DuckDuckGo has also been my goto for years, but it is also getting swamped with SEO-rigged spam sites.

2 days ago I was making multiple searches looking for the websites of specific hotels and spa facilities, and none of them showed up in the first 4 pages of results, even when searching by exact name.

Out of desperation I switched back to Google, and, surprisingly, it was willing to give me what I was looking for on the first page. (But not as first result, of course..)

True, but DDG seems, at the very least, no more afflicted than other engines. If I'm supposed to pay for a search engine, I expect something better than DDG.


And if you really like to suffer, you can do it like the locals and try working through a copy of le "Bescherelle"..

Just out of curiosity as I don't own a vacuum robot: do yo loose any key functionality by rooting your device with Valetudo, compared to what the manufacturer offers?

Yes, they put that on their website. That if you are looking for features, stick with the original firmware. Valetudo is for privacy. That being said, they still support most of the features and honestly I don't miss anything.

Thank you for the links and the write-up!

I'll share them with a friend who loves astronomy and who loves to organize star-gazing events that he livens up with his Unistellar telescope.


> This reminds me of an adventured died just a few months ago at age of 40 after suffering insult.

I did not understand what was meant with "suffering insult", so with the help of DeepL and his wikipedia page I could determine that he passed away due to a brain tumour.

Not OC, but funny that in my native language "stroke" is "insult" - so I understood that and didn't catch it that in english it doesn't make sense. :)


Woops, translated it wrong. Insult I meant Stroke. But he had stroke earlier.


> If you use qtcreator, it’s, and I hate this word, trivial. Most of the work comes from setting up the qt kit in qtcreator… which takes about 5 minutes.

And as QtCreator is first-class citizen for everything related to Qt, you'll have all the Qt types correctly resolved/unrolled/displayed/annotated by gdb, which makes your debugging experience a lot, lot more convenient.


You don’t need to use qt anything at all. It’s just an IDE, but yes qt is a first class citizen, it works well.


> It's also fun to tell Copilot that the code will violate a license. It will seemingly always tell you it's fine. Safe legal advice.

Perfectly embodies the AI "startup" mentality. Nice.. /s


> Glyphosate is used to desiccate wheat to make it easier to harvest.

Wheat, soy, lentils, ...


Yeah, makes absolute sense.

A bit like Toyota putting a GM engine in their car, because the Toyota engine division is too self-centered, focusing to much on efficiency.


You mean toyota putting bmw engine (supra). Your statement is contradicting as Toyota has TRD, which focuses on the track performance. They just couldn't keep up with the straight six perf+reliability when comparing to their own 2jz


> toyota putting bmw engine (supra).

Or Toyota using a Subaru engine (Scion FRS, Toyota GT86)


Buying a Supra is stupid. Either buy a proper BMW with the b58/Zf8 speed and get a proper interior or stop being poor and buy an LC500.

Better yet, get a C8 corvette and gap all of the above for a far better value. You can get 20% off msrp on factory orders with C8 corvettes if you know where to look.


Pop already! Let's get all this nonsense over with.
