Yandex source code:
- jesus fucking christ lmao why on earth did they not think to remove their super racist code before open sourcing it.
  "oh yeah make sure racist dave's commits are checked before we upload to github"
  (edit: wait what projects are these? couldnt find em on datalens dir)
  
  This pretends to be a source code which was leaked earlier, not what they open sourced.
- holy fuck! that's being racist for no reason at all
- That is interesting, assuming that it isn't what it appears, perhaps it is a language barrier, since Yandex is Russian, they might have just come up with a special class of triggers, and didn't realize the they were using one of the most offensive words in the English language.
  That's probably too charitable of an interpretation, but I could see myself making that mistake against another language.
  
  You know what, I take that back. Looking at what the code is doing, that feels intentional. It looks like they replaced the term slave, and I can't see a situation where you would replace the word slave with that word accidently.
  
  Yandex isn't just Russian anymore. It partially belongs to Ukraine and its developers as well. Aren't you aware?
If you value privacy then you definitely shouldn't use Kremlin service for mass surveillance aka Yandex
- That's an old rant: woukd you trust US services after the NSA scandal? All govs are s**t today
  
  I guess that depends on which power your agenda aligns with. That power is generally a safe choice, compared to services from a power where your agenda is orthogonal.
  
  Search with Google, it will show you news from FOX and CNN, apart it's not the same if the Kremlin spy you or the NSA, last one affect you directly, the KGB won't visit you for a Lemmy post. These guys aren't even interested in a Western drug deal. Apart, Yandex has by far the best and most complete image search engine of all others, seen, using an extension front-end Yandex is problematic for Rusian people, like Google for the West.
  
  American services at least do not hide or lie about war crimes in their search engines and services and do not play along with Russian propaganda
- Snowden revealed the NSA had internal access to all the major US tech providers. All of them. Some of them cooperatively, some of them less cooperative. And that's not even counting all the surveillance of all the undersea cables. Yes Yandex spies on you for Russia but let's not pretend US search engines are some bastion of privacy.
