I’m literally designing some code now and realized that I used DuckDuckGo to find man pages for system calls… from my Arch laptop. 😑

I use uBlock Origin and didn’t see any ads at all. Although the site did pop up and ask for money since it detected the ad blocker.

I honestly don’t know how people browse without an ad blocker. 😬

Or the Obama administration.

I think that Netanyahu had to move ahead of the US, since he’s running out of enemies that haven’t been bombed into submission. It didn’t occur to me that he would attack Iran.

That’s right. He’s still making his excellent history podcast, Hardcore History, at his traditional relaxed pace. 😆

A podcaster who used to make a podcast called Common Sense stopped because he felt he had said everything he believed and there wasn’t any point in making new shows.

He did one recently which basically said “well it happened just like I expected, but I didn’t expect it would be so sudden”.

(At least, that’s what I took from it…)

The article explains the differences. In the first term tariffs were targeted and rolled out slowly. The person in the article expected the same in Trump’s second term.

Will you please explain?

Yes sorry I was unclear. The South African president said that South Africa has a violence problem, not just for white farmers.

Indeed the president of South Africa said exactly that in the meeting.

Thanks for this link. It’s kind of amazing and I like it because it says what should be obvious to us all: public homes are a good idea.
