3. Lets Search!: This search engine might be a bit overwhelming at first because it is by far the most technically complicated to use out of what I am going to recommend here. It technically is not a search engine of its own, but a search term generator that allows you to use advanced search featurs of various pre-existing search engines.https://letssearch.org/

4. Yandex: While most people in many parts of the world are unfamiliar with it, this is the most popular search engine in Russia and the CIS. It is designed to be competitive with Google and in some regards have technically superior offerings, particularly their language translation service and their reverse image search service.https://yandex.com/

5. Mail.ru: This search engine got its start as an alternative frontend to Google for Russian speakers and run by VKontakte, but later would switch to Yandex before starting their own search engine. The search engine results are respectable, performing notably better than larger search engines when searching for content and services which might not respect intellectual property laws in all jurisdictions.https://go.mail.ru/

6. Baidu: While it seems to rarely be used outside of China, Baidu processes roughly 75% of all web searches within China. Similarly to Mail.ru, Baidu does not provide an English-language interface, but it takes an extremely relaxed stance on providing results to potentially copyright-infringing content. https://www.baidu.com/

7. r0.ru: Also known as Rambler, this is yet another tool for searching for content that may be of particular use to those seeking a less-filtered, Russian-language search engine, but do not wish to use the Yandex- or VK-owned alternatives due to their heavy integration with AI services or perhaps are offput by their status as large tech corporations.https://r0.ru/

8. Ecosia: While their results are certainly perfectly fine, this search engine is particularly interesting from a pro-social and ecological perspective. They share their revenue with tree-planting organizations and maintains public transparency with regard to their revenue and spending. They also claim to be privacy-focused and are located in Germany, notable for its fairly strong Internet privacy laws.https://www.ecosia.org/

inb4 yes my Internet works fine and both OneDrive and the Windows Store have no problems with connecting to the same accountwith Linux, I could just fix it myself, but with proprietary commercial crapware, you just have to ｅｎｄｕｒｅ whenever it breaks

in order to max out the settings of the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 at a resolution of 720p and 60 frames per second, you need either a GeForce RTX 3090, a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, a GeForce RTX 4080, a GeForce RTX 4090, a Radeon RX 7900 XT, or a Radeon RX 7900 XTXthe minimum required GPU memory to do this is roughly 14 GB, 8 GB of which is dedicated to textures aloneI am commenting on this purely because it is a little bit absurd to me

@Houl I can run it at that resolution on my system, but I have to reduce the settings below max to avoid crashing :vit supposedly will run fine on minimum settings with just 3 GB of vRAM, but I remember being told that my GPU was supposed to be able to do 4K gaming when I bought it so not being able to max a game out at 720p60 feels a bit unreasonable @.@

every person who makes the take that “opposing AI being built on the uncompensated labor of others for profit is just promoting copyright law” is just a worthless, hypercapitalist piece of shityou don’t get to pull that shit when it is billion-dollar corporations exploiting the labor of individuals for billion-dollar profits like it is the same as some kid downloading MP3s or Marvel movies
