Big search engines like Google and Bing are well known to track searchers activity and sell that data to advertisers — which is why many of us don’t feel comfortable searching freely anymore.If you’re looking for more private alternatives, here are a few I’ve come across. I’d love to hear what others are using too! DuckDuckGo – Great for simple, untracked searches Startpage – Delivers Google results without the profiling Brave Search – Strong privacy with its own independent index MyAllSearch – Clean interface with a focus on user privacy Qwant – GDPR-compliant, with servers based in Europe Dogpile – A metasearch engine that pulls top results from Bing, Yandex, and morePlease share anymore Iv'e missed, I'm always curious to discover new ones.
>>106532606I think you're right. didn't use to be, they were solely independent

Useful for researching topics where you don't need cutting edge up to date info from Reddit and other epic platforms/metaverses.
I don't like google because of the toaster-sharted "people also ask" search suggestions that remind me of interacting with esl normies on DiscordYou don't like google because you've gaslit yourself into thinking that there's some way forward to privacy.
I use brave

Problem ended up being firefox.... I'll probably just move her back to mint and install Bluedevil again. She quite litteraly only uses it for uni and set her up with chrome.>>106532481I had her using mint but blueman is a piece of shit so I installed Bluedevil and it worked and I figured "why not just give her kde, looks closer to windows anyway and fedora had good driver support (allegedly)">>106534725It wasn't for some altruistic free software crusade. Her shit brick of an azus took fucking forever to load a website in chrome.

Potential ramifications for American sites?
>The most self-hating race on the planet bar none>Their own social media
>>106529740Yeah because as we know pajeets are big spenders on American websites rather than most likely spam/scam. It makes no sense for Indians to interact with Americans on Facebook or any other social media platform.
>>106529383>jeetbook opens>all the jeets migrate to jeetbook>massive increase in selfie related deaths as jeets in close proximity can't resist retarded one-upsmanship >jeet population is now self regulating and they stop exporting themselves to other countriesThe only proper application of accelerationism.

>>106535131>1805x1203Curious>>106535361Do you utilize Bumblebee? Also, Is x11libre giving you issues, and that is why you disabled the GPU?
>>106536823>Do you utilize Bumblebee?I disabled the Nvidia card with udev rules>>106536823>Is x11libre giving you issues, and that is why you disabled the GPU?no, not at all. my desktop runs a 4080 Super with Xlibre and it works fine. I just disabled it because I don't need it. the listing I bought the laptop from didn't mention the card so I thought it wouldn't have it, I'd have preferred it that way kek

I'm using a 32B distilled version, I have a larger one but it'd be mostly loaded from regular RAM so it'd be slower.
>>106536890>32B distilled versionQwen, Llama, or something else?
>>106537009Qwen something, I forget the exact name.
>>106536890>I'm using a 32B distilled versionI consider all those distills "technical demonstrators" at this point. There seems to be nothing but issues with them. You'd be better off with pretty much any other 32B model.

COVID was the self replicating Q AI and the vaxx helped deliver it.>over 70% of the worlds population has been inoculated with the [Q]uantum AI>13.4 billion doses administeredNow we just wait for them to roll out the new technohomo system and hook up all the cattle to it along with all the IoT devices before the inevitable. Many of the unvaxxed will line up for the boosters once UBI and other benefits are announced.The masses will also line up for any future brain implant augmentations.

How the fuck does it work?How come, when I started a company and tried cold-emailing other businesses, half my emails were deferred, yet my inbox gets flooded by thousands of rakshits offering SEO/webdev/mobile app services? Sometimes they'll send me the same email four times, or send me emails pretending to be American. How the fuck is that shit not flagged as spam?How do they even find my email? The company is eastern euro, based in a non-jeeted eastern euro country, providing services only in said country.
>>106533695On PC yes, now let me check on mobile:Pajeet pajeet pajeet
>>106532931>offering SEOlooks like they figured out how to get views and you didn't. cope
>>106533856It's funny, because the company is no. 1 in the city where I offer services.While they pretend to be Americans, using names such as "Thomas Wilson" in emails with obviously jeet english

>>106532112nta but you people who act like the C standard is the only thing that defines the behavior of C programs in the entire world and call everyone else who disagrees retards are the real retards. Its the literal IQ bell curve meme. The C standard does not define the behavior when you cast a function pointer to a void pointer, but POSIX does, does that mean that every C program that casts a function pointer to a void pointer is invalid because the C standard specifically doesn't define the behavior? No. If that program targets a POSIX system, it's perfectly valid! The linux kernel relies on TONS and I mean TONS of behavior that isn't defined by the C standard, why? Because that behavior is defined by the C implementation they use: gcc. Are all linux kernel developers retards? Is Linus a retard? But none of this really matters. Because the exam question being discussed here isn't testing your understanding of the C language or the various implementations thereof. It's testing your BASIC understanding of computer architectural fundamentals, it just happens to use a generic C program to try and test that, because specifying a hyper specific system where walking through a uint64_t with a char pointer is guaranteed to preserve endianess is just a pain in the ass, and most competent students will understand that the question is an endianness question. If you don't want to learn the fundamentals of computing what the fuck are you doing trying to get a university degree? If you just want to churn out non performent, half baked, shit apps that reimplements something that's already been implemented thousands of times, go play around with an LLM, you're not going to bring anything of value to the table with your half baked understanding of computer systems.

Old thread image limit reached.1. I usually get pro models, but this one is so fucking ugly, aluminum fucking sucked back in iPhone 5S days, your hand acid will etch the porous aluminum out, they made it more rounded so its going to be more resistant to that, but next year they will release a version that has those sharp polished accents like iPhone 5S used to have, and those will etch like crazy.2. Whole massive bump is a good thing in that they should be able to fit the sliding lens next year for actual optical zoom.3. the 8X is fake, its same tetra-prism of iPhone 15 and 16, but with bigger 48MP sensor they will be able to crop better and extract more from the telephoto lens. Glass is what limits the ultimate resolution of the sensor, so bigger sensor will give better image quality, zoom in to 8x on your iPhone 15/16 Pro Max right now and it will look the same just slightly sharper, just because of extra pixels, but its still a hack.4. vapor chamber, metal encased battery, and ceramic coating are the only great additions, metal encased batteries were added some time ago but now it seems we have them across all phones, should be more user service-able, thank Europe for this, because our politicians here do not give a flying mega fuck, and they shit on you poor fucks who don't even have a trust fund. Ceramic coating is amazing if truly added, think CERAN, the "glass" that is used in electric stoves, transmits infrared, crystal structure makes it so it does not shatter from hot/cold shock, hopefully that also translates into shatterproofing.5. Applel Watch - well, not much to say, hypertension sensor is great, but obviously limited, sleep tracking is fucking retarded, blood oxygen level finally gone it was retarded, you should know when you are asphyxiating from lack of oxygen, A MUCH BETTER ADDITION WOULD BE AIR MONITORING SENSOR!6. eSIM - fucking cancer, you cannot change or move your SIM w/o carrier approval "for privacy and security." Get bent.
