutely useless on macos. I had about 100gb and it couldn’t sync even half of it.

After much help from support I eventually moved away to a combo of Fastmail, Mega and OnlyOffice.

Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it’s banned, it’s a government worker policy.

As a Manxman I approve 👍 I’m actually surprised how much of the Island is still there.

Looks like We Bare Bears

Yeah I guess if you’ve been using it for a long time and have favourites built up that would work. I remember when YouTube started and it was pretty good, but with every video trying to game the algorithms I couldn’t imagine trying to start afresh now.

The people that say it’s their main form of entertainment must have to wade through so much crap to get to anything good, I just don’t see the point.

I don’t get the appeal of YouTube. I use it for maybe the odd music video or something, but often you’ll just get someone’s annoying commentary instead of the actual thing.

I live without it and it’s great! Try it.

All of these AI prompts sound like begging. We’re begging computers to do things for us now.

I see that makes sense. So what does making it public/blending traffic do?

I’m still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?

We’ve come on holiday by mistake.

Photopea is great

How do you become a beta reader?

I read through all of them a couple of years ago, he’s one of my favourite writers and all the books are pretty good. They jump around a lot and try different things which keep it interesting, from what I remember.

I read Sleep recently, it’s really good!

Currently reading A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. There’s also a first book called A Memory Called Empire and both are very good.
