Logitech Ball mouse. You move the ball with your thumb and your hand stays still. Takes a little getting used to.

You could write a bash script to do it and perform searches from the terminal. It will open a new tab or window in your browser with the term you entered with the appropriate settings. Then set the bash script as an alias to make it easier to use. I found a similar script and modified it for ddg. doesn’t seem to work 100% though, per usual it works on my machine, as-is no warranty, you need to install jq first if you already haven’t.

#!/bin/bash

# Check if a search term was provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <search_term>"
    exit 1
fi

# URL encode the search term (handles spaces and special characters)
encoded_search=$(printf '%s' "$1" | jq -sRr @uri)

# Construct the DuckDuckGo search URL with a date filter for content before Jan 1, 2020
duckduckgo_url="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%24encoded_search&ia=web&t=h_&df=on&dfdate=before-2020-01-01"

# Open the URL in a new browser tab (works with most common browsers)
xdg-open "$duckduckgo_url" 2>/dev/null || open "$duckduckgo_url"

You can make websites for local businesses.

It would wildly fuck with enterprise systems because you would have to have a way to verify age for the users of EVERY system. The way it is now you would have to verify the age of users of iot and smart devices. You have to have id to turn on your lights or use the refrigerator.

If you use Rufus you can create the USB that automatically bypasses the Internet requirements. Still annoying af though.

I want to find the best price for things before I buy them but I might spend more if it is closer to my house. I might also look for an alternative to that item. Search engines don’t show all the retail stores in search. I created a custom bash script which would insert my search term into the URL of each store on my area and automatically open a new tab for each website with the search. I still have to manually go through and decide but it beats going to each individual website and searching manually. Basically I would like pcpartpicker but for everything. The one I haven’t figured out yet is car parts. They have made it difficult to easily search their websites other than rockauto.

Looks like the next guys problem.

As far as Reddit I have found a vpn server that does work with it if I change servers then it doesn’t work and gives me the stupid error. I don’t post I just visit the site for information.

I don’t understand the reason for this.

We need to nationalize the oil industry and stomp down anybody denying climate change including these schill politicians.

There’s a bunch of mobile car diagnostic guys on YouTube who specialize in diagnosing issues that other shops can’t figure out. There’s also local managed service companies who do it for local businesses and install things like cameras. There’s tons of local business opportunities that aren’t completely scummy but they’re usually extremely niche. And yes there’s still engine shops that are extremely busy especially in farming areas where equipment gets repaired instead of thrown away.

Go to Wikipedia go to the bottom of the page and look at the sources.

On darknet markets they use an escrow account and admins act as mediators, so as long as you can show that you have a valid tracking number. The issue becomes when people try to scam you by selling you broken electronics or scam buyers pulling fraud returns. Weirdly this is common with VCRs on eBay. There’s large resellers who buy good VCRs and steal parts out of them and return them. Then they resell on Amazon. I guess it comes back to having a karma system.
