I prefer RFC 3339. It allows you to omit the "T" for example. Like this: 1985-04-12 23:20:50Z

This reminded me of an episode of Mind Field, which shows significant improvent in cases of ADHD, Migraines, and a skin picking disorder in kids just through the placebo effect.
They use elaborate set ups and suggestions like a turned off MRI machine, fake nurses and doctors in lab coats, etc. And the kids are actually told, that it's their brain doing the healing, not the machine.

The Aliens did a little trolling
Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.

There is a distinction. Dark web is usually associated with the Tor network. Deep web is stuff you can't access normally, like your email or someones Onlyfans.
I think she actually meant dark web tho.

I was also curious, so I found this page. It looks nothing like the screenshot (maybe because Im on mobile), and the only sentence coming close, under the "Extra online protection" heading, is: "Reduce online tracking by hiding your IP address". As if that means anything if you have Google apps installed on your phone.
But after reading more, I found a link to their how-it-works page, which then linked to their github page. Is beeing open-source really enough to show it's secure and private? I still wouldn't trust them.

FOSS enthusiasts, what SaaS do you currently pay for?

If you just want to change your IP, there is no reason to use Mullvad. If you care about your privacy Mullvad is great. You can pay in xmr or even in cash by mail.

I'm also slowly getting into it. Just got a run yesterday where I got a super good wand in the hisi base. I was shooting these blue bubbles at high speed with homing. It had so much knockback that I could use only that to fly. It was the first time where I got to level 5,6 and even 7 and I was still breezing through. But I still died. I used a wand with lots of slots as storage for spells and it killed me immediately. Can't describe how terrible I felt after that...

Isn't chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

I know that many people still rely on Google's services, but speaking from my own experience, it's not hard to ditch them entirely.
I installed LineageOS 2 months ago, and was only missing my banking app, which I installed using the Aurora store and it works without any issues. For everything else I found alternatives which are, admittedly not as good/users friendly as Google's. But I wouldn't say there's no true FOSS phone OS.

installing Windows 10 pro without an account.
Have you tried installing it with no internet connection? That's what I always used to do, to get a local account during installation.

Aren't custom ROM's open source? It would be nice if you could buy a phone from big brands with it preinstalled already. That would make it so much more accesible.

Contrary to rumors, the iPhone 15 has a standard, by-the-book USB-C port

I guess you could say, that the official USB-C specifications are the "hardware manual".

Tracking can be disabled
Tracking is one of the main reasons I switched to Linux. You simply can't know if Microsoft is tracking you, even if you turn off all of the settings. That is because it's closed source.
Bloatware can be uninstalled manually/Winget/Chris Titus Tech Tools etc
Apart from this beeing exclusive to advanced users, in my experience, after updates or at least a reinstall you would have to do it again. And that was just getting on my nerves.
I never get Ads on Windows
That doesn't mean it doesn't happen for anyone else.
Look, maybe Linux is just not for you I get that. You've come accustomed to Windows and are happy with how it works for you. But for some people it might be a good choice. To give an example from my own life:
I recently installed Debian 12 KDE (looks like windows) on my step dads laptop. He is not technically inclined at all mind you. And apart from setting up auto mounting his ssd, I never had to give him tech support again after that and he is very happy with it.

Also a bit confused by this. I thought the point of searxng is to combine your preferred search engines. So couldn't I just configure ddg for the image results?

It's the Stafford Gambit, made popular by Eric Rosen. It has a lot of different traps and is actually quite fun to play as black.
