Search Engine Privacy

Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows

I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.

I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.

In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it's fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.

When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.

The only right answer... But wouldn't Name[1] be 'e' in this case? I would add a .split(' ') to avoid confusion.

So the full answer would be Name.split(' ')[1]

Why do I always over think stuff like this...

Edit: they also shouldn't capitalize variable names

The magic genie has appeared to grant you your wish. What small thing do you wish for that would have the biggest positive impact on the world?

Wouldn't work. If there's so many diamonds, they'd just kind of lose their value. Also, who are you gonna sell them to, if everyone has them?

Although it could kind of be a new currency that excludes the rich, making their wealth at least a little useless.

I fully agree on the premise, but I think it needs refining.

The state of Playstore

I run /e/OS with a custom app store, App Lounge. It combines F-Droid and the Play Store via Aurora. It even embeds Exodus Privacy Ratings and is simply awesome. You can even log in with your Google account and download paid apps that way. Pretty neat.
