They already use drones with facial recognition in protests to identify protestors. It’s not a big step to also arm those drones.

Google considers inappropriate language to be more problematic than mass murder.



This is not a problem if you have good public transportation.


America plans to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.




I consider myself very lucky because I can walk to work every day (around 2km one way). Or aat least I used to walk before the pandemic. These days it’s just workin from the couch.


Inflation will get worse if this war continues. Russia is one of the largest producers of oil, natual gas, fertilizer and many metals. Ukraine and Russia together are huge grain producers. This will get worse as the real impact of the war starts to be felt.

I wonder if this is ripe for disruption. Any value in a startup that sells a web index?


I think writing a search engine on top of an existing index is not hard. The more difficult and expensive part is crawling the web.


I’m no supporting the guys who spent 20 years on a murder spree in the Middle East. The West has a lot of blood on their hands, even more so than Russia.




You missed the point. I just want to be able to control what shows up on my feed.


Is there a way to remove certain high-traffic instances from my “All” feed?
Lemmygrad has more traffic than most other instances and drowning everything else in my "All" feed. Is there a way to remove them from my "All" feed?

A lot of projects do that, same with NewPipe. I think updates to F-Droid are usually delayed and slow. Adding their own repo allows you to get updates faster.


What’s going on with Duckduckgo? They have been doing a lot of really questionable stuff lately.
