    I primarily use DDG, but the vast majority of people I talk to (including other tech savvy people) use Google. I feel like “search” is too generic (search where?), but “search the internet” is weird. And saying “Bing it” or “Duck it” or whatever just sounds overly contrarian. But if I say “Google it”, people know exactly what I mean.

    So yes, I will “Google where to buy some bandaids” by searching DDG for adhesive bandages.



  • I know this is sacrilegious (especially as a professional software developer who works from home) but I actually think it’s too much screen space. I have a second 4k monitor that I almost never use because it always ends up with a lot of empty wasted space, so it just stays off most of the time. It really only gets used when I have something on my main monitor full screen, but even then it rarely has more than a 1080p screens’ worth of content
