I'm constantly amazed that this is a hard subject for people. As the golden rule says:
"I'm not going to reach into your pants, without an invitation. And I prefer no one reach into my pants, because we barely know each-other. Whatever someone tells me is in their pants, I'll take their word for it, as long as they haven't flashed me in public. Also, shitting in practically transparent stalls is awful for everyone, and showering with strangers sucks. Let's all just do less of both."
I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can't do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.
I say "used to" because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.
(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that's all one needs to know.)
Where do you get books for the Kindle if not at Amazon?
When I look for a specific book, I usually find that simply searching for "BOOK NAME purchase DRM free” results in plenty of results.
Sadly, I find it dramatically easier to find a free DRM free copy of most eBooks than to find somewhere to legally purchase a paid licensed DRM-free copy.
As a flawless upstanding citizen, I never partake of such amazing convenience, myself, of course.

True. That's mage survivor bias, right there.
There's various builds for Raspberry Pi that make decent media centers.
Movie theaters are really expensive, so I'm not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.
- Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
Yes.
- Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?
I'm in the same boat. I'll be trying out these answers.
There's a couple of them, I think.

Thanks!
The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in "Dave the Diver" is pretty good.
Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
The answer is 2.
Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.
