I guess YMMV, I just tried a few places around me (UK) and it found them all. You can also defiantly tap on a place to select it.

Did you try it recently or a while ago? I know it was pretty woeful when it came out but it’s improved a whole lot over the years.

I wish Kagi wasn’t as expensive as it is.

If it was $5 a month for unlimited searches I would be all over it but 300 searches is too few and $10 is too much money.

Pfttt… at least with DDG you can turn any of that stuff off with a button in a UI rather than having to make a new bookmark or fuck around with your browsers search engine.

You can even turn the ads off if you want.

Also, Apple Maps is totally fine, it’s not overloaded with ads like Google Maps is and it basically always finds the place I search for.

We had some from Lidl that broke on the way out of the shop! I wouldn’t trust most of them for 3 trips, let alone a lifetime of them.

I don’t drive every time I go to the shops, plus I also have to remember to put them back once I get my shopping inside.

The plastic ones (here in the UK at least) also split and fall apart, they’re better than the “standard” ones but they don’t usually last that much longer.

Also I have a million of them because I always forget to bring them.

Nice! With the best will in the world I always forget my standard shopping bags and I feel that the “bags for life” just replace one thin and crap lump of plastic for an overly engineered one.

Yes but if you don’t cause a bunch of poor people conflict and pain how will your wife know that you love her? /s

Phones and PCs are fine, I’m talking more smart speakers like Amazon Echo or consoles like the PS5.

I created Blueydle - a Wordle / Framed clone where you guess a different episode of Bluey each day! (blueydle.fun)
 

I posted this on Reddit a year or so ago but some may have missed it so I figured I’ll drop it here too :)

Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help? (lemmy.world)
 

I’m having a hell of a time with my current ISP (sitting at 18 days now without a connection) and I’m having to bite my tongue every time I’m talking to them (Remember The Human and all that)

Whilst the front line support are nice people and answer the phones quickly they are honestly pretty useless and they never really sound like they know what they’re talking about, also seemingly none of the departments seem particularly good about communicating what’s going on so it’s hard to get a straight and useful answer out of them.

Have you ever lost it with a rep? What happened? and did it ever help push things along?

Kinda annoying that I didn’t need a hub for the interactive home widget in beta 2 / 3 but now I do? (lemmy.world)
 

I’m not going to buy an Apple TV or a HomePod just for this.

I just spent 20 minutes writing out a response to a thread in the reddit app, just about to hit submit and it crashes (lemmy.world)
 

Never again.

Am I missing any? (lemmy.world)
 

Just checking I’ve got them all?

What do you do when you’re really f’king angry? (lemmy.world)
 

I’ve not had a good day today. The kids have been shits, my wife has winged at me for not doing something I have already done, I’m hot, tired and stressed from work and fed up of not having a good nights sleep due to my 3 year old waking us up in the middle of the night constantly.

I want to rage at something but I can’t leave the house. I have access to a gaming PC, PS5 and all the movies the streaming services have to offer, my wife isn’t home so it’s just me and a couple of kids who should be asleep in the next hour or two.

I need some catharsis, what would you do?

Is there a way to quit just using a controller? (lemmy.world)
 

I’m enjoying Yuzu with my PC hooked up to my TV via HDMI, however there are times I want to back out and get back into Steam Big Picture.

Is there a way to quit yuzu with just some esoteric button combination?

At the moment I’m having to Remote Desktop in to hit the Esc button and going from there, which isn’t really ideal.

2
Are there any more episodes of 3C yet to come? (lemmy.world)
 

I just checked IMDB and it has Cricket as the last episode of the season. Does anyone know if there are more episodes on the horizon or are we all done for now?
