Didn’t recognize the Patreon link at first, thanks!

I’m tbh. glad we don’t got Karma on the Fediverse.

I think you confuse search engines with AI. Search engines are supposed to index, not “steal”. I also questioned the legality, not what your moral compass is saying.

Companies like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and StartPage pay Bing and Google to use their search index/API to get search results.

DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and StartPage fund themselves through search advertising.

Brave Search uses its own search index, which they also sell access to, and they fund themselves through search advertising or an optional ad-free premium subscription.

SearXNG scrapes the search results without providing any monetary value to the search engine providers who are offering the service.

I’m questioning the legality of SearXNG, as it scrapes results from other search engines without paying, from my understanding.

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

It would be helpful if you would put in the title and description in which jurisdiction you live in.

TL;DR: Both; but it depends on your threat model who and what you want to protect against.

I wonder why they still haven’t had their domain taken away, as it is hard to believe they didn’t upset their local government too.

The worst thing the UK could do is sanction the country where responsible people live, though I consider this unlikely. The second worst thing they could do is just block it nationwide on a network level.

I would rather not.

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.

Quote from the article.

TOR is mostly designed to run within the Tor Browser or specialized operating systems like Tails or Whonix. While it is possible to use Tor systemwide on a normal OS, it comes with many problems, such as slow connection speeds, very limited bandwidth, no split tunneling, and other technical network limitations. VPNs, in comparison, usually provide a better user experience, but privacy-wise, Tor is the superior tool.

*onion services

“Dark web” is a misleading collective term commonly causing confusion. The Tor Project themselve refer to .onion websites as onion services.

Depends. The update will likely be rolled out via Google Play system updates and not a usual Samsung One UI update. Disabling Google Play Services might also be enough to restore the functionality of installing (“sideloading” is a misleading term, making it seem like installing software from other sources is unusual, weird, and “shady”).

I also highly recommend against stopping OneUI system updates, since you will miss out on important Android security patches.

Yes, it doesn’t take you much research to find out that it is impossible to achieve anonymity only through a normal VPN service. The technology doesn’t allow for it.

Everyone who believes otherwise got deceived by cheap marketing lies from providers like NordVPN.

The company has gone with big profits in recent years through the sale of so-called VPN services, which make it possible to surf anonymously. In 2024, the company had a turnover of SEK 314 million.
