Silence hasn’t been updated in four years. I’m not sure I trust it to patch any future vulnerabilities.

The rest seems like a non-issue though. Plenty of open source apps to put in by default.

It’s entirely the point. People’s data is monetized.

I’ll pay money to companies that provide good services.

As for google, why should I pay them for something when they’re already stealing out of my pocket?

It sure as hell isn’t free. Look into trackers and data brokers. Both Facebook and Google profit off you even it you don’t have any accounts.

Sweet, thank you. I’ll be checking that out.

Can you send me a link to that Nebula vid? It might provide me with some perspective.

Alphabet’s profit increased 36 percent, to $20.64 billion, in the fourth quarter.

I think they’re doing alright for themselves. There’s no way this profit all comes from YouTube.

If YouTube premium came with privacy guarantees I would definitely pay for it. Sadly with YouTube premium you’re being taken advantage for both your data and your money. If they picked one over the other I would definitely pick the paid one over them selling my personal data.

That fucking rocks. I can only hear every other word though. AI is impressive.

'Bout time everything burned down. A fresh start could be good.

5 centimeters per second.

I fucking hate and love it.

To be fair, the amount of disparaging words made after the term “Cis, white, male” is extremely high.

I don’t know about your DNS provider farming queries through your search engine (I guess by fetching the content of the visible results?) but I do know that if you have search suggestions on then everything you type is sent to your search engine and recorded before you even hit enter.

Supposedly DuckDuckGo doesn’t retain this data but I’ve been out of the loop so that may have changed at some point. I’ve heard conflicting stories about their privacy and I haven’t dug into it yet.

Most arguments are based on belief rather than facts. We rarely do the research and testing ourselves and instead just trust whomever we already agree with and is considered an expert.

Problem is that’s on all sides of the political spectrum. Everyone thinks their experts are right and everyone else is crazy or deluded.

The way to resolve this and find out what’s actually true isn’t by shutting down what one disagrees with, but by engaging in debates and discussion with each other, and pointing out the holes in each other’s reasoning and tests.

I think Seal might work for you.

For Android you guys should check out Seal

I don’t think it goes as elaborate as the above post, but it works on every site yt-dlp does.

Ah, that’s smart

I definitely agree.

Sure, np.
