Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows

I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.

I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.

In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it's fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.

When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.

I primarily use the first two but the rest works great, too

I'm glad to hear that everything seems to be working now! Don't hesitate to post any future questions.

An App Lounge search for “trebuchet” unfortunately yields no usable results. Could you post the package name and elaborate on how and when the app crashes?

I actually think that voice calls via Element are really solid. 1 on 1 calls can be done via P2P which is amazing for audio and video quality. Group calls are also pretty great with the upcoming (and already available) voice rooms. I really enjoy it and barely use Discord anymore since I got most contacts to switch.

I mean, let's be honest. Discord is actual garbage. Their clients are slow and usability on Linux is extremely limited. For example, streaming with audio is not possible on Linux for some really stupid reason. They use a very old version of Electron for everything. They are financed by China afaik. Push notifications on Android aren't reliable. It's just a hot mess. I'd take Element any day. Although, I will admit that Element has issues, too. The voice rooms are still in Beta, there are some quirks and steaming with screen audio doesn't work on Linux.

It works, thank you

The only right answer... But wouldn't Name[1] be 'e' in this case? I would add a .split(' ') to avoid confusion.

So the full answer would be Name.split(' ')[1]

Why do I always over think stuff like this...

Edit: they also shouldn't capitalize variable names

It really is great and there's no need to thank me. Someone would've eventually made a community anyway

That's a pretty funny tweet, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?

Give it a few days, the GitLab releases are always a bit early.

Ouh, that looks interesting, thank you for the recommendation!
