I don’t keep up with the drama. I use Kagi and disabled the AI. Simple as that. Does DDG make it easy to disable?

I believe climate change is a politicized topic and not focused on the real reasons that our climate is changing. This is the standard method politicians use to get people to fear something and side with a certain political party. Politics should be removed from climate change because it’s not political, It’s historical/science based. Looking at historical data shows that well before humanity started polluting the air that the climate had huge fluctuations due to other factors. These other factors are what we need to do more research into and that some people have pretty good theories on what the factors could have been

You misread or misinterpreted what I said. The main climate change talks are trying to say humanity is what’s primarily causing climate change. This is false as per the historical data in reference to the Holocene period. I also stated that we shouldn’t discount trying our best to take care of our planet. Since humanity is not the primary cause of climate change we should be focused on larger issues and not politicize this stuff

What type might I be? I didn’t deny human induced climate problems, just that they are sensationalized. Science is constantly evolving and relatively recent evidence shows what I originally stated with the temperature fluctuations of the Holocene.

Totally misconstruing what I said

If you look at temperature data for the past 15,000yrs or so you’d see that we are in the Holocene with a great temperature for humans to survive. The temperature for the duration of the Holocene period fluctuates a little which is the climate change we’re seeing. The scale is so small though that the climate change we’re seeing isn’t meaningful to any greater change and infact we’re on a downward trend within the fluctuation.

Now all that is not to say that we shouldn’t take measures to not destroy our environment, because we should care about our planet. There are so many more important and more immediate things to be worrying about than this grand idea of climate change, such as the magnetic pole shift

It’ll certainly cause more people to get malware by normalizing people to scan QR codes on a whim without thinking

Lots of California residents who believed lock downs during COVID were necessary also seem to not care that he, among other politicians gathered at fancy restaurants at the same time

FYI, on many pumps if you hit a button (I’ve found typically bottom right) it’ll mute the ad

I use LibreElec which is a Linux distro of sorts. It has CEC that works for me

Install Kodi and pirate shows from those services.

The fact that they keep pushing the envelope with more and more ads and higher costs show that people are willing to go along with it. That is sad to think about

My TCL disables aftermarket CEC remotes after being taken offline, even when it was previously working great

DigiKam is more for cataloging and DarkTable is better for editing

I haven’t looked at this is some time but now it supports my watch. This is awesome!

That’s quite an assumption and also inaccurate. All I said was that Apple is not a good TV box due to it spying on you (in response to the OP saying it is the best streaming box). I never suggested anything about Google

I do. What about it?

The best TV box would not spy on you, so not Apple.

🤦

Oh, thanks! I hadn’t noticed actually!
