    Agree, there’s a lot going on. How I see it:

    • @xxx are snaps, limiting result to any resource from a website e.g. Wikipedia.com

    • !xxx are bangs, using the sites own search engine to return results. They are external searches, and might provide more (if the site does not expose certain parts to search engine) or less (if the site didn’t build search capabilities for some parts but they are indexable) than snaps.

    • Lenses return search results based on certain criteria. Those could be a list of snaps (so domains), but also geography, keywords, file types, or they could exclude the same.



  • I’m sorry, but it seems like you’re playing with tools and code you don’t understand. First, this has nothing in common with a virus. That is either a click bait or you don’t understand what it is you are looking at. If it crashes your computer, it is simply badly written code. Any programmer has done something similarly (in their area of domain, ie not necessarily able to crash a computer).

    For the next time, I would recommend you to use the AI to explain the code and ask questions about it.














  • I switched to Fastmail a few months ago and love it.

    My tip is: Start simple.

    1. If you have any other Domains forwarded to Gmail forward them to Fastmail instead.
    2. Forward Gmail to Fastmail (i.e. add as an account including importing old mails). This won’t get you off Google yet, but at least a backup and you can practically stop using Gmail.
    3. For any new registration, use Fastmail (or any of its random emails etc.)
    4. Slowly transition your old accounts.
