A much better way to raise that signal, is to use that money to buy native Linux games instead.

Orion is based on WebKit, not on Chromium. The Mac version of DuckDuckGo's browser is based on WebKit too.
Try out SoftMaker Office or WPS Office.
Take a look at SeaTable.
That is about patents, not about copyright. Patents protect ideas/inventions, and are controversial. Copyright protects works, and aside from what should happen with it if the author dies, is not really controversial.

The EU is trying to make it mandatory to allow sideloading. This is bad, but also the opposite of what you are saying.
Google Maps is for finding your way around where you are. Google Earth is for seeing the world.

I like the combined approach of Apple Maps.

DuckDuckGo is just a proxy for Bing, the results are the same. Kagi and Brave are actual competitors.

The Apple Arcade and Netflix versions give you double the Monkey Money as the microtransaction version. I agree they should have changed more, but it's not true they didn't adjust it.
Re:Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users on Saturday August 05, 2023 @05:16AM (#37010344)
Kagi does have its own search index of niche sites, they even have an API for it. This is combined with Google results; they used to combine with Bing as well but stopped due to Microsoft charging too much money.

Very different from DuckDuckGo and Startpage which are still just a Bing proxy and a Google proxy respectively.

Nintendo sucks at marketing, it’s why the Wii U failed. Apple barely does marketing in my country. They are doing well right now because they make superior products and people are noticing.

Microsoft does the exact same thing with DirectX on desktop.

And neither Direct3D nor Metal have any real advantages over Vulkan. They exist for locking in developers.

Please stop calling F2P's "games".
