I was sort of under the impression that tlp was an “install it and leave it if you want” type of thing, but that you could tweak it more to your liking if needed. 🤷‍♂️ Well, in any event it didn’t work for me in either case!

Thanks for the suggestions; I might give auto-cpufreq another shot first just because I’ve used it in the past on another machine, but if that doesn’t work, I will definitely take a look at tuned. 👍 Will try to remember to report back with the results, though it may take a while.

I’ve got “Play DRM-controlled content” active . . .

It would be nice if Leta had tabs for images, videos, etc.

This?

StartPage should be !sp.

This is unfortunately the same type of experience I’ve had with SearXNG. 🙁

I haven’t really experienced a worsening of DDG, and this is a bit off topic, perhaps, but—

I have yet to find a better alternative to Google’s video search. Google Books also remains valuable in many ways, since it will give you different “search inside the book”-type search results than the Internet Archive will (and they also have some books that IA does not).

What’s annoying to me is that StartPage, which is supposed to have Google search results, and by and large does, does not give the same video results as Google (go ahead, try it). It would also be nice to have an Invidious or FreeTube type front end for Google Books, and I believe there used to be something like that, but not any longer.

Some Google products still have definite value, it’s just important that they derive no benefit from us using them.

Like this, he means?

EWOC, which is mentioned in the article, unfortunately didn’t seem to be able to process my very modest contribution 🙁
