While realistic - if nobody tries differently without getting just the massive bag of ceo tax money, it’ll never ever change.

How dare you expose my mobile typing and/or my not-native language speaker! /s

Netherlands here and as well we have so many local shops that outbeat Amazon that it isn’t even fair. There is a very small chance I buy something of Amazon, think the only time I did was for a replacement item for a Dyson.

Interesting, thank you for the detail.

Outside of junk pre-installed, isn’t it also just a longer extended windows update? Meaning you’d eventually get the updates regardless?

Think this was sponsorblock due to above statement

Weird. My Logitech G502 Lightspeed just plug and plays on my Linux distro. Only thing is that I cannot configure it but I can read the battery w/o additional software unlike the other platform.

The best and set up fully automatically.

Some sites fail, have noticed this as well.

Was actually a damn good bot =(

+1 to NanaZip

I like this one, i tend to do this as well. Possibly discover something new and more geared or useful to you; or else an experience that tells you what doesn’t fit for you.

I’ve gotten really good with ddg searches to where I find much more than I did on Google bypassing the first big payers to Google to stay on top… Even if it’s not relevant to my search. I stuck around with ddg and now as I grown into other area’s of IT like Linux, I noticed there were a lot of great bangs that could get me towards the information I wanted.

Same goes for ddg as for Linux to develop new workflows to keep it fresh and make computing fun again.

DDG is awesome, been using it for years.

Pro gun rights is precisely why I don’t like America, along the other statemente in this thread. Y’all got it tough to only be able to vote for two terrible options.

MPC-HC + Madvr is a lot nicer, VLC for mixed other videos though.

Rustdesk vouch.

Huh? We in Netherlands have 5G

They all use Bing’s, idk how i feel about that fact actually. Curious what you others use. Just as a thought experiment.

Been an avid ddg user but hate how it sometimes does push this micropoop nonsenses. Like msn news

Yuuurh!

That’s what I said - the right key wording. It’s pretty strict, whereas Google’s results sometimes are a tiny bit more loose understanding of what you roughly mean. Though not always, and on Google I found myself often just adding “Reddit” for specifics. Though really really depends on what you search.

For me DDG offers a lot more than just search results, the bangs and features like I added a script to directly port my questions to some AI is really useful.
