  • imho if they actually delete your info afterwards, this is actually useful. (currently deleting a lot of accounts; opened a support ticket on one site that said that i want to delete my account; after a while without response, the login didn't work anymore so i assume they just deleted the account without confirming it to me (like, i guess that is exactly what i asked for but i'd rather get a quick email so that i can mark it as deleted in my password manager than having to check if the login still works))

  • to be honest: i have no idea

    it could be perfectly safe; it could be very unsafe

    because of that i'm currently using startpage

    • kinda based in europe
    • iirc the company that owns it is american though
    • uses google's search results ._.
    • doesn't do any ai stuff iirc

    while trying to minimize my web searches by

    • typing in domains instead of searching for them
    • using bookmarks
    • using firefox search shortcuts to use a websites built-in search
    • using offline stuff
      • linux man pages
      • python help()
      • etc
  • their commitment to env. activities is sincere

    I somewhat had this opinion as well, but by jumping on the ai hype train they threw this commitment out of the window imo

    Edit: sadly I don't have any real european alternatives (that aren't just using google or bing results) as the only other one that (partly) uses an eu-based web index is qwant, which is in no small part funded by Axel Springer and iirc a previous ceo went on to create a sourveillance company (which kinda seems fishy)

  • thank you so much!! just had a blast rewatching it after not having seen it for a long time. i guess the "code brown" joke (the president shitting his pants) is more current than ever.

  • no, I don't think so (it loads for me)

  • hmm

  • i thought this was some kind of medical device you would find next to a hospital bed and got slightly concerned for a second

  • wondering why firefox hangs as you paste a 30MB text file into an online diff tool

  • I've never seen an equals sign inside a term

  • and gender confirmation would not be getting called sir/ma'am at the starbucks but people asking you for IT help?

  • ok, let me rephrase that: this image was posted by an LLM agent that also generated the title (which can be seen on your own post that i linked), effectively making everything about this post ai slop except for the image that was made by someone else

    happy now?

  • 2025: Governance issues and community concerns not addressed by company shareholders stalled the development of Organic Maps for months.

    2025: The CoMaps community & non-profit project was founded by former Organic Maps contributors, based on the Organic Maps source code.

  • don't eepsites have a lot of the issues that onionsites have as well?

    if a party were to acquire a large portion of routers, eepsites could be deanonymised as well, couldn't they? the only difference i see is that i2p is not as popular as tor and therefore not a target of agencies (yet).

    also i think most tor nodes nowadays are run by volunteers (of course you could argue that they are agencies in hiding)

    they also can't control the network because the software is not designed to be controled (which we can confirm ourselves as it is open source)

    2000 sites every year? i wasn't able to find anything on that

    from the markets and people that were deanonymised that i heard of, the crack in anonymity was always the person leaking their identity through some other means like using the same email for irl and dark web stuff or the feds applying social engeneering, not a fault of the tor network

  • sorry, are you reffering to "The Onion" news or onoinsites?

    i think the hard-to-guess (ie you have to know the domain to find the site, you can't just search for it or guess the domain) and anonymous nature of onoinsites means that authorities don't really care about legal or mostly legal (ie not giant illegal goods marketplaces) as the effort to de-anonymise them is not worth it.

    if my assumptions are wrong then please correct me.
