Never bothered with the app to begin with, the mobile website works just fine.

That's exactly what will happen, since we have laws in Germany against leaving homes unoccupied (with severe fines), so if the landlord can't find a tenant willing to pay the extortionate rate, they have to lower the rate closer to market or risk paying triple of what they might be missing out on otherwise.

Private mode has all trackers disabled, so they might be able to trace the IP to my router, but not to a specific device (assuming you have random hardware ID activated). With kagi it's traced to a specific account regardless.

And while I'm running a VPN by default, kagi will still be able to identify me, so that's an absolute no-go.

I guess there might be some monks that stray into haram territory, but yeah following the doctrine properly, they sure aren't allowed to.

Love Sichuan food, though it fucks up my stomach regularly... And yeah we got crazy drinkers here as well, but if I say no then it's a hard no and they understand I don't budge, so that's that. I can't handle the taste of baijiu at all, had to drink years ago with some business partners, and ever since my first proper baijiu vomit session, I'm done and over with that stuff.

Opposite for me by the way, I'vebeen living in China all through covid since late 2017, and we only just left to Malaysia last August. So I've been in the village a bunch of times, though usually we'd celebrate CNY where the family actually lives, trips to the village are only for special occasions. In the future we'll probably still come annually, but not necessarily for CNY when everybody is crazy, roads blocked and shit twice as expensive as regular.

He's too vital to hope for a biological solution anytime soon.

There's 6% wanting to leave Denmark, but that's not necessarily joining the US. There has been a minor independence movement, but never really got traction.

Another 9% polled as "undecided".

I'm using kagi on and off, but haven't reached the point where I'm confident that paid search is the answer. Especially since that ties results to accounts even in privat mode, so they can claim no log policies as much as they want, I don't trust it.

DDG doesn't deliver the same quality as google, bing is garbage for anything but porn, and Yandex works surprisingly well, but whether I want my data in Russia is another story. In private mode I use it occasionally.

Yep, it's the only instance where they might, but even then it's no guarantee. Closing the bases would be awesome for anyone but landlords in the areas who are charging extortionate rates to base personal rather than offering affordable housing to locals.

Nope, you can't disable it at all, this is the only workaround that currently gets rid of their crap.

In your browser settings under search configure a new custom search with the following string:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s&udm=14

That attaches the string udm=14 to every search in the browser toolbar, which omits all AI features.

The downside is that if you're searching for translation or currency conversion it won't show you those as google features on top of the search results either, but only as separate links.

Ah ok, got it. Never heard the acronym before.

Liebesraum would be a conception room, not quite sure that's what you meant ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
