Well that really sucks because it was often the only way to actually find the content on the page that the Google results "promised". For numerous reasons - sometimes the content simply changes, gets deleted or is made inaccessible because of geo-fencing or the site is straight up broken and so on.

Yes, there's archive.org but believe it or not, not everything is there.

People that propose this kind of stuff always know exactly nothing about how the internet, or technology in general, works.

Aren't rockets vehicles that ride on fire (that they create themselves)?

By they way, I just found out that they removed the button, but typing cache:www.example.com into Google still redirects you to the cached version (if it exists). But who knows for how long. And there's the question whether they'll continue to cache new pages.

who find Firefox difficult to use

WTF? HOW? How is it difficult to use? It works like any other web browser?!

It only shows how ridiculous the copyright laws are. Songs recorded in the 1940s and 50s should've long been public domain by now.

If they start building vertical cinemas, that's when we lose.

The "No nesting" rule should apparently apply not only to model rail but also to log cabins.

I mean, I might have considered paying for YT premium if I thought it offered some value (other than disabling ads) but I won't sure as hell pay for anything that any company is trying to blackmail me into.

Same here.

Fuck /u/spez.

Ok, now that's off my chest, let me see, how does this lemmy thing work?

Isn't this how it always goes with any kind of censorship? It doesn't even matter if there were good intentions behind it or not, the result is the same.

As a non-native speaker, I was kinda confused at first by this comic because in my head the vowels definitely didn't sound all the same. But I personally consider pronunciation of vowels in English to be one of the greatest mysteries in the universe, so no wonder.

This is why I prefer sans-serif fonts that have lower case l's with a little bend on the bottom. For example the new default font in Office (Aptos) does exactly that.

What’s a good alternative?

I haven't used any such tool for almost a decade probably and I don't think there's a need to nowadays. Occasionally I run the Windows Disk Cleanup utility to get rid of temp files and Windows Update installation files and that's about it. Cleaning the registry is bullshit anyway that does more harm than good (doesn't speed up anything certainly).
