Why isn't there an universal driver protocol that would automatically send a signal to any hardware and get in return the specifications from it as to what it is, and how to make use of it? At least to some capacity or another. Lack of drivers and lack of hardware recognition is such a huge problem it makes me think we are like in the stone age of compatibility.

because hardware is different?

Has anyone gone back to using jewgle for search?
Startpage is a pretty cool guy but it's missing a lot of useful features, like being able to apply filters to image searches.

>Has anyone gone back to using jewgle for search?
a long time ago when duckduckgo was becoming a meme and startpage had a shitty ui
Just don't use it to search anything illegal.
Also, Google tracks you all over the web using Google ads. If you're not using SSL everywhere, ghostery, no script, a VPN, etc. and have a good security discipline your choice of a search engine isn't going to make much of a difference for you.

Well, they're over 20 years old.
Not stone age old, but at least grandpa old.
They look fine to me.

What are /g/'s thoughts on BitMessage?
is it an encrypted voip?
>>54338080
No. More like a decentralized instant messenger or e-mail system.
>>54338070
I don't see the point. The idea behind Tox is better.

I like how anyone trying to find out information about me gets blasted with a shit load of plugins
Why is apt-get hard to understand, when something goes wrong? At least DNF tells me what to do, if you get some error message.
