I don’t have an extention on FF but whenever I copy a link there’s an option to also copy clean link. I’m not home, but I believe this is associated with my search engine being SearXNG.

A trick I’ve learned for when this happens with SearXNG is to add “!web” to the search query. It provides a wider range of search engines and images, which specific ones can be selected in the settings. Like all things software, it takes a bit to adjust to a new interface but SearXNG allows users to control a lot more of the functionality.

Sorry it sounds like an add, swear to jah I’m just curious as it seems to have been around.

Why switch platforms if all your data is still being collected? This just provides another business with your data to sell and possibly have hacked. Sure, Telegram offers encryption, but it’s not enabled by default even though they advertise it thoroughly. This demonstrates they’re taking advantage of peoples desire for privacy simply to increase their user base while making the users + contacts do all the work.

As far as file sharing, with ProtonDrive I can use any messaging service and send a 500GB file if I wanted, fully encrypted with password protection and an expiration date. Telegram keeping the files forever doesn’t seem like a benefit either.

Okular is amazing, this paired with Libre Office for PDF creation is how I do PDF production and editing. Okular has somewhat limited editing, so when converting scans/photos into a PDF I use KolourPaint for more detailed editing. It allows me to remove, add, or edit anything in a scan/photo before it’s converted into a PDF by Libre Office.

Bromite has been abandoned unfortunately, definitely worth thinking about another chromium backup browser for sure.

Cryptpad is worth trying out as a GoogleDocs alt too. It has excel and powerpoint along with word docs. Board.net is more straight forward, but it only offers word docs

I’m glad you think so! I was pondering if Apple was practical as it has some privacy functions built in, but OSM is the top choice alt when the focus is privacy. Do you not agree?

Not too sure how I feel about Bing and Apple Maps or OneDrive and Dropbox being referred to as alts in a privacy forum…But if ProtonMail is the GMail replacement, using ProtonDrive is an easy solution I’d say

I mean, once the journey starts it’s not long before Linux over MacOS or Windows is a no brainer. Being Android is Linux based allows for a degoolged option to be equivalent to a fork. But sure, iOS is more private and secure out the box vs Android, yet with a few minutes spent in settitngs, Android quickly wins out. Degoogling and FOSS options are two peas in a pod, so might as well also get a pixel with degoogled android and cover all basis.

Proton is the move, in combo with board.net for GoogleDocs and OpenStreetMaps for GMaps, you’ve degoogled more than most. Start using GrapheneOS instead of Android and you’ll damn near remove the big G from your day to day!

Learning to live with a disorder is an amazing step in the process. If depression was easy to eliminate, the world would be a much different place

Exactly, sales isn’t easy but customer retention makes the job easier. If a customer has a great experience, they tend to be repeat customers and even tell their friends. Word of mouth undoubtedly being the most effective marketing method makes non pushy sales the best approach for sure.

OK, so engineers provide their solution to a problem to end users for free? Engineers still need marketing and sales to further improve an invention as well as allow others to understand its use case.

True sales is just filling a need, sometimes the customer knows they need it but others are unaware of it. Good sales reps will not sell something unless it makes sense for everyone involved.

I got a sales job offer on the spot by first highlighting the limited use of a single pen and without extra’s on hand its negative business impacts. Then stated I had tons of pens available in my car and positioned selling them at least 100, but recommended they acquire 1000+ as this prevents potential issues plus gets them a better deal. Pretty solid approach in my experience.

This link is the research paper which was reviewed by sciencedaily, my title is a blend of both sciencedaily and the paper titles. The research paper’s title is super ambiguous and it seemed a blend of the two made more sense.

Lipids are one of the four macromolecules found in life. Moderation of lipids is the key part here. LDL (bad cholesterol) is needed for digestion, cell signaling, and immune cells require it for certain functions. It’s the goldilocks principle, too much or too little is an issue.

I had to look it up, but reducing milk by 2% fat increases the calcium ~6mg/cup. A little calcium goes a long way for human cell functions, so it’s a decent increase for sure.

I live solo and use Costco, just got to know what to buy there

I have the onyx boox note air 2, while not in color, the tablet is fantastic. I’m weighing out my options to see if and when it could make sense to upgrade to the color option as my current tab is that good!
