Searxng throws together results from different engines as far as I know.
Not sure how a federated search engine would work though.
Edit: hash0772 (is there a correct way address someone’s username on Lemmy?) already mentioned this but it’s generally best to use an existing instance, there’s also some on tor. (they obviously still only search the clearnet)
At least FOSS doesn’t try this. At least not as part of the program (I think there’s some childish behaviour from devs but generally it doesn’t make it to the code).
I’m guessing it’s the one on the left that’s new.
the knowledge that their money is going directly towards their favourite creator and not some random advertiser.
The advertisers aren’t getting money by showing you ads unless you buy something, unless you mean YouTube which I think still takes a cut. Also I’ve been getting ‘recommendations’ for videos like those from channels I haven’t even subscribed to so it’s almost certainly not my favourite creator they’re trying to get me to throw money at.
The YouTube main page is already usually about 16-20% ads (although every now and then it’s less) I don’t like having even fewer serious recommendations.
I’ve tried compiling C on windows in vscode in the meantime and I gave up and switched to a GitHub codespace to use GCC and cross compiled for Windows, then had to download an extra dll for a library and put it in the folder with the exe and it’s massive I believe it was like 1.4mb instead of 30kb on Linux. I’ve got all of the games that I want running on Wayland now too while on windows I still can’t run a tiling window manager or change keybinds for moving around windows.
If you were just talking about how most non programmers will find a way to compile C natively on windows rather than switch OS, fair enough. I’m also sure windows has more desktop apps available but there’s plenty of useful tools on Linux that don’t run on windows or don’t integrate into system components (have you ever extracted a tarball in windows explorer? tar ships with windows but it’s terminal only) and nobody (other than ms) is allowed to change the last part (to my knowledge, I’m not a lawyer and haven’t read all of the windows EULA but I think it would fall under reverse engineering).
If you are not a programmer and don’t care enough about your privacy to learn about a new system and you don’t care about customizability too much you’re probably best off macos (seems to be compatible with more none games and customization tools) or windows which is hideously expensive unless you know where to get it and then you still get spied on and receive ads (not sure whether Macos does that).
Fair enough but have you tried running GCC on windows? Or perhaps videogames on Mac (according to non Linux users that I know both of those are a real pain)
To be fair I had some trouble running some apps on Wayland at first but now it’s only a couple of games (which run fine on X11)
Why though? I’ve failed to run windows 10 on an old laptop and windows 11 won’t even officially support something without TPM 2 and just seems to want to commit suicide on my machine (and take any other bootloader to the grave with it). Macos gets updates for a few years until it doesn’t and then software won’t run on the older/newer versions. I personally don’t know of any software that wouldn’t run when I updated to Linux kernel version 6 (likely some drivers that aren’t maintained though) and I’m also running Linux on my old Pentium 4 with no problems except overheating in summer which is probably because it needs to be cleaned.
When has anyone ever recommended windows/macos over Linux for compatibility?
Have you seen Windows 11 yet? It’s somehow worse…
It’s just practice is what I tell myself. One day you might need something to scale and then you’ll regret it not having made it scalable. If you have a previous project to copy that’s probably good too.
Huh I always thought most people got that somewhere in their head…
Wait why didn’t they keep unpacking the recursive acronym further? GNU’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix I’d say that’s a pretty good amount although if there’s a mathematical way of formulating the unpacking of acronyms in a text I’d like to see the that repeated until infinity.
The “an” was the only thing not capitalized.
You don’t want DB to have any more delays though so only do it if it’s a cargo train.
To fix the vampires being out of sync you can just attach them to different drive shafts and just use the right gear ratio.
And if they mess it up you don’t have to tolerate it at all!
Hmm what to do? Genocide or complain about something that no one wanted to hear? It’s such a fine line… how does anyone decide?
I’ve done it when I was sick and was it was taking a while for the rest to come up… So technically I was looking at my phone in-between the individual pukes
You’ve got make sure you program the time machine correctly though…
