it's only like 11°C outside in Dublin right now but the sensation of sunlight helps to elevate the cruel existence of Computer Work. so, fuck it! balcony season! allowing the Macbook to experience its true natural habitat of Somewhere That Isn't My Desk has made me a bit more appreciative of its possibilities. last summer I took the idea to its logical end point and brought my cheap usb dj controller out on the balcony with me, recording DJ sets for nobody in particular on my headphones as the sun sets. those days approach once more. now if only I could solve the glare problem

And my nondescript black laptop I use for contract jobs is my enemy I avoid it whenever humanly possible because it’s evil. I daren’t even take photos of it often lest it infect me with its vibes.

the privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has the idea of "Bangs". throwing !g at the end of a search fires it over to google, !w to wikipedia, !r to reddit etc. there are thousands of these, and it lets you get very intentional about where you want to search for information; not just relying on one tool for every job.
outside of the bangs feature, well, ddg is... fine. it's not immune to spam, but at least it hasn't implemented an AI that lies to you. yet.
