RE: Misunderstood genius and simple idiocy

Did you click on the link for abstruse?

Yes but only because I checked the link and noticed it would prevent me having to type ctrl+t then !define abtruse and that was only because I wanted to make sure I'd defined it from context and knowing what obtuse (there had to do the above thing anyway to get my link which I only did because I thought it was funny at the time XD) means and it looked like it would be related XD

Lols.
I am going to have to see what that ! does

You probably already knew ctrl+t opens a new tab XD I use DuckDuckGo as my main search engine and it can use bang syntax. Like !g search term will do a Google search for search term, and Google gets the request from DDG rather than from your computer so you get a tiny bit of obfuscation as far as your search history goes. They do a few other search engines as well (I try to remember to use !eco before !g if DDG doesn't find what I'm after but that hasn't habituated yet). And !define and !syn (or !thes or !thesaurus) spits you at dictionary and thesaurus for whatever word follows them.

Cool! I haven't really used DDG as when I last tried it wasn't convenient enough. lols... I suck.

If you want it to be convenient just make it the default search engine in your browser o_O

yeah, might try that :)

lol, i use Brave and have never really looked at the settings. Dark Mode FTW! :D
