For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing now all return the same shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites to most of my searches, and don't respect my literal search terms even when I put them in quotes. I'm not ready to pay for search, yet. Is there any alternative?

Can you please share your backup strategies for linux? I'm curious to know what tools you use and why?How do you automate/schedule backups? Which files/folders you back up? What is your prefered hardware/cloud storage and how do you manage storage space?

I hate knowing how much money is spent on them so that they can annoy us with every attempted second of our lives. What, you can't use that money to better pay your workers? You can't use that money to improve aspects of your company, so you're going to pay these groups of obnoxious pricks whose entire existence is to annoy people with your ads? The ads themselves are too theatric for me to care, I can't tell you the amount of ads I've had to stomach hearing through Spotify that makes me care even less about a product. They just take turns outdoing themselves as to which ad is the dumber of the bunch that night. Even worse are the ads that try too hard to reach for something that was 'hip' to do like 5 or 10 years ago. The lying in commercials. I've learned in life that some brands that aren't even the brand of choice, the best option available. I've been surprised on some of the things I've acquired from even dollar stores that somehow are better than the name brands. And even then, there's still lies projected from commercials that attempt to snag you in for money.

SEOUL, Oct 15 (Reuters) - North Korea blew up sections of inter-Korean roads and rail lines on its side of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas on Tuesday, prompting South Korea's military to fire warning shots. Pyongyang said last week it would cut off the inter-Korean roads and railways entirely and further fortify the areas on its side of the border as part of its push for a "two-state" system scrapping its longstanding goal of unification. At around midday on Tuesday, some northern parts of road and rail lines connected to the South were destroyed, the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

A friend of mine has a daughter who is too young for a smart phone, but he still wants her to be able to listen to music on the go. I found the following devices using spotify. Have you used any of these or do you have any alternative suggestions? https://www.tunepat.com/spotify-music-tips/portable-spotify-music-player.html
