Spotlight, which I was missing from when I had a Mac in 2008
Amazing that Spotlight is that old!

Prices seem high... Features, seem nice (but not crazy):
- "Boosting" and blocking domains: basically permanent filters.
- "Lenses" - Similar to SearXNG's different tabs, but more like a profile style system.
- Bangs are the same as in SearXNG, and I think you can do the same, or similar, thing in Firefox.
- Custom CSS is cool and all but you can get that with a browser add-on (like Stylus).
- Their "Comprehensive result filtering" seems that same as every other browser
- They have Vim-ish keybinds, which SearXNG and DDG have.
- "Widgets" - Seems like Google's quick answers, user created ones are cool I guess.
- The "crystal orb" - Allows you to determine the "quality" of sites, and also open them in the Wayback Machine or adjust that boosting/blocking level.

Additionally, it seems that they don't have seem to have any external audits or releasing of code (correct me if I'm wrong). Additional they have a web browser, that's only for Apple's ecosystem. Overall, you pay for no-ads, I feel like for this feature set you could just use DuckDuckGo with advertisements off, or the HTML version (which doesn't include JavaScript either). I'm kinda skeptical about it, but if it ends up taking off I'll be happy there will be another alternative to Google.

This actually looks very cool, so many new backup solutions to try after this thread. 🥲
Alright, I like both Notion and Obsidian, so I'll give both a try. Thank you!
Threema
Yeah, but how many people use it (half-joking, I'm a Matrix user myself and understand the pain)?
Logseq
I'll have to give this a shot, it looks super cool. Although, is it more of an Obsidian, Notion, or Evernote style?
Out of curiosity can KDE Connect act as a Find My alternative?
Sounds cool! I'll have to give it a shot sometime!
Alright, thanks for letting me know! I've looked at it a while back (it seems it would've been really nice for hiking) and it didn't seem to have everything -- granted I live in the middle of nowhere.

Out of curiosity, its there a reason not to just SyncThing your ~/Documents, or is it more of a Time Machine for Gnome kinda deal?

Oh wow, that looks nice, epically that RegEx support (actually serious, I am a huge fan of RegEx).
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller had a noticeable input delay (enough to make me return it)
Nintendo do be like that... have you found a good alternative, or just the Joycons?
Orbit acts as a VPN and effects the entire system, so all of your apps get routed through ToR.
