  • For me it is nothing. I don’t use the VPN and I own my domain, so I keep that if I ever change providers. The calendar works fine.

    Ethically I have accepted that a comment was made by someone that should not have been shared, but I also accept that there is not a single company in the world where there are zero people with whom I agree 100%. The only difference is they don’t tweet about it. I am only fooling myself if I think changing providers will make any difference. Maybe the CEO of the next provider is a racist wifebeater…

    Their service has been excellent, it’s European which I aim to support and their security is heavily scriutinzed as it’s open source. I sleep well giving them money for an great service.




  • I’ve been trying to get into Searx for about a month now, but I just cannot make it work the way I want it to.
    The auto-detect is constantly in the wrong country, sometimes throwing me to a random one if I search for a product e.g.
    If I lock it to one country it works better, but then it excludes so much potentially useful data.

    Any advice on how to set it up a bit to make it work better?


  • Yeah this mirrors my approach to it.

    People can like Trump/Musk or dream of Marxism in practice. I am so far from both ideologies that I find it difficult to relate to either, and end up being called a traitor by the left and a triggered lib/loser by the right. Lemmy is in my experience quite left.

    The political differences have become so extreme that I just avoid any debate at all and stick to the technical stuff and hobbies. My sanity is more important to me than trying to convince someone over the pond that they are wrong.

    Honestly, I just try to live my life as the best person I can be. I’ve gotten to old to try to change anyone else. And I have had some great encounters here, so I am not going back to Reddit anytime soon.

    Stay awesome, people!






  • Nope. I’ve given up trying to nudge people in, what we deam, the «right» direction.

    If they don’t see any problem in giving away their privacy for convenience, then that’s their prerogative.
    Hell, I am still unable to de-google completely myself.

    Considering setting up a Matrix server for when Discord goes full entshitification. Maybe some will join then.
