I’ll probably get FH4, but Motorsport is out for me, since its anticheat is specifically configured not to work on Linux.

Raspberry PIs don’t run on MB/s, they use GHz.

I also consider getting Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Motorsport. Can you recommend these?
- Comment on Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing 1 month ago:
I would love to switch away from DuckDuckGo, and I would be very happy if Mojeek was a viable alternative. I’ll try using it for some time and I will report and issues I encounter with the search. Btw it’s great that you’re on the Fediverse!

I’ve been using Authelia for almost 2 years and I really like it. Never had any issues.

When I see Subnautica, I upvote

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12. Maybe also Forza Horizon 5.

uBO can be set up to block all JS by default, allowing you to manually whitelist each script. github.com/gorhill/…/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode

I tried to use 4get as a DDG proxy, all the instances I tried kept getting blocked by DuckDuckGo. It wasn’t a great experience. I also tried SearX and SearXNG many times, I always keep coming back to DuckDuckGo, because it just works and it gives me decent results. With SearX, I often had trouble finding relevant results. I tried various options and different search engine backends in SearXNG, but I never really liked it. DDG is definitely far from perfect, but so are the other options, and I think DDG is the best and easiest to use for less technical users.

Tell me which of the options I listed you would use.
- Startpage is owned by an advertising company
- Mullvad Leta is only available to Mullvad VPN customers
- Brave does a whole bunch of shady stuff, e.g. installing VPN services on people’s computers, although they never asked for it
The other options aren’t good either
- Comment on Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing 1 month ago:
And DDG is just a proxy for Bing following that logic. I’d choose those three over DDG.
Yeah, but if the alternatives aren’t better, why not just use DDG?
Making a new account every 100 searches should be an option (albeit a somewhat tedious one), no?
That ain’t a great solution either
- Comment on Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing 1 month ago:
Suggest a better alternative then. Startpage, Mullvad Leta and Whoogle are just Google proxies (and Whoogle is pretty unreliable), SearX, SearXNG and 4get are also just proxies for multiple search engines. There are no good independent search engiens, Brave Search sucks because it’s made by Brave, a company notorious for pushing weird NFT and Blockchain shit, Mojeek has pretty bad search results and Kagi requires an account, and only allows 40 searches per month.

- This only applies to the mobile app
- They stopped doing this in 2022
- LibreWolf comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled, which blocks all sorts of ads, trackers and other malicious JavaScript

Never even heard of it

But technically it would be legal, since the DMA came after Brexit
- Comment on Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing 1 month ago:
I hope more users will do the same

Easy Solution: Linux, Firefox/LibreWolf, DuckDuckGo
Fuck Microsoft!

Just read my other comment lemmy.world/comment/8376049
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 1 month ago:
Pixels have many hardware security features that can’t be found on any other Android phone. Examples are the Titan M2 chip, which uses the Android StrongBox and Weaver API, Insider Attack Resistance and hardware attestation. It enables a strong implementation of Android Verified Boot. On many other Android devices, Verified boot is insecure or entirely broken. Pixels are also the only phones on the market with hardware memory tagging.
I highly recommend this section of the GrapheneOS FAQ and this video.
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 1 month ago:
Because Pixels are the only Android phones with reasonable hardware design (in regards to security)

You just described GrapheneOS, by far the best mobile operating system IMO

It works very well, I use it all the time on GrapheneOS
- Comment on India may block Proton Mail 2 months ago:
They probably sent the threats themselves to justify banning Proton Mail, because they want to destroy privacy and encryption.
- Comment on Self hosted Wetransfer? 2 months ago:
I’m pretty sure Bitwarden is profitable, about a year ago they even purchased another company: bitwarden.com/…/bitwarden-extends-passwordless-le…
Also, I don’t think they make that much money from individuals. They focus more on businesses, because they pay more and these customers stay around for a long time, they can’t easily switch to a different solution.
- Comment on Self hosted Wetransfer? 2 months ago:
Sure, I’ve been a premium customer for years because I find the service very useful, but this community is all about selfhosting.
- Comment on Self hosted Wetransfer? 2 months ago:
You can continue using the cloud hosted version of Bitwarden and only use your own instance for file sharing.
- Comment on Self hosted Wetransfer? 2 months ago:
You can selfhost Bitwarden/Vaultwarden (which I recommend, since it’s rewritten in Rust and you get all the premium features for free) and use Bitwarden Send. This is probably more secure than most other options.
- Comment on Webmail client with decent search and large mailbox support? 2 months ago:
My company uses Roundcube for Webmail and offers Thunderbird as a native client. It’s always great to see free software in a corporate environment.
