I used to Google for help, but the thing about Google is you have to know the correct technical terms, but when learning Linux, there are many unknown unknowns. And then you have to trawl through am the answers.

Now, any time I enter a command and get errors, or if I don't understand something in the logs, I'll copy paste it into perplexity.ai - if necessary, it'll ask for clarification. But mostly, it'll suggest various causes and solutions, with explanation.

This is more like anti-vaxxers scamming themselves and others, and the so-called scammers are just providing the required service.

Yes please! Voyager has this feature too - makes it at-a-glance easy to decide if it's a source you'd read, and if its a risky click at work or on the train.

Pinned comment on original article says:

Didn't see it mentioned in the article, but per the linked FAQ it says the alpha AI applies to:

In countries with the preferred language set to English.

Excluding Canada, the UK (United Kingdom), and countries within the EEA (European Economic Area).

Dragon/Nuance abandoned Swype keyboard. All I want for Christmas is that they open source Swype.

What a handsome dog! I hope your memories together stay strong :)

Their title says "flat display", yet further down the article, they write:

... the display is almost flat. The glass panel has a very subtle curve on the side edges (possibly from 2.5D curved glass)...

So, not flat then.

Fuck curved edges on Samsung phones, they're an arse for screen protector edges wanting to lift up when that wind blows the wrong way.

What's red and is bad for your teeth?

A brick.

Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn't block those outright. It's a useful option for when I'm using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.

A QR code just links to a URL. If you link to a URL that you own or control, it'll be fine. The problem comes when people use a link shortener that allows the destination to be changed later, or if they lose control of the domain or its backend.

Not quite a screen shot, but the text:

Because of the following filter:

uBlock filters – Badware risks

The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it's not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.
