I tried using DDG for about 3 months, until I had to ditch it. I want to use it, but its results are even worse than Googles.

While on Google I might have to scroll past the ads, sponsored links and obvious AI blog results, the first page will usually at least contain a relevant result somewhere, whereas DDG simply doesn’t bother to show any relevant results at all. Even on it’s first page, it will stray far from the actual search term.

feddit.de has had massive database problems for like 2 months now. It’s not accessible via the default web interface, only via third party (web)apps. It’s very likely that moderation of feddit.de communities has been increasingly difficult for the mods.

Yet, I gotta eat

does that cost extra?

I am not falling for that stupid trick again. Everyone knows planes don’t use blinker fluid because that would freeze during flight, they use plasma.

“creation of a unified reich”

I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece “The Hardening”, but I guess my memory has played me.

I consider this my “Mandela-Effect” moment.

Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

That’s an insult to beautiful cunts around the world

Same

its complete trash and dont understand why people seem to love it so much but its huge.

back when we stil cared, the fact that it was complete trash was why we loved it.
We looked forward to a bunch of people wearing tinfoil suits performing the most eurodance song you could imagine.
Or polish girls pointlessly churning butter and washing clothes on stage in an oversexualized fashion.
Or one of the most epic sax performances.
Or just Lordi being Lordi

Particularly, because the ESC was always commented by a radio moderator named Peter Urban who would make the snarkiest remarks about any perfomers.
No one I know cares about the “serious” performances. Every year, we wait for the ridiculous, over-the-top, pointless performances. Very rarely does the ESC produce an actually good song.

it takes basically no extra effort

I’d assume one needs to verify the email by clicking a link, so to spam user1@domain.tld, user2@domain.tld would mean you need access to those inboxes. That means you need to go through the effort to actually create those emailadresses on whatever freemail service you chose, or you need to host the emailserver yourself and have all mails run into a catchall inbox.
Hosting your own emailserver is definately not “basically no extra effort”, even for a lot of tech-savvy people, paying for a hosted email service using your own domain is easier, but also seems like not a good investment just to spam a petition website.

The foo+bar@gmail.com functionality, however, is pretty well known tool - even by non-tech savvy people. Even some people I know that I consider basically tech-illiterate have known this for years, they have told me when they found out about it and asked me if I was aware of this functionality.

The first one I mentioned requires preparation, setting up email accounts or an email server, the second one is basically already set up for most email users and ready to go, the latter is therefore definately a lot less effort to pull off.

They have not learned anything about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.

Thank you, Oscar-winning actress Margot Robbie.

which instance of theseu’s ship am I?

It is unfortunate and I was looking at dozens of other open source launchers, but I was not able to find one that fits my needs and is as customizable as Nova Launcher :(

That one, I wasn’t a big fan of. But maybe that’s because I am not a native English speaker. Maybe its better for native speakers.

I can only recommend Randall Munroe’s books “what if”, " how to" and “what if 2”. They are really entertaining comedy.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or possibly OpenRCT2 (depending on whether or not it works on the hardware)
