Time to stop using Gmail and YouTube. I had already avoided go░gle search for months now.
Over the last three or four months I had deleted all my FaceBook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram accounts. And this made me want to avoid go░gle search.
Just curious what's wrong with saying Google?
You must be new to Lemmy. Grab a tinfoil hat from the box by the door.
Funny how the term "tinfoil" persists even though it hasn't been used in over 70 years.
Easier to say than "aluminium"
"Aluminum" at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say "foil." What else would I be talking about in that context?
a·lu·mi·num
tin·foil
(Sorry for the 'ackshully', but couldn't resist.)
ACKSHULLY, I was referring to "aluminum" as opposed to "aluminium."
That's not how you spelled it though in your comment.
Is the comment I was replying to.
Fair enough. I didn't read the comment previous to yours, just your comment directly, so I thought you were referring to 'aluminum' versus 'tinfoil'.
One less than aluminium
Didn't even realize that was a word until I looked it up.
Not sure how that relates in a conversation about tinfoil hats usage but sure why not.
I'm sure the composition of the devices has a significant performance impact on their effectiveness, worthy of discussion. :p
