Yeah, using Firefox is a real hassle compared to Edge or Chrome. It's really only worth it if you're hardcorde into privacy but barely usable for your average Joe /s
Learning Rust is probably always worth it. It's more efficient, lasts longer and is safer, I would try it
Try The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's pretty cool and has some very complex sentences
He's the kind of guy that looks at a Fairphone and says "if you compare this to a Pixel, the Pixel is faster", talks about how important repairability and sustainability is, vows to mention it in future phone reviews and then proceeds to never mention it ever again but instead keeps on saying how great the new iPhone is.

I'm not really a fan of sponsor block. It's pretty much the most privacy respecting way of advertising and safe income for the creator. Seems like a win−win. I don't like watching ads but I'd rather watch a sponsor segment than a YouTube ad
NewPipe ftw though
I'm not against crypto. It's just not that usable for everyday transactions like at the grocery store
laughs in F-Droid
That was beautiful and probably the most competent customer support you're gonna get from MS
Bro. We just don't want some stupid money hungry company harshing our mellow here.
It isn't a new thing for companies to take a cool and open thing and just fuck it right up. Read this: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html You may learn something...
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.
It's an illustration of what the first vertebrate that stepped on land may have looked like. If that thing would have been killed, we wouldn't be here now
