Here I am on my phone. I do not desire this format. And nothing you have posted suggests that anyone wants this format.

All it shows is device, not preference.

Anytime something is recorded wide screen my wish is that it remains in that format, regardless of platform I am on.

If I’m on my phone it takes less than half a second to rotate my screen and view as intended, on my desktop I can’t do that.

Also in this case quite a bit of the original was lost, seeing the YouTube version is much better.

Still using the buds I got with my galaxy S4. They’ve outlasted 4 sets of BT buds.

LoL… Really?

1 number apart, but considerably different. Sure.

Difference between x5 and x7 maybe. To pass x6 a device must be submerged to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes.

IPx7 is for a device intended to operate permanently submerged. So not a phone.

That fact your picking the difference shows you don’t know the difference.

IP67 is just a marketing gimmick. I’d be impressed if a phone with this rating would endure 12 months submerged and still function. Who needs this anyway?

Galaxy S5 was IP67 with a headphone socket, removable battery and dedicated microSD card slot. Others have also existed. Taking like adding a headphone socket costs more than 5 cents is stupid.

I’m a Bluetooth buds convert now, but I’d still like the choice.

The person that made the claim never responded. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

However I did respond, when I could.

So point stands, an accusation was made without evidence, and that accusation is still there, and now mine and one other post responds to that accusation… that again is without evidence.

My issues is, when I made that last post, why was I asked for a source, but no one asked the person making the claim against DDG for a source?

If the people asking me for a source had also asked the original claimant for a source I’d have no issue.

The practice of asking the counter claimant for a source and not the claimant is rife, unfair, unreasonable and needs to be called out.

If seems far too common to accept a say so when an accusation is made online.

Asking for a source isn’t unreasonable in a more important setting.

It’s more an issue that no one asks for source for the original accusation.

It’s the kind of action that lets baseless and faulty accusations get more traction than the truth.

Is it fair that I have to post a source when someone criticizing doesn’t?

I’m just a passing stranger that just happens to have good knowledge about a significant misunderstanding that happened a year ago.

I don’t walk around with ‘sources’ to all of the knowledge I’ve ever gained hanging out of my back pocket.

This is why “source?” posts are stupid and unreasonable, double so when in response to something where a source was never provided.

Now… that all said, I do have a moment now that I didn’t have previously to provide additional information.

This article… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490515 …Is a starting point, and more info can be found with your own search.

The basic gist was that it was claims DDG pass user data that could identify a user to Microsoft from searches, however this was never the case.

I have to allegiance with DDG… they do an ok job. But I do indeed think it unfair they get continuously accused of wrongdoing, even still to this day as evidenced here.

This is just another case of bad, negative or incorrect information getting more publicity than the facts.

Absolutely.

As convenient as Amazon is for example, how is it fair that one guy profits off the labour of tens of thousands.

Just one example of how the internet has made some things worse, not better.

You suck in 1998?

The power that major tech companies weild combined with the addiction the vast majority of the population have to their products is telling me otherwise.

If anything things have gotten worse. Used to have 6 different supermarket bands in my town, but despite population booming we’re now stuck with a duopoly that has 6 shops between them (Coles / Woolworths) and 1 minor left over (Aldi).

That’s what I’m seeing as a 40+ Aussie that’s lived in the same town all that time.

Nothing. Just a misunderstanding that blew up.

Run? WTF you on about? Dead men can’t run and no one is surviving that dish.

Melbourne can go either way for Christmas Day.

This year pissing rain and thunder, top of 21c and 75% humidity round my area.

I’d rank it 3.6

Not terrible, but not great.

At this point I’m limiting what I access and where. I’m targeting a more 1990’s internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.

Very rarely do I have a positive view on posts in this com, but this is a rare exception.

No mindless, pointless, circle jerk hating, but rather a positive and legitimate wish and view toward an alternative.

People can hate on cars so they want, but since people and places end up making cars nesecary.

Earlier this year I needed to go Melbourne to Albury, usually a trip done in a car, but this time I had use of a car at the other end so I took the train. Was a fantastic trip. Access to a small food bar, toilets, the occasional stop at more significant towns.

Trains kick ass.

I’d love to see a better in town solution for transport, buses and whatever both in Albury and my home town aren’t really up to scratch yet.

Do not search for this.

Glass is glass, and glass breaks.

Sounds like she’s rarely out never noticed you use it either… Which makes it interesting both because of the uncommon UI and workflow, and she has not had regular observations to learn from.

For those of us that have operated both it’s a non issue.

But think of how you’d go about it with zero knowledge. I bet most would try dialling the number without lifting the receiver.

I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.
