Google search is going to suck so hard with this new AI update. We need a new search engine for the web that is run by librarians like pubmed but not run by the US gov.
(DDG is Bing which is also rubbish. Please don't suggest Kagi, it is very expensive for people living outside developed countries. Also its results suck for anything outside software and technology. Marginalia is tiny and is very biased towards the anglosphere).
I look forward to updating apps installed with F-Droid. I get new bug fixes, improvements & features. I get a nice explanation of what changed. Sometimes it is great to see my tiny contribution (translation, finding a bug).
I hate updating apps that are installed through Google Play. Most keep getting bloated, change terms of service, change looks suddenly for no reason, add more advertising & tracking. They patronize me with their cute 'what's new' messages that say nothing valuable. #FOSS
@tokyo_0 if I understood you correctly, my understanding is that followers will continue to follow you on a new instance but your old posts will be gone. I've never migrated so this isn't first hand experience.
@hszakher I am asking because I read an open letter by a group of US artists saying things like "Music unites people from all backgrounds. It’s the one language that everyone can understand. It’s a beautiful thing and a great way to bring people together. Those advocating to exclude an Israeli singer from Eurovision don’t move the needle towards peace, but only further divide the world."
Which sounds to me like both sides of the conflict are represented. So I thought I may be missing something.
Since #VPNs are blocked and the devaluation of the Egyptian pound #EGP made web services unaffordable. There are 2 cheap ways to circumvent blocked websites in #Egypt:
- Anonymous View is a feature by Startpage (a new search engine) that allows users to browse websites anonymously. This lets you access blocked sites (such as Patreon & Mada Masr).
