  • I’m really on the last page with Whoogle.

    It’s a great app, been using it for privacy a long time now. All creds to the developers.

    But as Google Search continues to get worse and has been for a while now, I’m going to start to selfhost Searx instead. I’m currently using a public instance.

    Truth to be told, I think all search engines are getting worse. But with Searx at least you have more sources in one app.


  • Yeah, nowadays the only you might notice the difference between processors is in the camera. How fast it processes and how able it is to film in 4k (or not), and of course in games.

    My Moto (midrange) phone is plenty fast for daily task while the battery last at least for 2 days with my usecase. But it can’t film in 4k (I couldn’t care less), because of the limitations of the CPU. I do value battery life though and don’t game on it.

    However, as the OS is bareboned with little bloatware, its very snappy. Moto phones are also a safe bet if you want a phone that just works all the time, every time, things like the fingerprint scanner.

    Oh, and did I mention it cost half what a galaxy phone costs?







  • And thanks to their Signal connection graph, the government can easily tell what other people they communicate privately with.

    So what? I’m sure your neighbor couple talk privately to each other most of the time and you know that happens. The important part is that the conversation is private.

    Signal is not an anonymous messenger app. It never claimed to be. It’s for you to have a private conversation where your device holds the encryption keys.

    Not like WhatsApp, where Meta has access to the keys of all conversations. Also 95 % of the worlds population is on WhatsApp, so why don’t you go and complain to them for lack of privacy and security?

    If you want an “anonymous” chat client they are out there to use. Good luck getting more people onboard other than your savy friend.
