That last by-the-bye got me. I’ll bite.
Sounds like you’re having a tough time at the moment. There are some good communities here if you’re needing a virtual hug bigger than I can give.
Hopefully your throwaway line is just that you’ve had a fixable row with them and are cooling off somewhere else.
Best wishes this Christmas, one and all.
AFAICT, they go around it via terminal staff.
This is great! Google seems to be slowly murdering Waze which I loved. Hoping that this will replace it!
Thank-you all.
Thank-you.
I’ve just installed Perplexity and reading about it replacing Google on https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/16/opinion_column_perplexity_vs_google/
Oh thank-you. As you have guessed, I haven’t done even basic investigation.
I’ll try to add it on as a search engine on Firefox to play with.
Thank-you again kind netizen.
Can you use the brave search engine from other browsers? (Is it a proxy for any other search engine?)
I’m expecting a negative, but a fella can dream.
Full disclosure: currently using StartPage and reasonably happy. StartPage is a proxy for Google as far as I can tell, although I’ve seen people say (on Reddit) it refers to Bing too.

Trouble is that charging, let alone convicting, the establishment of financial crimes has always been all but impossible.
In the UK, Boris giving huge taxpayer’s cash to his mates for pointless never-delivered contracts. Post Office crimes against postmasters for false convictions waved away because they still control the NHS. That list is endless.
You’re all good, my friend.
I hope you and your peers are not subjected to a life that is substantially poorer than that of my peers.
That a person is destined to live with their parents until they are approaching their thirties is awful for that person, and that seems to be happening as a normality.
I said it wasn’t a sentiment that was completely in irony. I’m rather sick of the corruption inherent in this country’s government, and that official investigations into the corruption never result in a resignation or job loss.
Hat tip from across the pond. 🙏

(UK) Government.
It could not be any worse than the most-obvious self-serving pocket-liners of this century.
(not sure what’s going on with Lemmy. I’m getting message/comment notification well after reasonable times. Yours has taken 21 days to appear.)
Fair enough.
Having enjoyed the open source Logseq to make a proper archive of the bits of knowledge I accumulate, I reluctantly moved on to Obsidian, which is proprietary.
Obsidian is much the better product, Logseq feels lacking and in need of a guiding hand and significant funding.
That said I used Logseq for over a year and enjoyed my time.
Both products work on Markdown files which are plain text and are useful in a standard editor and therefore will outlive Logseq and Obsidian.
Any more of a clue? What is your focus right now?
Because everyone knows who the mother is through birth and following months/years if they’re lucky, and the only connection a father has with his children is a last name.
It’s quite reasonable that mums want the same surname as their children so …
The trouble with that is that between twenty and thirty percent of children, depending on source, call the wrong person ‘dad’.

I used to read (books, newspapers, cereal packets, everything, even fricking Cosmo) a hell of a lot before t’internet. Now I struggled to read a magazine in one sitting. I have a diet of RSS feeds and the linked articles.
I’m thirty years older, as we all are pre- post- net, so that probably has an effect but it’s upsetting me how little I read (read) now.
I have a old Kindle (circa the first paperwhite series) which I find is devoid of battery power whenever I pick it up and I forget to replace it on my wireless phone charger (buy the kindle a wireless charging client with a microUSB plug from Amazon/AliExpress to put between the cover you necessarily bought and the Kindle) when I remove my phone.
Thinking buying a dumb phone might be the way forward to kill my died of short articles which maybe killed my attention span.
This.
Only about one in twenty of recorded ‘crime’ is ever solved. I don’t know whether that includes posting a tweet (aka non-crime hate incident). That’s recorded crime (if they’ll let you record a crime).
Same view as you: got turned away with that same phrase “civil matter, sir”.
I’m guessing that the real figure is maybe 1 in 100 at best. I’m sure I saw a pod cast of that undercover detective (Pete® B-something?) who was evicted from the Met who said the figure was in that ball park. Can’t find it or remember his name. Bah!
