    I mean, they could take the app dev resources and put them towards a better built-in solution; like maybe you could open it up wide enough to click/lock the door into place at a very wide angle and that would disable the beeper, or a button that disables it temporarily either based on time or til the next button press. But yeah, I get how a default dumb beeper is more annoying than it helps

    yep, because a piece of misinformation has always stopped being spread by everyone everywhere when specific outlets reveal it’s misinformation

    edit: there’s also the part that says “This story dates back to March 2022.” when DDG found the scripts MS was running to get their data, and blocked them

    edit2: I did some digging on your source. The site is ran by someone named “Kurt the Cyberguy”. His linkedin, at https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurtknutsson (clear cookies if the site gives a login screen, it gives the 1st view fine), shows he’s a “CyberGuy Report syndicated tech contributor” to FOX News for 10 years up to present, and “CEO/Founder “The CyberGuy Report”” with the description, “The CyberGuy Report is syndicated daily to FOX News, FOX Business, FOX Sports, NY Post, Yahoo! News along with TV and radio stations throughout America”.

    I’m sure someone with heavy ties into FOX News wouldn’t have any motivation to sabotage DDG to strengthen other search engines that loves targeting ads to users
