Automaker CEO Elon Musk Strips UAW Twitter Verification as Union Strikes Against Big Three
  • I’m not bothering to dig it back up, but I thought I remember something like it was based on a policy when a verified user changes their logo. The verification was put back once reverified. Stupid, yes, but if policy it makes more sense.

    I’m not big on defending Xitter, but IF this is uniformly handled, this is the least of our reasons to get torches and pitchforks after them.

    Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)?
  • If that’s the case foxnews would like cut out most of the challenge. I’m not old enough to have adult children yet but I still have a hard time grasping news channels are entertainment venues.

    News used to be actual news done by reporters. It had credibility and a degree of respect. This shift has been near impossible for my parents generation

    Say I want to make an app on my phone for personal use. How to begin?
  • Not sure if it would meet your requirements, but if specific enough to your phones current control capabilities; would a shortcut or automation app meet your needs. I seem to remember them being able to prompt for input. It might be a more COTS approach for you depending on your needs.

    Is Brave Search trustworthy?
  • Must be. I had difficulties with it at one point, and I ended up living at the URL from some search results and was able to figure out what it wanted. I thought the missing slash might have been your issue.

  • I think Qwant is as close as you’re going to get unless you can set up searchxng to do what you are asking.

    Now, you might be able to get better diversity in results if you use a vpn to move to more diverse or contrasting cities.

    I often find news sources external to the US to be very interesting insights to what we see rammed down our throats.

  • I've moved almost completely to Proton Mail. I expect I'll end up keeping a Google or Outlook account, not for use as a primary account, but as a recovery account or to access other services.

    I currently see a lot less value in the google account than outlook, but that's because my family does need access to full blown office. Libre office does 98% of what I need, but on occasion I do need office. An install of 2010 would probably meet that requirement as well. Firefox is set to delete cookies on exit, and I do not ever stay signed into these services.

    Does anyone else keep free service email accounts around, and if so, what do you use them for? What's the pit-fall I'm not seeing if I try to restrict them and treat them with the Principle of Least Privileged model?

  • Perplexity is my favorite AI as well. I’ve not found anything else that pushes me in the right direction when I don’t know what to search.

    Here’s my current blend: Qwant is my daily driver. Kagi for more targeted searches. Perplexity for AI searching.

    I’ve not found a replacement for google maps though.

    Microsoft is removing WordPad from Windows after nearly 30 years
  • Did this have a use beyond rtf support out of the box? I feel like there’s either “I have to have Word” or “I don’t need to pay for office, Libre office for me!"

    Libre office does 98% of what I need the online version of office for the other one offs.

    Are there linux alternatives to ChromeOS?
  • Unless you really need/want browser only, you might get away with any “lightweight” distro depending on the specs of the machine.

    I assume you’re trying to install on something like a Chromebook. This might get you in the right direction. https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/best-linux-distros-for-chromebook

    It would have a lot more functionality too.

    What's with telling YEARLY salaries?
  • This must be very regional. Additionally, I’d bet a lot of this might depend on industry.

    Someone who’s hourly might have fluctuations in their hours over a set period of time, like a month, or even week to week.

    Seems like a number should always be coupled with a unit.
