The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:

• endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us

• load dodgy third party sites libraries

• insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance

So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.

Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.

Thx for sharing

Stract on github

Can self host

The other suggestions aren’t suggestions at all. They are obsoleted by searx.space

DDG … obsolete

startpage.com … obsolete

Browsers have default search engines. Curse everytime, DDG is accidentally queried.

DDG is a curse word!

Any centralized site, with privacy claims, is treated as lying thru their teeth. Front run future news.

SHUM

Property owner rights do not magically override the 1A.

Property owners are welcome to write scary notices. They are just not legally enforceable.

yeah but America employs all the UK actors to teach us how to behave and think.

If British customs haven’t rubbed off on America, can we not say the UK actors have not done a great job at promoting the UK?

my votes are for nusensor, popupblocker, dark reader, nuke anything

then someone with much more talent can step up, rename the plugin, and carry on.

The challenge is choosing the next maintainer user handle.

Good choice?

did he just out passive aggressive the Japanese?

Wait! So the author bows his head, says hey great guys u win. Watch i complied.

Leans over to the stranger sitting next to him and says, hold my beer.

In the same heartbeat, creates another git acnt, exact same commit history. And carries on. Some other author, totally not the same guy but oddly the same pgp public key announces they’ve taken over and here are the new urls.

i call that mission accomplished

this comment thread is like fight Money Mcbags and go bankrupt for our entertainment and for the LOLs and feelz good?

Or we can just post the new urls and pretend it’s a new maintainer, with the handle lawyerdisappointed

A FOSS app for digital payments, must have a company front to sign deals with country retail store chains. Although customer kyc can be avoided, the payments from the front company to retail chains would be thru a corporate structure.

… maybe convenience is the wrong path

The advantages of PoW crypto, over digital (and PoS), it’s possible to force between seller and buyer:

• communication with end-to-end encryption
• privacy oriented marketplaces

With the goal of fostering our own private communities. Over time, might spawn a sub-culture, identity, and ultimately people hood.

I hope this is sarcasm

Currently trying to improve a popular Sphinx extension, sphobjinv. Can watch my daily pain here

If anyone is so inclined, please throw some litecoin my way

The litecoin will go towards my daily milk tea habit. Elephants work for peanuts, i work for milk tea.

aGPLv3 is a good business model. If companies are using your kit in their closed source projects, they need to pay you

donationware is abandonware. We brand it Apache2.0 or MIT

So they are gaslighting to cause you to have doubts. So they are using a psyche which is a symptom of them having unrestricted access to your time and ears

AGPLv3 is not anti-business or anti-money. It’s saying if you want to use the code in a closed source project you need to pay the copyright holder

The copyright holder is the original author, not a maintainer or someone who forked a project and renamed it.

That’s why the #1 thing mentioned in copyleft licenses is you can’t alter the copyright notice and declare yourself the original author

AGPLv3 is a good license to choose. All the other licenses are naive and do not combat closed source projects and the slave worker that keeps our projects unfunded

Exactly. They obviously didn’t research licensing enough.

Closed source projects need to pay for licensing. Or they will force you to work for them designing web forms and smartphone apps

Am i wrong?

pirate: My dreams concern ccy off ramps. Remote work is our future.

At all costs, never ever answer any kyc/aml questions:

• What’s your name?
• How old are you?
• What country are you from?
• Where do you live?
• Can i have your phone number?

The truth is vastly overrated concept.

openssl rand -hex 20 <-- memorize this. Adjusting integer affects output length. Try it now. Now try is 20 times in a row. This is your name and password generator. My name is a71fe7b7ec46e0ae0a191004509af262cb2bbe99

Outing your identity has HUGE financial and legal repercussions. Not outting your own identity saves on: stress, time, filling out forms, and you can keep your income and house (a motel is insurance). There will be fees to be paid to ccy off ramps, but they are nothing in comparison.

If anyone insists, insist they give you their credit card. Then keep it. This is an important life lesson. Anyone can be de-systemed. And as soon as you internalize that … the better. If you are not de-systemed, consider yourself de-systemed. Plan accordingly. I know folks who are de-systemed.

Make a telegram group for onboarding. Create invite links as needed. Then no need to exchange phone numbers. I’m ok with Russia viewing my communications. In fact, that’s hilarious. Could use e2e encryption. Boris is busy anyway.

If you talk about coding always, you’ll become immune to censorship. Normies brains cannot withstand such punishment. They’ll find someone else to censor.

HVAC: mini splits

black mold forms and causes breathing problems. Clean aircons (air conditioner) every 6 months - 1 year.

If water is dripping from the outside unit, your aircon is lacking gas. Making it into a giant fan.

A mini-split is chosen to meet the needs for one room. Some folks, and can’t be convinced otherwise, think an aircon can cover the entire universe. And to prove it, they leave all the doors open.

This is proof we live in the matrix. It’s completely unsolvable issue without self closing doors
