  • I know what you mean. I still use it all the same as my default search, the reason is the bang (!) Operators.

    So if the ddg normal search isn’t working, I can add a !g and I get the Google version. Or if I want Google maps… Then I just add !gm

    The other one I use a lot is wolfram alpha for unit conversions and calculations, just add a !wa

    Hacker news search is !HN

    Having this one stop shop for many different search types end up being way better than Google, even if somethimes the regular search may not be so great



  • You will all hate me but… Snaps! First time I could easily roll back a bad version of thunderbird (I use it for work -office 365) which got stuck in a oauth2 login loop. I had to roll back twice (again, single command, everything just worked) then finally an upgrade where the bug was fixed.

    Don’t get me wrong I’ve pinned versions before with apt etc, but I always end up forgetting and having to remove them afterwards.

    And… The only reason I was using the thunderbird snap was cause the regular apt thunderbird had some other annoying bug.

    Yep… Snaps… (Shake my head and walk away)
