Has anyone been able to verify how locked down the new Windows Qualcomm laptops are? What are the Linux possibilities with these things?

If you're looking to kick Google or DDG or whatever I'd recommend giving SearXNG a look. It's a meta search engine. https://docs.searxng.org/ You can self host it, it's pretty easy, or you can just use any one of a wealth of public instances. https://searx.space/

I'm fairly certain Kagi is borrowing from SearxNG and making some slight modifications. The only thing Kagi holds over SearxNG that I see is the maps feature.

Why are mobile OS's the only one's that let you uninstall straight from the app icon? That sounds kind of nonsense no?

Winders, with the exception of some of MS's own apps, gives you an uninstall option but that doesn't uninstall. It takes you to the apps window where you have to manually scroll to find the app then three dot to choose uninstall where the OS clearly knows where that is.

Is there even a linux that can do this? Maybe KDE as long as the app is a flatpak?

Tekchip, 6 days ago to coffee

I'm so dismayed with the state of coffee at McDonald's I'm tempted to sign back up to Twitter just to holler at them. Maybe theyve jumped to threads?

Just got parked because they can't figure out a medium Americano with 2 shots instead of one. One being a bit of a travesty to begin with.

The last one I ordered seemed to have the espresso, cream, and sweetner put in then the water added and was not stired. Dirty water for 80% of the cup. The last 20% was quite nice
