Oho, that’s so simple, too! I know there’s tons of google alternatives out there, but this extension takes the cake! I am adding this right away :)

Brave, Qwant, etc. just weren’t as effective for me. Marginalia gives interesting results, but since they specifically prioritize small sites, what you get won’t always be approachable (For the example “The History of the Internet”, you mostly get blog posts, niche wiki projects, and stackoverflow pages- though admittedly they are all relevant)

Oof, I’m already getting the “Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot”” errors :(

I really like these kinds of things in principal, but so long as uBlock’s still able to keep up with YT’s nonsense, I still prefer accessing YT with that versus a separate site.

In a perfect world, something like a PeerTube instance or maybe an alternative like Odysee would take off

This is true, and I’m not against “alternative” sources for ebooks (having used them myself), but it’s always better for the libraries and authors if there’s foot traffic to the libraries, since that drives tax dollars which in turn makes its way back to the authors. It’s less than pennies on the dollar, but it’s important.

I Expect You to Die, the first game has a really good tutorial for someone completely new to the controls. Since it’s stationary, they don’t have to worry about movement/motion sickness as much

I can’t find a scan anywhere of anything 4a or higher, but if you are willing to pay for a physical copy there are a few sellers on AbeBooks selling “Reach Higher Student’s Book 4A”.

For free textbooks outside of that series:

BCcampus Open Publishing: They provide a ton of free courses and textbooks on a variety of topics. This isn’t really piracy, but it’s got a ton of good information.

I did find one site that seems to have all the PDFs for sale, but I can’t tell if it’s a scam or not. I would recommend looking at some of the free resources available on BCcampus before attempting this.

I think it’s important to provide children with a variety of potential careers ;)

I imagine that it could also get pretty data-heavy if someone subscribed to a large server on threads (assuming it doesn’t become another metaverse).

It usually does, however, there are cases where a hole can have two openings. For example, there’s a saying/idiom about digging a hole through the earth and ending up in china/australia/etc. It would be confusing to say that you “dug two holes” to China, you would only say that you “dug a hole” to China. “Tunnel” is definitely more precise here, though it would be odd to refer to the openings in a drinking straw as a “tunnel”

In fairness, privacy issues have been a bit like a “frog in boiling water”. Unless you pay a lot of attention to these things or are completely out of the loop, the average person won’t see the issue.

At least my grandmother’s vindicated now for not wanting to get on Facebook and share those sorts of things

I kind of hate that you’re right

I’ve been watching “Match Me Abroad.” Basically, it’s people going to other countries in order to find love through a matchmaker service. It’s not very good, but it’s entertaining.

Thanks for making this!
