Their own apps?

It's also worth noting that if Google has to pay, they may very well just not bother to show that information in search results which also hurts small search engines who rely on Google for part of their search Indexing.
I love seeing a Big Hit reference. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who's ever seen that movie.
Mostly my problems with Steam OS (and windows Big Picture Mode) is the seeming lack of options for controllers that aren't Xbox or steam controllers. Steam used to be excellent at this but more recently in Windows 11 (and in Steam OS) the controller support is great when it works but if you want a more granular experience it's just not there). I somehow have less settings and options for controllers support than I did in Windows 10, and the way it detects controllers cannot seemingly be changed. So if you're like me and own an SN 30 Pro2 controller with back paddles, you can't configure them without jumping through a whole lot of hoops. And in game that means that you're just not going to be able to use them which is a minor inconvenience but one that's been bugging me.
Google Home used to sell smoke and CO2 detectors. What... Just. Google. What are you doing?
If I'm being blinded by the car behind me and I can't pull off to let them pass I'm adjusting the mirrors.
I have questions about why you'd take an open cup of coffee into a public bathroom.
Listen, if it were a government website it would be unusable for the vast majority of users, and basically impossibly to navigate, so we got that going for us. Looking at you DTS.
And how many have been bought up by scalpers?
I did after the update. Their comment doesn't account for people who are old enough to vote/and counted in the census but still are not eligible voters. 78.76 percent of eligible voters voted. The total number of people who voted is 10,999,265 out of a total number of eligible voters 13,949,168.
This is important context that was missing from both the original comment and the edited comment.
57 percent of the people who voted voted for abortion rights. That's 6,269,581 voters. Since the bar for a measure to pass in Florida is 60 percent, we know that if the other 2,949,903 people had voted at all and they'd voted in favor that would have passed the abortion rights initiatives on the ballot. In fact the abortion rights initiative only needed 109,927 more votes in order to pass. It was extremely close to passing.
22million people who are eligible to vote? I want to know if that's everyone who lives in Florida (man women, children, citizens, non-citizens etc), or just eligible voters.
Also some of them are much better quality than the ones Google sells. As someone who has bought many a Google band (Fitbit band) that ended up being high priced garbage. I learned my lesson after 5, but that's still too many.
Graphene OS has this option.
We don't necessarily need billionaires. It would help, but there are enough Democrats/liberals that we could lobby ourselves. But nobody ever wants to join a lobby and nobody is pushing it. If large companies can lobby, so can we if we band together.
We need to impose term limits, fix education, reschedule drugs like pot, and pass some amendments to the constitution. Change the supreme Court so the people can recall them by popular vote for things like treason and knowing conflict of interest that they act on. And the electoral college needs an overhaul. Every state should follow the same criteria for choosing electoral voters and they should do ranked voting in addition. We also need to have federal anti-gerrymandering laws etc.
And for God's sakes we need to look into and reform how many senators and congressmen states get because that's just broken as hell.
For what it's worth, Americans are fed up too. And exhausted.
The matte screen is enticing especially with stylus support but it's too big for what I'd use a tablet for. The pixel tablet I already have is too big, honestly.
Can they fix all the things that they promised that don't work for the current gen? Like swapping accounts based on voice commands or fingerprints etc?
It is to some degree. Lots of other new cars have lane keeping assist and automatic braking, BLIS, adaptive cruise control etc, and so on with more capable sensors and can for the most part drive without input from the driver better than the Tesla models with ultrasonic sensors or simply cameras. In fact the ones that rely solely on cameras absolutely do reportedly perform worse in testing. Musk was insistent that they could cheap out on the types of sensors used in order to make more profit and it shows. I don't think it's that tech cannot handle self driving currently. I think that it's a numbers game where the firms attempting it want to do it as cheaply as possible while promising the moon and stars which they can't deliver on a cheap budget. Vehicles like Ford's (Blue Cruise) use all kinds of sensors including radar and GPS to allow for handsfree (not self driving) and it does work. The proofs of concept are out there in the world, but the costs to go from something like that to full self driving just doesn't make it feasible for the average car manufacturer.
Yes. Additionally, videos I watch at work do the same thing without the pihole.
Custom Search Engine Creation
I've recently installed Bazzite (Fedora) on a Legion Go. I wanted to add my custom search engine to Firefox but I have no options for it. I have seen threads suggesting to just right click and add. Right click with a traditional mouse works but not in the search settings menu where I would add anything. Is this possible? (I did try to search Lemmy for this problem but didn't come back with any results). I'm still looking for a solution using different search engines but a lot of data is out of date.
Edit: I found a solution that works for me. I typed in the URL of my custom search engine and right clicked on it and had the option to add it as a custom search option. It then appeared in settings/search/default search engine in the drop down menu as an option. I can now hopefully set a shortcut etc.
I'm leaving this up in case anyone finds it useful.
UBO Lite Pulled from Firefox Store by developer
"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"
A Novel Approach to Youtube Ads
A super clever workaround for YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers sees YouTube ads sped up dramatically instead of blocking them.
Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
