If you have spare hardware lying around and a public IP (or a server anyway), you can selfhost SearXNG.
If you’re fine with paying 12$/month (with tax) for a customizable search engine, very accurate and transparently sourced/quoted LLM, and just a better index than any other search engine I know, use Kagi. I heard some rumors and bad things, but nothing to do with privacy, only the aforementioned tax.
And for a free search engine which claims privacy and is an alternative to DDG, with its own index afaik, Brave.
This is an article often quoted, which makes it seem like it’s a kind of consensus. Yet one of the main points, taxes, can just be disproven by reading the Kagi FAQ about it. Find it by searching “Kagi inc tax” on any search engine, like Kagi itself. Or just https://help.kagi.com/kagi/faq/sales-tax-vat.html.
We weren’t initially required to collect sales tax/VAT until reaching certain thresholds, typically defined by the number of customers in a jurisdiction or sales volume.
And sooo many other things in this article are purely based on assumptions, incorrect data and misquotes. This personal blog is exactly none better than your average hustle-finance-nazi-bro podcast, in almost all terms (except political views).
Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone could finally become a reality if a recently awarded patent is any indication. This patent hints at a revolutionary self-healing screen.
To be fair, I do see many problems with smaller phones today, at least on iOS. My grandfather regularly cannot enter credentials into apps or even use them, because they were not made for smaller screens and are not scrollable, or the keyboard (which can’t be hidden) is over the input fields. Mainly OS problems, but also formfactor issues.
Babies don’t have it better tho. My name is Ian (Don’t ask what my german mother living in germany thought), and some random ass neighbour of the allotment gardens of my aunt mispronounced it as “Ui/Ue”. So that’s my name for my aunt and sometimes mother now.
Und das der dann im Trip hängen geblieben, und im Rausch dann als “Heiler” umher gezogen ist, war auch ein blöder Fehler, nächstes mal dann weniger Crack äh Weihrauch.
I didn’t even know Sony makes games, and I was pretty surprised by it, because I wouldn’t buy any game from them anyway out of fear of exactly what happened
Even worse, unlocking the bootloaders isn’t supported anymore since the edge 30. That was the reason why I got an edge 20, so I could use it much longer. So either they deliver longer updates on the edge 50, or I’m going to switch to the fairphone at some point.
