Saved you a click.

Also: They probably mostly lived there once.

It wasn’t profitable. This bait and switch was a long time coming.

I have an offline dashcam and it’s fine. It does everything I need it to, and does nothing I don’t want it to. It can’t connect to the internet so it can’t spy on me if it wanted to.

That’s Bing’s fault.

You don’t even need the website. I just set the default search engine to DDG in my browser.

A search app makes zero sense to me.

Who will fall for the IPOAI rug-pull?

If you search for an obvious thing like “Messages”, the top result is malware.

I think I got it on sale for 5% of that.

I use jellyfin now. Plex was too bloaty and restrictive.

A VPN is useless. You’re introducing another entity that can track you.
