It sends your search to google but without connecting your search with your ip.
Not true
I don’t get it either
!g sends you to the Google website, obviously Google gets your IP, browser fingerprint, etc. that way
Nah, Windows always does that on its own. No intervention required.
Windows doesn’t even have a proper terminal lol
Don’t use proprietary Tampermonkey, switch to Violentmonkey
Startpage gives you Google search results without exposing your data to Google. It’s better for your privacy.
It’s one of the reasons I absolutely hate Windows. Nearly every OS uses some form of Unix. Android is Linux, iOS is based on XNU which is FreeBSD, macOS is also XNU, Linux is unix-like, all BSDs are Unix, even the OS used in the PS4 is FreeBSD and thus Unix. Windows is the only thing that’s different.
You can use Startpage to get Google search results. It’s a meta search engine for Google, but it doesn’t expose any of your data. You can use it with DuckDuckGo’s Bangs feature. That way, DuckDuckGo can be your default search engine and you can make all of your normal search queries with DDG, but if you want to search on Google through Startpage, you just type !sp followed by your search query into DuckDuckGo and it will forward your search to Startpage. This also works with many many other sites, type !bangs into DDG to get the full list of supported websites.
I really hope no one in this community uses Google as their search engine.
I remember using this (cheating a little bit with VPNs and proxies so I could claim the rewards like 20 times every day, because they are separate in every country) to get some Xbox giftcards
I also had ~15 Microsoft accounts and I put them all in a Microsoft family so I could transfer points from one account to another, it was really fun lol
Some Tailscale clients are open-source and you can self-host a Headscale server
Linux isn’t Unix, it’s Unix-like
Maybe it’s just because I’m fundamentally more of a console user than a windowing-system user, but to me a Unix-based OS is always going to be a winner compared to Windows.
I absolutely agree
But, if you want to laugh at OSes, laugh at classic MacOS
Or some weird old Unixes like AIX
I’m doing the same right now, but the next TV I buy will be a commercial-grade Large Format Display
Large Format Displays like those made by NEC are my secret tip, they usually don’t have any “smart” garbage, they’re great for wall-mounting and you can even get them with an anti-reflective coating
