My solution was changing over to another operating system. I’ve had it to here with Microsoft, and with Proton on Steam being great as it is I really had no more excuses to stick to Windows.
I was already using programs with native Linux versions, such as Blender 3D, Krita, Gimp, Libre Office. Blender 3D even renders a bit faster in Linux.
The only reason why I didn’t switch over until Microsoft started forcing Windows 11 down everyone’s throats was because of my games library. Valve eliminated that problem, hallowed be Gabe.
I guess MS Office has special features that are now essential and integrated into office businesses. But personally I’ve been using Libre Office even on Windows already. But then again, I’m the average home user.
GIANT stands for Goddard Image Analysis and Navigation Tool, and it is basically an optical navigation software. That’s right, it uses images snapped by cameras, lidar, and other sensors to find the best way forward, kind of like we humans do when we use our eyes to see where we’re going....
Thing is, searching with DDG takes time to get used to, as it doesn’t work the same way as Google. Google uses a lot of convenient algorithms that are also a double edged sword.
It’ll show me a couple of videos, then shorts, then some kind of recommendation list. If I actually want to do a complete search for the thing, and only the thing, I’m looking for, I have to go to advanced options and specify I’m looking for videos. JUST videos.
Yes. The way the default search now works is that, when you search you get:
Three or four videos that are actually from your search.
Some recommended playlists.
The shorts tray that vaguely has some content related to your search.
Maybe two or three more videos from the actual search.
“People also watch” recommendations.
“Shorts for you” recommendations.
If you want to get just your search results, cutting away shorts, playlists, and the recommendations that take up the majority of the search page, you’ll have to open up the filters and click on “videos” on the cl tent type list. Then you actually get to see the search results.

It starts by making your country better. More like in Europe here. It’s like the US actively goes out of its way to punish people who weren’t born with a silver spoon up their ass. The way the American systems work seem to me to be actively toxic to a regular person’s mental health.
So you have a country full of a large population of people getting mentally damaged from unnecessary and avoidable stress in life… And THEN there are also loads of guns.
“But most gun deaths are from people using pistols to commit suicide” gee I wonder if that doesn’t mean something, hmmm?

The Doctor regenerating as a woman was never the problem. I think Jody had good Doctor energy, she could’ve been great, but the writing was utter shite.
And the terrible writing started in Capaldi’s run already. It simply progressively got worse…

Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?
I hate peaking under the stalls or knocking doors to figure it out. The answer is so simple.
