I’m in mastodon but I wouldn’t mind trying Bluesky when there are third party servers.

They never cared for privacy, it was all marketing. We should be equally suspicious of Proton and Tutanota.

Regardless if the guy is pro-Russia or not, banning masks in protests is very much an authoritarian move.

Oh I answered the wiremin asshole a bunch of times and they deleted their posts when I told how wiremin was suspicious as hell and shouldn’t be trusted.

I’m guessing that it isn’t. So don’t use it.

this does not affect Google, Meta or any other Big Tech at all. This law was trying to break encryption or do some sort of client side scanning. And it didn’t got approved.

This does not force Google or Meta to encrypt your chats if they weren’t doing so. Or to remove their own backdoors in the encryption if they had them. It’s just a law that was not passed. So your comment does not make any sense.

PS: it’s not like Google or Meta care too much about encrypting the contents. They’ll happily take your metadata which is super valuable. This is what Meta does with WhatsApp.

C’mon, I specifically told that I deleted my comments because I didn’t want to discuss it and you response to that by bringing it up again?

I only commented again because OP accused me of harassing him, which I’m not doing. I’m not interested in talking about the video or Rossmann at all, because it’s just a waste of my time.

this is not open source. from their license:

Subject to the terms of this license, we grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access and use the code solely for the purposes of review, compilation and non-commercial distribution.

note how this explicitly leaves out modification.

You may provide the code to anyone else and publish excerpts of it for the purposes of review, compilation and non-commercial distribution, provided that when you do so you make any recipient of the code aware of the terms of this license, they must agree to be bound by the terms of this license and you must attribute the code to the provider

once again, they exclude modification of the code.

no forks can be made because they aren’t allowed to modify the app in anyway.

Additionally, the termination clauses say that they can just terminate your rights to use the code if they feel like it, no other reason needed. This is a direct attack against open source.

that’s still only pseudonymity. with SearXNG or even with Duckduckgo, I can just open a new window of my browser with a different IP and be a completely different person. Hell, I can even use a different SearXNG instance and my search query won’t even go through the same server than before. With Kagi, that’s impossible. You must always be logged in your account. Every search you do, could be potentially linked to your account.
