Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google

  • Ah yeh, I tried StartPage for a while. IIRC the image results page wasn’t so great. Not many filter options and so on.

    • Fixed that one meme

  • Oh interesting! I’d never heard of le-potato. I’ll check that out, thanks!

  • Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.

  • I think Ecosia pulls results from Bing if that’s any better? I use them occasionally but generally prefer DDG.

  • And I feel like that happened really quickly. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Edge was a nice, nimble browser. Not this bloated naggy beast it is now.

  • Who’s monopoly are we talking about? If that’s the goal then Firefox + DuckDuckGo would be more sensible right?

  • Disco Elysium I think. It’s a goddamn quote factory that game!

    • Now Kdenlive is my best friend

  • I used Blender as a video editor for a while. It worked really well. Very stable and the proxy system made editing on a low powered machine really nimble. I remember there was some project that offered a Blender setup geared specifically towards video editing. Can’t recall the name though. The Blender Velvets?!? That doesn’t sound right …

    I also tried Olive many years back and thought it looked great but just wasn’t ready to push out ShotCut and KdenLive from my workflow. Glad they’re still working on it.

    • Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?

  • For me it was more a system than an specific game. I got a second hand GameBoy when I was like 5 or 6 and have been gaming consistently since then. Probably the highlight of that period was Super Mario though.

    • Meta discontinues Messenger Lite for Android, it will be unavailable after Sep 18. Users need to install regular Messenger app instead

  • Yeh, it works pretty great. And they’re working hard to cut the waiting time down.
