The Prestige. There are so many layers to that movie. I've watched it 4 or 5 times, and each time I notice new details.

Ahh okay. That would explain it. Yeah, it's disappointing that DDG is selectively selling out. I get that they need to make money. But the content in that screenshot you shared is just ridiculous.

Wow. Yeah that sucks!

Not doubting you here, but I just tried searching for two very different terms on DDG on two different devices (Windows laptop and Android phone) and two different browsers (Firefox and Brave), and I didn't really see any ads or dodgy stuff.

The mobile Firefox version had a couple of main links at the top (they don't look like ads), and some news cards under that. But the links were all relevant. The desktop DDG was super clean, again no ads.

This was without ad blockers enabled too. I also tried it in private mode, and still clean.

What am I missing? Why is my DDG experience so clean compared to yours?

I find the fact that the Qanon loonies are appropriating the symbolism of legendary rock band Queen both hilarious and offensive.

How the fuck did she think this was anything close to a good idea?! This shows a profound lack of good judgement, and a huge failure of both respect for her job and for the safety of the crew.

Oh wow, that's a big step forward in longevity!

Thanks for the quote.

This is encouraging news. But don't perovskite solar panels degrade much quicker than silicon ones? I know they had found ways of prolonging their life by using lasers to 'smooth out' and strengthen the crystal structure of the perovskite. But even with that the last I heard was that they would still only last few a few (2-7) years.

Cool. As a parent, I'm happy for you.

I've had a similar experience. Except in my case I used lyrics for a really obscure song where I knew the writer. I asked Chat GPT, and it gave me completely the wrong artist. When I corrected it, it apologized profusely and agreed with exactly what I had said. Of course, it didn't remember that correct answer, because it can't add to it update its data source.

Thanks.

I am trying Libretube via F-droid. So far so good.

No Android version of it yet, eh? Damn.

ETA: I previously tried Vanced, but it didn't work correctly.
