the entire world.

Good to see this topic come up. Been using Linux mint for about a month and I can say i don't miss windows at all.

Also consider Tuxedo computers, linux focused and HQ'd in Germany.

I had this talk with someone I barely know about Trump.

She said he must know he's never gonna be remembered as an exceptional president, so instead he is trying to just be remembered, doesn't matter if for good or bad.

I think that makes so much sense.

No, we were neutral.

And some people still complain that US tech companies keep getting petty fines in Europe.

We're the only ones trying to enforce even an anemic degree of antitrust, since the US just allows them to do whatever.

People are just stupid.

I agree with you thoroughly.

It didn't pass. Its just, they keep trying to push for it, but thankfully some countries are still shutting it down.

First of all, it's not pointless -- every little bit helps.

And I really want to emphasize this. People are having an "all or nothing" attitude about this when that's not even the point.

If we can replace 50, 40, even 30% of the US software we use daily with European alternatives, it's already a massive win for us. The difference then adds up to millions at scale at the end of the fiscal year.

I don't lose sleep over having to add "reddit" or "forum" at the end of my search query.

Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.

Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google's service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.

Yeah, that's the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that's it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.
