Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

Its better than google these days. The results are more relevant and relatively unpolluted with AI shit results than google.

I’ll use Kagi when my searches aren’t associated with my payment info and presumably other fingerprinting.

“Hello, police? Yes, this is Kristi Noem. Yes, I have a dog that got lost, so could you find it and shoot it for me? Normally, I’d just shoot it myself before it got lost, but I was running late this morning. Thanks.”

There’s been plenty done since. Getting a CDL these days is ridiculously onerous and expensive.

Look up MELT. It’s now over $20k and hundreds of hours of class and driving. It’s crazy.

Hell, I challenged the test 30 years ago, it was basically hook up a trailer, drive around for an hour and do some backups, then show you can unhook a trailer. Never did a class, but I’m also a farmer so I’ve been driving trucks since I could reach the pedals.

It’s truck driving, not rocket surgery. Stay awake and avoid killing busloads of kids. Millions of miles driven a day without incidents. As far as miles per accident, even old CDL drivers are orders of magnitude safer than the run of the mill driver with a 5000lb weapon in their hands, yet I don’t see the authorities doing shit-all about the yahoos I see lobbing their vehicle blindly down the QE2

Used that when playing UO with buddies. Damn, now I feel old.

my brother has a couple mental issues on that he should have had an appropriate adult in the room

My brother is now a police officer himself which is wild.

Yah, that tracks.

It’s a really awesome OS, the UI is one of the slickest and most intuitive gesture based UIs I’ve ever used. But it’s so limited for apps etc. Damn shame, because I enjoyed every minute using it on my Xperia.

You haven’t lived until you’ve compiled a 3com driver in order to get token ring connectivity so you can download the latest kernel source that has that new ethernet thing in it.

Look, if my code compiles on the first try, I’d call that a miracle as well, but I ain’t no saint.

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

GrapheneOS has a sandboxed Google Play that works fine with any banking apps I’ve used. You can also move them to a work profile to segregate them further and still used them.

I wouldn’t be afraid to use Proxmox for small and middle size business. It’s solid and based on solid, opensource tech. As long as people make sure they get paid, I’m sure they’ll get even better.

Good on you for making sure your clients pay for support, that’s how opensource thrives.

Could just use a regular DC motor and limit switches.

These cargo vans are heavier and get worse fuel economy than a half ton with a similar engine. I’m not sure why lemmings hold them out as the more viable alternative to pickups. They’re great if you have a bunch of stuff to protect from prying eyes but don’t tow well and you can’t put long, heavy or tall things in.

The US will do the right thing one day, after they’ve tried everything else.

This is 90 minutes of domestic use. It’s a nothingburger story. I wouldn’t get too far up Uncle Joe’s ass.

If it’s not genocide, then he shouldn’t be afraid of the trial.

Meh, I deleted this, it was just going to get misinterpreted by literalists.

Maybe he’s worried about being next to Bibi in the dock. Because he doesn’t have much less blood on his hands in that instance.

Maybe they can get the corruption trial done at the same time they decide whether to hang this despot.

Performance compared to KVM is really poor. And it handles graphics poorly.
