It would be nice if Leta had tabs for images, videos, etc.

StartPage should be !sp.

This is unfortunately the same type of experience I've had with SearXNG. ๐Ÿ™

I haven't really experienced a worsening of DDG, and this is a bit off topic, perhaps, butโ€”

I have yet to find a better alternative to Google's video search. Google Books also remains valuable in many ways, since it will give you different "search inside the book"-type search results than the Internet Archive will (and they also have some books that IA does not).

What's annoying to me is that StartPage, which is supposed to have Google search results, and by and large does, does not give the same video results as Google (go ahead, try it). It would also be nice to have an Invidious or FreeTube type front end for Google Books, and I believe there used to be something like that, but not any longer.

Some Google products still have definite value, it's just important that they derive no benefit from us using them.

While I'm waiting for the Linux desktop client for Proton Drive . . . does anyone have any experience with Filen?

Up until recently there used to be these special batteries you could put in your fire/smoke/CO alarm that would contact you on your smartphone if the alarms went off while you were away.

They don't make them anymore, and if you want anything equivalent, it seems like you have to buy into an entire "smart home control system" or whatever they're called, and I don't need or want that.

It doesn't have to be a battery, but is there some way I can set up my alarms to contact me without surrendering all my privacy? The alarms I have now also aren't hard-wired into the house, which could present a problem, but that's why the Roost batteries were so nice!

Was just about to post this before @yogthos@lemmy.ml beat me to the punch. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

Why are so many projects still on Microsoft-owned github? They should follow OM's lead.

As creator of this new community, I will take the liberty of making the first, in no way self-serving ๐Ÿ™„ post, which is as the title says: favicons don't display for custom search engines; it worked for Internet Archive, but not for libremd or for AlternativeTo. Any way to fix this?

Since there's a LibreWolf community, I thought that one for IronFox might be useful as well, especially now that Mull is no more.

(I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by creating this; if so, please message me and we'll figure something out, even if it means discontinuing the community!)

SearXNG does, I think...any others? Looking around for other engines that aren't US-based, though I guess DDG is still considered acceptable for LibreWolf's default engine. Bangs are incredibly useful!

Why why why don't they just do like Wikipedia or the Internet Archive does and just come out and ask for donations instead of trying to sneak all this advertising shit into things?

EDIT: Another idea, which I'm sure they'll never consider, is to host actual @thunderbird.net email addresses which could be paid for. People at this very minute are looking for Proton Mail replacements, and this could be one of them . . .

As a Linux person, I, too, am somewhat tired of being treated like a second-class user. Having no Linux client for Drive is a real pain.

Putin's (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they'll have to.

EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.
