Thanks! Just to add a little more detail:

The exact date and time of the astronomical explosion is unknown, but once it happens, Hounsell says the once-in-a-lifetime event is sure to inspire the next generation of skywatchers.

The software bloat is not dissimilar to what I've heard in the past, but I'd forgotten since I haven't gone in depth researching yet. Which phones do we prefer today? Loosely off the top of my head, less bloat/intrusiveness, nice camera, battery life enough for a day, and maybe on the smaller size to fit one hand are probably what I'll be looking in to.

I was considering a new Samsung phone - is that baked into it? (Assuming you're talking Samsung anyway, based on the galaxy name)

I think !reddit just sends you directly to reddit and uses reddit's search engine, which has been infamously bad. Has that changed? It doesn't seem to be quite the same as appending "reddit" to queries to search for reddit posts, but using better search engines.

That's a good point, it's probably way less load and overhead if Reddit and Google just sent info back and forth instead of scraping. Good way for Google to keep their spot as the favoured search engine and beat the competition too, since everything that comes up these days are articles full of SEO nonsense at best, then AI generated nonsense at worst. If nobody else can read the actual human responses, Google has a huge leg up. Also interesting to see that Google's honouring the txt file even when nobody's holding them to it.

I had no idea Twitter's search updated their index immediately after a comment is posted though. That's a lot of updates considering the amount of posts they get daily.

iirc, isn't robots.txt more of a gentlemen's agreement? I vaguely recall bots being able to crawl a site regardless, it's just that most devs respect robots.txt and don't. Could be wrong though, happy to be corrected.

Definitely misread that as Download The Mall and was quite amused by the name until I checked the link to see more lol

I wouldn't jump blindly but I'm gonna think

Nobody is making their own decisions

I was told to warm them up to get the last bits of juice out of them while camping. Wonder which it is?

Tetris with touch controls is not my favourite way to enjoy Tetris though

Tbh, I just like that mobile app watching is free instead of paywalled

It's not about completely preventing infection, you can still get infected. It's about minimizing the odds of infection and lowering severity when infected, to mitigate transmission as much as possible. It's more about society as a collective and less about the individual. You can ride it out, sure. But if you pass it along to someone who can't, then what?
