I run my own searxng instance. It's amazing.

I also spun up my own yacy instance. It was pretty terrible. It could be good, but you would need a pretty beefy machine with a lot of storage and a lot of time for it to index for it to be anything approaching good.

No free speech is not a right. Freedom of speech without prosecution from the government is a right.

No one is required to platform your stupid fucking viewpoint.

The 1st amendment ONLY allows you to say what you like and not have the government prosecute you for it. However, there are still limits to speech that cannot be prosecuted.

For example, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can't cause a mass panic that results in injuries or death.

A private company has exactly zero obligation to platform your idiotic ramblings.

Yes, he is. People like this are divorced from reality.

He's a billionaire or whatever. The speech doesn't effect him in any way. He still has more resources than he could hope to burn through in multiple lifetimes. Speech literally cannot harm him.

He doesn't understand that to all the doors, some speech can and does hurt us.

Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.

Also you don't have to have a pi to run a pi hole. You can run it in windows using WSL. Just search Google for pi hole WSL. All you do is run the power shell script and it does practically everything for you

Also, winaerotweaker makes it easy to turn of ads, telemetry, auto updates and tons of other stuff

Sounds like a pihole on your network would solve all of your issues.

I work for an MSP managing thousands of workstations and servers. I'm also the "VPN guy" so I deal with them constantly every single day.

Perhaps you should ask questions before making assumptions.

Vpns are working fine. This article is dogshit.

People in this thread sleeping hard on Grayjay

There is a reason for this. While ipv6 has essentially unlimited addresses, it is a pain in the fucking ass to deal with and in many ways causes more problems than it solves.

"sending aide to Ukraine, though that is getting iffy"

This tells me everything I need to know. That you would even say something like this means you have no idea what you're talking about.

Additionally, you realize that those are all separate bills, right?

Lol nice bad faith argument. Fucking Lemmy sockpuppets.

I suggest you read the bill. It isn't a tik tok ban. It's actually quite a good piece of legislation.

Does every single creator get paid for their work and the value that they add to the platform? Or does YouTube arbitrarily get to decide who gets a tiny piece of the revenue from the content that YouTube doesn't own?

What the fuck? Can you sync chrome to edge and edge to opera? What kind of bad faith bullshit ass argument are you trying to pull here?

You're claiming that you cant sync data on Firefox, when you absolutely can. Then you claim that what you meant was that you cant cross browser sync on multiple devices. Well congratufuckinglations, you can't on any other browser either.

What is wrong with you?

That's nice. Do they also create the content for the platform that is by far the most costly part of it? Or have they simply found a way to monetize content that does not belong to them?

Joseph Biden has more blood on his hands than the worst serial killer in history

And statements like these are why it's impossible to take anything you say seriously. You have to be seriously brain damaged to make a statement like this with a straight face.

That content does not belong to YouTube. And they also do not pay for 99% of it.

YouTube depends on people to use it for it's existence. They also depend on those users to upload content so that YouTube can then treat that content as if it is its own and monetize it.

If I was in such a precarious position I wouldn't go about making the experience crappy for those users that I'm desperately dependent upon.

Firefox has had data sync for a long ass time.
