Ah yeh, I tried StartPage for a while. IIRC the image results page wasn’t so great. Not many filter options and so on.
I think Ecosia pulls results from Bing if that’s any better? I use them occasionally but generally prefer DDG.
And I feel like that happened really quickly. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Edge was a nice, nimble browser. Not this bloated naggy beast it is now.
Who’s monopoly are we talking about? If that’s the goal then Firefox + DuckDuckGo would be more sensible right?
I used Blender as a video editor for a while. It worked really well. Very stable and the proxy system made editing on a low powered machine really nimble. I remember there was some project that offered a Blender setup geared specifically towards video editing. Can’t recall the name though. The Blender Velvets?!? That doesn’t sound right …
I also tried Olive many years back and thought it looked great but just wasn’t ready to push out ShotCut and KdenLive from my workflow. Glad they’re still working on it.
I wouldn’t put forward 0 A.D. in this situation. That’s a full-blown 3D game. Even Wesnoth and Orion might be a bit much for this case.
