I don’t think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn’t need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

I’ve been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn’t a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.
Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it’s worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.
I don’t use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason

Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 8th
2·1 year agoProgressed a bunch more in witcher 3 but got burnt out again. Finished ugly baby and it seems a bunch of side quests become unavailable after isle of mists and I don’t have time to binge them nowadays.
Tried to make progress in celeste and they bleed pixels but they were too hard. I think I’ll give up on golden strawberries and do the other stuff on celeste and might end up giving up on tbp entirely as the fire world seems impenetrable. The difficulty curve on that game is insane
Currently looking for a short ish easy game thag I can just play from beginning to the end without getting stuck or feeling completionist fomo. Suggestions?
It really is. I often find myself avoiding long games with intermittent text or dialog (RPGs!) because I get bored when there’s none and want to listen to a podcast but can’t because then I’ll miss the next dialog.
There’s also the “I’ve got something to do so I can’t deal with starting up a game” and then spending an hour on youtube

So all tiers are getting discontinued… Unless there is an unlisted custom tier? It’s hard to imagine duckducgo only processing 250 requests per second. But then maybe that is enough and didn’t they make their own index anyways? Maybe that was to ease the load
Oh and they suggest using ai instead

Gaming@beehaw.org•Thoughts On 150 Hours Of ‘Path Of Exile 2’ From A ‘Diablo’ Player
5·2 years agoI can’t wrap my head around this comment. You think playing video games is a wealthy people hobby? Or are you saying the author of the article is a wealthy person who doesn’t work? And he has to remind us that becuase that’s apparently something rich people do all the time that I missed? Or is it that only wealthy people have time to read these articles? Did I miss elon musk promoting path of exile or something what does he have anything to do with this?
The real answer doesn’t make sense neither, the article makes no mention of how much money the game has made, it’s just a surface level review.
