They were actually carried by birds. See this documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4_9kDO3q0w&t=44 /s

Maybe an algorithm put it there due to relevance.

Not gonna happen. But if it does it will probably be like Youtube and Spotify so prepare to hear ads in your brain if you don't have the premium subscription.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

What is the issue exactly with their search engine?

So a system that relies on endless growth thought the utiization of finite resources is not sustainable? Who would have thought?

Thanks. For what kind of specs I should be looking when byuing a wireless product? What key words I should be looking for?

I aways wondered if the communication channel between my wireless keyboard and the usb receiver-antena is secure. I never bother to reseach this. Today I figured out the practical way. I turned on my pc at work and I tried to type the first letter of my password. Nothing hapened. Then I started spamming that letter. Still nothing, until the person next to me said "my keyboard is typing all by itself". It turns out she has a wireless mouse with a seemigly identical receiver-antena usb.

The moral of the story. If it was so easy to almost leak my password unintentionally due to this flaw of wireless keyboard communication, imagine wad a bad actor can do intentionally. Why try to brute force, social engineer e.t.c. when your password can be stollen in transit from your keyboard to your pc.

I think what I've heard (more or less) is that they are equally private but GrapheneOS is more secure. I don't remember what the justification was though. I'm interested to see what replies your question gets.

I've always seen CalyxOS as the version that is the more user friendly (easier installation, better support. At least as of few years ago. Things migh have changed now.)

Personally what I question is the choice of GrapheneOS to use sanboxed Google play services rarher than the open source alternative micro-G. I can't see how that's better.

Maybe they don't target anybody and just publish what gets into their hands and they see as worthy of publication. They are not the leakers they are the publishers.

I thought you could do that through the setting "Allow client to use VPNs" in Network & internet -> Hotspot and tethering settings

Public wifi (beehaw.org)

How could my privacy be compromized in the time between me connecting to a public/work wifi hotspot and the time my vpn is connected.

Is there any use in 1. turning on my mobile data, 2. Connect to vpn, 3. Switch to wifi? Or it is just unnecessary and convoluted.

Also other than the inherent disgust to bug there is also the fact that since bugs are so small animals they can't be cleaned and separeted to different parts of the animal. This means that part of what you eat is the intestines of the animal with all the fecal matter in it.

I simply don't want shit (or processed shit) in my food. Is that too big of an ask?
