The difference is countries that vote for parties vs voting for an individual. I don’t know why anyone would think one person would have the best interests of the country at heart.

Yeah I’m an older millennial and there are things I don’t have in common with younger ones.

Kamala just slips in as a boomer technically, by like a year or something.

I thought millennials started at '82?

We call it a sausage sizzle (democracy sausage at voting time) and they’re delicious 🤤

Yep, and it’s compulsory voting, on a sensible day of the week and even pre-poll so you can just go in early if you want to. And sometimes there are sausages.

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)

Huh, I actually had to look at the At a Glance but to see what you were talking about. I’ve just taken it as a given that I can’t use the top 1/3 of the screen or the bottom strip.

I’m not a gestures guy at all, I like buttons!

I feel like I’m the only one who still reverts navigation to the 3 dots and doesn’t use any of the new stuff they’re releasing.

This taskbar looks like it’s going to make things happen without me wanting them to, I hope we can turn it off.

Damn, I used to like their crunch corners.

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.

I wonder if it’s when it switched to the Gutenberg editor maybe?

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?

Damn I forgot about Reader 😞 I kept my late-00s “Legacy” Google Apps account until the end of last year, when their discounted rate (after fully removing free) was about to go up.
