Tales from the Loop

Sorrynotsorry, I’ve just got into watching it and it fit so… haha.

Just threw Zorin on my secondhand x220, but been using the Thinkpad as a low end test bench so that may change. Runs surprisingly well, although I do need a new battery soon (“dies” at ~40%).

To add onto CitizenKong’s comment, the scientific name is hypnagogic jerk, shorthand hypnic jerk, and it’s exactly what they said, the body shutting down the external neural responses that control your body.

Fantastic, you’re hired!

So I never really dabbled in DDG. I did for a little while, but just like Brave (Eich being a POS, anti-LGBTQ, questionable crypto BS, etc.), some dirt came up for DDG that steered me away. Although, now doing more digging, and even Startpage has its issues. I really don’t like this hopping round thing.

I just switched from Chrome to Brave, and then shortly after from Brave to Vivaldi. Search engine is now Startpage.com, which while slower than Google, it’s been bringing up decent results. Unfortunately I still use quite a few Google-centric apps, so hopefully I’m able to discover more options as time goes on.
