  • The engine occasionally throws up a "Sorry, we've detected unusual traffic from your IP address" and then I have to type in my query again after solving the captcha. They're also based in France, which is bringing in anti-encryption laws and suchlike, so (unless I'm an idiot, which is not unlikely) the risk of something compromising Qwant is rising a bit.

    On top of that, it's the only privacy-respecting search engine not to achieve an A grade on ToS;DR.

  • I don't like Brave as a company. Brendan Eich is an arsehole, Brave Browser has had (minor, but numerous) controversies, their crypto stuff is off-putting, and now they're sticking their new AI into everything.

  • It stopped returning results. I tried other instances: same problems. However, I think the issue may have been fixed.

    I am currently on an iPhone, and I'm not really in a position to self-host (although I did try to set up a FreedomBox the other day).

  • In an ideal world, this would be a good thing. Machines doing the work so humans can relax; but I doubt this is even possible in the world we live in.

  • Mematic is really the only generator I can get on my phone that doesn't suck. Unless I were to pay £4.99 per month for Mematic Pro, the watermark cannot be removed without some godawful cropping.

  • Oh fuck off, you absolute nitwit.

  • I like the way you think. I'll wait for more news before opening the champagne.

  • I guess ol' Vlad got bored of having people fall out of windows.

    That is, of course, assuming the Russians were behind this; there's always a slight chance that it really was an accident.

  • Try Vikunja. Project Segfault has an instance, but you can host your own if you want.

  • Happy Birthday!

  • ...Aaaand I'm officially tossing the browser. AI has it's place, and that is not embedded in every fucking program I use.

  • I'm sweating too. My hobbyist software brand is called X-Industries.
