Why not? She has enough time

It’s an illustration of what the first vertebrate that stepped on land may have looked like. If that thing would have been killed, we wouldn’t be here now

Best of both worlds

Debian

This is purely based on my experience but somehow I think that Pop OS works better on laptops. System76 is a laptop manufacturer so it makes sense they’d optimize for that, I suppose. You may want to give that a try

I kind of agree but I also kind of don’t.

I thoroughly enjoy well produced content by the likes of Veritasium, Captain Disillusion, Mark Rober, Lemmino, Potato Jet and more. I do see where you’re coming from tho

There still are people doing it as a hobby and some even consider it a hobby despite the high production quality. Those channels are harder to find, though and that is kind of sad. I can’t help but wonder what would’ve been if we hadn’t commercialised the web.

It is

I’m not really a fan of sponsor block. It’s pretty much the most privacy respecting way of advertising and safe income for the creator. Seems like a win−win. I don’t like watching ads but I’d rather watch a sponsor segment than a YouTube ad

NewPipe ftw though

I run /e/OS with a custom app store, App Lounge. It combines F-Droid and the Play Store via Aurora. It even embeds Exodus Privacy Ratings and is simply awesome. You can even log in with your Google account and download paid apps that way. Pretty neat.

Bro. We just don’t want some stupid money hungry company harshing our mellow here.

It isn’t a new thing for companies to take a cool and open thing and just fuck it right up. Read this: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html You may learn something…

Pop! _OS’s Cosmic Version of GNOME (regular GNOME kinda stinks) but KDE is also pretty great. Can’t wait for COSMIC DE. I’m sure that one will rock itself up to the number 1 spot really quickly.

That is weird… Point taken

Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows

I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.

I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.

In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it’s fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.

When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.
