DDG started to ignore the country preference (the slide button) I set.

I keep it in the off position, that should mean "all countries" but it still shows me results in Italian language, even if I search in English.

Google started doing that years ago, and it's quite annoying since I usually want international results.

I'm genuinely curious about who uses the Raspberry Pi distro on a x86 computer.

Does it exist only related to the development of the Raspberry Pi OS for aarch64 and armhf or there are people out there that choose Raspberry Pi Desktop as their main distro for their PC/Mac?

700 euros, oh my goodness!

I would honestly expect it to be able to capture digital versions of the images too for that money.

IMHO it's a feature that instant photography users are not interested at all.

It's still not clear if the lens is made of glass like the SX-70 or the SLR-680.

I use Sublime daily exclusively for quick notes and as a scratch pad/clipboard. What I have started noticing recently and what worries me is that with only the most basic Markdown plugins it now uses 1 GB of RAM and is somewhat less snappy than it used to. I really hope it goes away soon but with other editors getting more resource-heavy, I am worried.

I have tens of files open in ST right now and it's using 16 MB of RAM. I'd suggest some tests without the plugins you are describing.

"We wanted it to sound like a Polaroid picture”

So... the wobble-wobble sound when you... shake it, shh shh shh shake it like a Polaroid picture?

(Sorry I couldn't help myself)

Despite common knowledge you should not shake a Polaroid picture while it's developing.

It's a heritage from the pack film era during the 60s.
