Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?

+1 for MUBI , it is a streaming service with curated high quality cinema. And they have a very accesible plan . They have a notebook or magazine they deliver every few months that is priceless. I have some volumes. For Cinema lovers obviously .

Anyone know if Qwant's search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it's hard b/c it has the best search results

[โ€“] DrCataclysm@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I've been using it for about a year now and it's quite capable. Picture search is good and the layout is quite nice.

There have been some fringe topics (mostly programming related) where I needed to resort back to Google because the results were just not good enough. Also it has no Maps equivalent (anymore) which sucks when you want to search for places.

Damn, I wish I had MAX were I live. I was in Sweden last summer and my SO didn't let me go to MAX ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Love to see Europeans jumping on board as well. At some point Americans only customers will be Russia and North Korea if Trumps administration keeps bullying and alienating countries like this.

Food drink and clothing I was never buying either side anyway.

Recently got some new plain cotton t-shirts though. ยฃ2.50 each at Tesco so I got 8. Should just about last me to 2030.

love to see bespoke weathered text instead of a font
