This, I’ve just installed it this week and I think it’s better than Google (though I’m suspicious of the “free” service.

They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the "next best thing".

Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the "ad revenue".

I'm de-googling as fast as I can.

It’s a duality…

• In Europe, you can get a hefty fine if you are a public figure and slander someone else without evidence, see the two examples below on the same politician, a MEP (former):

So it’s not like in US where the “first amendment” allows you to derail everyone and everything without consequences…

At the same time, EU wants to fight criminality, e.g. drug cartels, money laundering, terrorism, human trafficking, etc… by removing encryption that makes investigation “more” difficult…

And if you think about it, most people use encryption and other security measures not because they are criminals, but because they are essentially “owned and spied” by big tech…

As some douchbag once said, the government doesn’t care which porn sites you visit or with who you go to bed with…

Every now and then just throw a “miau”, in the conversation… 🤪

The most reliable for them, I’m trying to move away from Google as fast as I can:

• Vivaldi browser,
• DuckDuckGo / Bing
• Next will be LineageOS…

Actually, money could have been saved… here’s why:

1. The US Navy’s submarine detection network heard a “boom” on the day of the implosion, which they kept close to their chests…
2. Sounded the alarm, they spent money and resources looking for something they were almost sure was lost…
3. After the expiration of time when the submarine “could be recoverable” was when they said “well… we did heard something the other day”…

Imagine the other possible scenario where the say on the first day “Hey, the sub imploded, we heard it on our underwater microphones, we won’t spend money looking for these people…”
And then a future investigation reveals that they got stuck somewhere or lost power but were “buoyant” for 48 hours or so, and died for lack of oxygen when no one was looking for them.

Can you imagine the lawsuits?
