I use dict.cc because they support the context menu action to look up definitions.

Same for Florisboard: press ?123
, then 1234
.
Side note: Florisboard also allows you to use custom keyboard layouts, which would make it possible to
a) make the numbers keypad accessible with one click from the main layer and b) move the numbers actually to the right side (not in the middle like they’re now).
There’s a catch though: currently, the process is quite technical. An easier way is planned, but it’s hard to say when it will arrive.
Time to ungoogle my phone once again. Did it before, reverted it in a stupid move to try out Monster Hunter “Go”; should’ve never done it in the first place. Bye, bye, Google. Go fuck yourself.
It’s not like they’d develop a new engine for iOS. They already have one which can now be used for iOS as well – but not everywhere.
Maybe a bit patience will do, since Thunderbird is planning to…
a) make an iOS app b) add support for sync to you can sync your settings and account conifgurations between devices
I don’t know of any good solution that works right now however. :-/
Yeah, agreed, Marginalia’s more suited to discover small-web type of content.
Another thing that’d be better as a daily driver, but requires manual curation, is to filter out specific domains in your searches. Brave supports that with the Goggles feature, Mojeek calls it Focus. AFAIK Kagi too has a similar feature.
I don’t know any search engine that’s able to fully exculde paywalled content though.
Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for, but Marginalia (https://search.marginalia.nu/) focuses on non-commercial and text-based content.
I’m not aware of any functionality which allows to block messages from unknown users. I think blocking them might be your only option right now.
Easier said than done (and already too late for you), I know, but: in general, be careful where you leave your number…
And for 80$/month you can get 25Gbps!
uBlock Origin would be my number one, but they don’t take donations. So my list would roughly contain:
I’d like to donate to Firefox as well, but Mozilla spends too much for the wrong things and AFAIK it’s not possible to only support Firefox development.
Mojeek has it’s own index. DuckDuckGo, Qwant and Brave have a partial index mixed with meta search results.
Hm. Some fantasy stories / books I really enjoyed and recommend are:
Eragon by Christopher Paolini. Just awesome. The pacing is gentle but a lot higher compared to The Hobbit or The Lord Of The Rings. One of the best fantasy stories I know, I read all the books multiple times. Warning: Don’t watch the movie. Just don’t.
The Idhún’s Memories by Laura Gallego. I’ve read them a long time ago, so I don’t know if I’d still enjoy them that much, but I’ve great memories.
I didn’t read The Name Of The Wind yet, but it was recommended to me multiple times as THE best book.
If you don’t mind science-fiction, I also would recommend Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovski.
Side note: Fantasy is quite a heavy genre if you’re not really into reading yet. Often the good books are large, which makes it harder to finish in a reasonable time. General tipp: try to read one hour a day. This creates a habit and you will soon read a lot faster, which makes it a lot easier to just grind through a book as if it was nothing. Also try different genres, maybe one doesn’t sound appealing, but you would enjoy it anyway.
A network of (“thousands of”) servers has — like most things — pros and cons.
Some of the pros are:
Some of the cons are:
They’re talking too much business to be a ‘private’ search. They don’t make any effort to explain how their search is private at all (except the 90/10 share model).
