Ex-DDG Browser user here. Personally, it's not very good. I really only used it whenever a site, usually the pesky ones by the government, broke in Librewolf (my main browser).

It's better than Chrome, of course. Out of the box, DDG blocks trackers and ads to a certain extent as it has an extension of the same name embedded into the browser. However, it has no extension support (cannot install extensions fr the Chrome Web Store), making it subpar when it comes to content blocking (no uBlock origin) and customization (no DarkReader), among others.

Really, you're better off using Firefox with uBlock origin set at medium mode.

I feel that the only use case for DDG browser is for non-technical people like me to have a more private browsing experience without much tinkering. Yet, it takes very little reading and experimentation to understand how uBlock origin's medium mode works and how it is waaaaay better at ad blocking and in preventing/minimizing cross-site tracking.

Did you mean Mullvad Browser? Mull is discontinued by the sole developer, and it wasn't run by a company.

Poet Assistant! It's a dictionary app that offers:

• a rhyming dictionary, using the Carnegie Mellon University pronunciation dictionary.

• a thesaurus, using the WordNet thesaurus.

• a dictionary, using the WordNet dictionary.

• a screen where you can enter your poem text, and have it read aloud back to you by the device's text-to-speech engine.

Poet Assistant works offline, without any internet connection.

Not exclusive to DIY, but people post arts, crafts, and cool stuff they made in !imadethis@lemm.ee

Option 3.

Privacy concerns aside, which I am willing to bear, Option 3 is the most sustainable option.

Looking at our status page, the projected monthly expenses is greater than the revenues. If passing through external images allows us to reduce operational costs and ensure lemm.ee's sustainability despite the loss of a degree of privacy, then it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.

Thanks, admins and mods, for everything that you do!

It sucks. I'm reviewing for a board exam, but I can't for the life of me focus for an entire day. I can only study in the mornings, and anytime after that I get so sleepy and easily distracted. It's been like this for weeks now, so much that I'm way behind on the study schedule.

I tried journalling, exercising, and listening to ambient noise to improve focus and energy to no avail. Ugh, the exam date is still far ahead but I feel like I'll surely fail.

great update! however, the emoji suggestions don't work properly on my end. either no emoji suggestions are given or if there are suggestions, they're kinda limited

i hope this function in florisboard will be as polished as signal's in the future

Good to know, thanks! I'll stick with dbzer0's megathread from now on.
