My understanding is that a locally hosted SearXNG instance doesn't really give you any privacy, unless you "dilute" your searches by letting others do searches from your instance too.

I'm willing to forgive ffmpeg because it can do an insane amount of stuff. It's nice to know whenever I have a weird media related need (converting a file, cropping and compressing a video for discord, etc) that I already have a tool capable of doing it on my machine. Just takes a quick search for the command and I'm ready to go.
To be honest, I kept a text file of all my most common ffmpeg commands in my video folder for quick reference.
I've long heard arguments in favor of laser printers, but after finding out that every laser printer is printing yellow tracking dots on every page it prints, it's made me question if I actually want one. I haven't been able to find any confirmation that inkjet printers have tracking dots. It's very possible some do, but in comparison it sounds like every laser printer does.
I currently have an Epson ecotank, to refill it I just pour ink in from a bottle. The ink is super cheap (at least compared to regular inkjets, and there's no way for them to restrict what brand of liquid ink I use. Honestly it's a very decent printing experience, and I'm not sure I'd be better off with a Brother Laser.
Yeah same. I find I mentally do a lot better by improving things I can change rather than stressing over things I can't.
To be fair, the amount of tech support and help that low-skilled users need on windows would suggest this isn't really true. A lot of these people have been using windows for decades and still have frequent issues with it.
I'm not claiming that most Linux distros are better than windows with this, but I don't think windows can be claimed to be a good OS for the tech-inept either.
Topgrade is great, one of the first things I install on a new system.
People don't like the creator of Brave because he's supposedly anti-trans. He donated to some anti-trans political group iirc.
The browser also has some crypto stuff (web advertisment replacement, block chain based decentralized browser sync), and a lot of people hate crypto these days.
Personally I think it's a good browser, the web needs advertising revenue to function and it's solution to replacing web ads with optional browser ads that still pay the websites you visit seems like a decent solution. I respect the push to use a non-chromium browser, but personally I rely too much on browser tab groups to use anything Firefox based.
The earth is a moving object, so all portals are moving through 3d space at all times.
Thank you!
Truthfully it was pretty low effort to make, but I appreciate it anyways.
Objects coming out of the portal in "a" have to have velocity coming out (they don't magically appear outside of the portal, they move out inch by inch/ cm by cm). So in a you would actually have double the deceleration on the train because it has to accelerate people leaving the portal and then instantly decelerate them once they have fully exited the portal.
Some people are saying this is good, but Microsoft recently changed my default search engine to bing "In case it was accidentally changed or changed by another program". I have zero faith they won't abuse this, they are becoming ever increasingly pushy about using edge and switching to bing.
