the entire world.

I mean, have you seen how effective Tik Toks one is?

And some people still complain that US tech companies keep getting petty fines in Europe.

We’re the only ones trying to enforce even an anemic degree of antitrust, since the US just allows them to do whatever.

I agree with you thoroughly.

It didn’t pass. Its just, they keep trying to push for it, but thankfully some countries are still shutting it down.

I’m fairy sure the guy above said “use X” not use social media. X is a particularly shitty platform.

I don’t lose sleep over having to add “reddit” or “forum” at the end of my search query.

Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.

Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google’s service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.

Yeah, that’s the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that’s it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.

Yikes. Thanks

Is that real, or a misinterpretation of the law?

I meant to say SearXNG. Still being maintained.

I’ve tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.

Wasn’t Google in the middle of an antitrust investigation?

China does everything better than the US. iPhones are made in China.

For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:

What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn’t already doing?

Have you tried talking to customer support? I hear they are quite responsive.

I 100% agree. Whenever these companies start with their own projects I immediately get suspicious that their goal is to enshittify down the line with vendor lock-in.

The only reasons why I’m seriously considering a Tuxedo are 1. European brand and 2. Double SSD.

Not a lot of laptops seem to be offering double SSD while being Linux compatible, so my hands are kinda tied.

When was it the last time a Christian did that? Other than JWs who have stopped knocking on doors like 9 years ago.

Btw, I’ve 100% had Hare Krishna’s and other “better yourself” religions bothering me for money. And christianity is a “better yourself” type of religion, too.

There’s so much wrong with your comment that really, all the downvotes you are getting are totally warranted.
