I'll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.

you'll just have to built your own apps too

We are well on our way.

I was confused before I made the switch. So many of the most useful kinds of apps weren't maintained anymore by anyone on the Google Play store. I had this surreal feeling that the app ecosystem was getting worse every year.

And then I installed F-Droid and figured out where all of my favorite app developers went. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. That's what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.

Sure, like NFTs were here to stay, and the gazillion different shitcoins that were popping up everywhere some years ago.

I bet you're just angry that you didn't hold onto your ape NFTs. They're going to skyrocket back soon. (I hope my sarcasm here is obvious, of course.)

It might be possible Ferengi also have higher-than-human-average neuroplasticity and simply adapt easier - this might even aid in the on the job theory.

I think you're on to something.

Various Ferengi having a kind of genius foreign to Federation values is a recurring theme in DS9.

Nog, in particular, gets up to some antics that probably require some brilliance. I recall him hacking or circumventing things even early in the series.

Seems that some folks from Iowa would rather go to court than stop being cruel to animals.

I'll keep my judgement to myself, but it is scathing.

I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can't do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.

I say "used to" because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.

(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that's all one needs to know.)

A manufacturer phone pre-installed with LineageOS would be awesome.

So the first few are classic math definitions for 0, 1, and 2.

After that I got bored.

  • Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?

Yes.

  • Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?

I'm in the same boat. I'll be trying out these answers.

"The Mandalorian" is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.

It might tempt you to also watch "Boba Fett", which does not stand in it's own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of "The Mandalorian" for marketing reasons.
