Thin end of the wedge

[spacesailor]

It doesn't have to be the lower end of society. 

When  I was ' young , we learnt ,

" basic computer language "

Now this new " digital " language is way out of my league & I'm becoming " computer illiterate " .

I never can understand these new ' Hieraglyphics ' .

Just don't use them as much when we had ,

' Hard enter & Soft enter ' .

That's what you get in a box of Quality Street.

I'm in the middle of trying to remove bing from windows/firefox/google that I normally use. Its bloody hard.

 

[facthunter]

Look up BINGO. Nev

[pmccarthy]

Yeah Bing drives me mad. It does AI crap that I dont ask for.

Some "thing" called "Co-pilot" is trying to get me to use it..  nev

I use the Brave browser with duckduckgo search engine. Recently Brave added Leo AI assistant, which I have not used.

 

When I enter a subject in the address bar to search, I get the following options-

 

Subject  -Duckduckgo search

Subject -Leo search

 

I have not selected Leo.

You will be branded " dinosaur " ,

Just like me . LoL

I use Chrome as my preferred browser, and therefore Google is my preferred search engine. But Windows 11 tries everything to make me revert to MS Edge as the preferred browser.

I notice that each year I see less and less older folk around.

Is this the Thin End of the Wedge?

   Treasures are valuable because they are rare.. The acquisition of wisdom  has it's own reward. I'm still trying and according to my wife, VERY .  PS She thinks she's the boss, but we blokes know better don't we? Nev

So you're not quite there on the wisdom front then...

[facthunter]

No I'm now wise enough to NOT try to persuade HER Otherwise..   Nev

Senator CASH  LESS first. Thou WILL be done.  What a screamer from the WEST, SHE is'  Nev

[onetrack]

Michaela Cash is the closest thing to a feral we've ever had in Parliament. SWMBO does a great imitation of her snarling, in that psycho manner of hers, when she's on some political point-scoring run.

Which "her" are you referring to?

[onetrack]

The "her" is Cash. SWMBO can snarl too, but nothing like the fully refined feral snarling of MC.
