Why would you presume that? Maybe they’re suffering and trying to raise awareness.

3 to 6 months if such a bitter sweet age. On the one hand, it’s when they start turning in to little people and their personality starts emerging. But it’s also where it starts to get really hard. I’m not sure if it gets easier or you get better at dealing with it, but it gets better.

We’re at 18 months and it’s a really fun and exciting age but I miss the little goofy baby. The last few months before they become mobile and tear your house to shreds are precious.

I’ve been thinking about doing this because I have a herniated lumbar disk and every seat hurts except the seat in my truck. Hopefully this it a temporary situation but it is insanely comfortable, maybe worth it.

I’ve used Linux since the 90s and I’ve never installed a flat pack or snap or whatever. They’re not required.

Exercise lowers your resting heart rate

Software defined radios are kinda a stretch. The radio hardware isn’t running Linux. There’s a receiver that converts the signal to digital and then a Linux computer processes the signal. Basically the exact same thing as my computer having a radio receiver plugged in to it but packaged up as a standalone thing. If that counts, my keyboard runs Linux.

The company he’s synonymous with is very much not controversy free

It’s a site that sells things. Someone looked at Google analytics and saw that the term “heel counter” gets searched a lot. It’s a topic that requires like 2 sentences to explain but Google rewards lengthy articles that have the magic phrase the most times. So some SEO “expert” ends up writing a lengthy article about something mundane and easy to explain and then wedges the word “heel counter” in to it as many times as possible. Which makes it read weird as shit if you don’t know what’s going on.

If you Google heel counter, this is the first result for a reason.

Go to the hardware store and buy a metal pipe to use as a walking stick

Yeah you’re the kind of anecdote they’re warning about

I’m not sure this is really a solvable problem but at the end of the day, DuckDuckGo is a for profit corporation. Privacy is more of a marketing angle than something they actually care about. Last year they allowed Microsoft to track mobile users of their “privacy focused” browser which is obviously against their stated purpose for existing. They backtracked after facing backlash but it’s done lasting damage to their reputation. They also got caught by a security researcher, they weren’t at all upfront about it. I think that’s enough to shatter any hope that they are genuine or trustworthy.
