Brave Search is awful for non-English results. Startpage is decent but only because it’s basically Google results.
I was wondering if this happend again so soon, since I already updated last week.
It’s a great tool but note that by default it upgrades EVERYTHING, up to and including production cloud environments if you are connected to any.
The vitriol the “Clean Code” cult has against comments is unbelievable…
Windows has billions of users, I guarantee you more than a few care about FOSS.
Also FOSS repos for Windows do exist, as explained in other comments here.
I still use it on nearly every new Windows install (including when helping others setup). Although Ninite itself is not FOSS, it has many of the best open source Windows software in its curated list.
There are a ton of great FOSS for Windows. Even before I moved to Linux as my primary OS, I used many of these because they were often just better than the proprietary alternatives.
I still have my old games case. I sometimes browse through it just for the nostalgia. Even just looking at the discs brings memories.
I think it’s the difference between the call ending suddenly (hang up) and the call not responding for several seconds before dropping (lost connection).
The Kestrel Cruiser from FTL. Even though it’s not even the coolest ship in the game, The Kestrel is still the most nostalgic for me.
It brings me back to when I first played FTL a decade ago. I was a kid back then and loved the game so much, I even built and painted a cardboard Kestrel model.
The other thing is just how much I hate Windows Update. I can tolerate most parts of Windows, but WU is objectively terrible. It’s incredibly slow, requires multiple restarts (sometimes forced!) amd sometimes fails with random errors that are impossible to troubleshoot.
It goes without saying that most Linux package managers work incredibly well in comparison.
It’s so nice to be excited about my OS again. I remember as a kid, I used to be really excited about Windows updates. People were cynical about Microsoft even back then, but I remained loyal to Windows for years.
Only last year did I finally move to Linux as my OS (although I still use Windows for gaming). Since then every following Linux news is always exciting. New versions of distros, desktop environments and software always bring interesting improvements.
Meanwhile on the Windows side, most noticeable updates just bring more ads, tracking, forced Edge recommendations and forced logins. Ironically the last Windows feature I remember being genuinely excited for was WSL 2.

There are so many different “privacy browsers” for Android, that it can be hard to keep track of them. FFUpdater is the one place I can find all of the good browsers, as well as information about each (including Warnings on why you may not want to use them).
The feature that Liftoff has is automatic redirects. So for example if I am lemmy.one user and want to subscribe to !memes@lemmy.ml, clicking the Subscribe button on the Liftoff app will offer to redirect me to lemmy.one/c/memes@lemmy.ml. On the web interface, you would have to manually go to that domain.
Also all the links in my comment automatically open in the Liftoff app.

Why would they work well? Their business model doesn’t incentivize dating apps to work well. They sell subscriptions so they’d rather their users stay perpetually single and become increasingly desperate.
