I still prefer Andisearch, it's Lightyears better and the most private of all other AI, but it's not OpenSource. From 2 devs which also hate Google and abusive big companies.

I'm far left wing, but it's my philosophy, it don't exclude the respect and tolerance to others (to certain limits). This is what is really important, a unique truth don't exist.

I don't think so, there is a lot of very different opinions but all debatables. The only thing which, at least in the instances in my Timeline, are far right wing or faschist users.

The best alternative to Instacrap IS Pixelfed, decentralized and federated

AFAIK it uses several engines (DDG among others) with which it ssearch the relevant information, using a own index of reliable sources. As said, I use it almost since the beginning because of it's really good privacy, good results and reliable answers. It's not a good ChatBot, it's what it is for, as a search assistant, capable of summarizing and explaining content to specific questions and it does it very well, with links to all sources for further information.

Try Andi, it's the most private (active privacy protection, anonymous, no account, no ads, no cookies, no logs, random proxie, own reader mode, watch YouTube videos sandboxed in the search results, apart the best in accuracy in an independent AI benchmark. I use it since 2 years as main search by default. https://andisearch.com/

It is not that difficult to prevent private and important data from being leaked. It's not about becoming invisible, just slow browsing with TOR behind a VPN with difficulties on many web pages. We must differentiate between private data related to the person and the activity, this naturally must be hidden or spoofed as much as possible, and on the other hand technical data, necessary for the pages to be able to display the content properly (screen resolution, public IP to display the correct language, operating system, desktop or mobile, etc.). This is data that does not compromise privacy when it coincides with millions of other users. All other can be blocked with a good ad/trackerblocker and some common sense to avoid the existing traps and dirty tricks used by the compañies.

Spain here. Yes, most listened argument "I've nothing to hide" or "Companies already knows all about you" and similar BS. You can't do more than warn them, explaining that online privacy is synonymous with security, if they don't pay attention, well, Darwin approves.

Data that companies sell to others puts it outside our control, we do not know how they treat and protect it or even continue to spread over the Internet.

I don't believe that Win10 will die, due to the huge amount of users and companies. I think that it will be the same a with Win7, which survived several years it's announced end. There are still users which can't even update to Win11 with a relative new computer (without tricks), not because the lack of sources, but because it's specs don't appear in the list made by M$ of supported specs, as in my case with a 3 years old Laptop, because my AMD Radeon 9425 don't appears in this idiotic list, offering to buy a new PC to use Win11 🤬💩

In case that you be aware that it is activated by default, 90% of the users are not. No advice by Apple

My problem is different

• Waking up at >9:30
• Me: 'cof, cof' njmgrhaa
• My body: coffee

Dayly routine of an old retiree
