  • annything but google is an improvement but none deserve a recommendation.

    ddg is just bing with privacy features but still cozy with microsoft and allows some of their trackers.

    Bing itself, does not need introducing as not being a good alternative.

    Startpage is to google what ddg is to bing.

    Searxng… being open source so you can check yourself if it doesn’t have trackers might be an improvement but if you are not self hosting it can you trust who is not to run custom snoopers? And if you do self host it… its still obtaining results from google and bing your as anonymous as the server ip.

    Not to disagree on the topic but “if you can’t finnish it, don’t start it” is absolutely horrible advice when its about a creative art like writing.

    If i am not wrong there is a whole writing style about just starting without knowing yourself where its going to end.

    I highly dislike capitalism but i can see that once you have enough material to sell some of it, even if incomplete as a series. Many people would take the opportunity. I don’t know the authors economic background but for a starving artist with high potential that first book sales could be the push required to finish a series.

    I blame capitalism, both for putting artists in this position and for the disrespect of big media towards their own content quality. Its always the money must flow, at every cost!



  • This is undoubtedly sigma levels of love from dad. You clearly mean the world to him.

    I am not going to say this is a perfect tactic though because for me someone micromanaging my life and forces me to be physically active would backfire so hard. But in theory all of those are textbook ways to deal with depression, healthy body and mind, structured lifestyle…


  • I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.

    Wouldn’t it?

    There are many biological and neurological reasons on why we can feel fatigue/tired. consuming definitely affects it in a meaningful way.

    I would point at all the caffeinated stuff that exists but even a piece of fruit can grant you a short buff.

    Eventually you will require sleep but science is still trying to understand why exactly that is.
