If algorithms are are not the default option and are not designed to generate profit for platforms and advertisers, then perhaps they could be a healthy way to discover new content

Cash or monero.

How can a Twitter be an X? it was born a biological bird, not a letter

Google/YouTube doesn't care. If they can put ads on it and make money they will leave it up.

They will run ads for whoever pays them including hate groups like the Heritage Foundation

The point is to influence the election next year, not to make money

trustworthy

They are recommended on privacy guides: https://www.privacyguides.org/... I generally trust privacy guides, although I don't use Brave Search.

CEO

Their CEO is anti-vax and homophobic. Brave Browser (not search) has had some controversy around including crypto, replacing ads with their own, and having had inserted affiliate links into the URL bar in the past.

censor stuff

Hard to say, the job of a search engine is to show you what you want to find.

data collection

There is telemetry that can be turned off.

iPhone has the better reputation for privacy/security, however it is proprietary software and so no one can really tell for sure what kind of data that Apple might collect on you.

George Lucas has said that it was the Vietnam War that inspired the conflict in Star Wars, with the Empire representing the US, but also the rebels could represent the US against the British Empire from the Revolutionary War.

It is FireFox that has hidden settings (about:config) adjusted for privacy. It refers to using a js file such as betterfox or arkenfox, or a pre-hardened fork of FireFox (Librewolf on desktop or Mull Browser on Android).

How is Biden oppressing those groups? We are in this position (bans on healthcare, etc.) because Trump's three SCOTUS picks overturned Roe v Wade and opened the door for all the insane fascist shit going on right now in the Republican controlled states. A majority of people live in Democratic controlled states that have protections for these groups. Things could get so much worse if Trump is given any more power. His first Presidency already set half of the states in the country back over 50 years in terms of women's rights. He's also promised to enforce the Comstock Act which would effectively ban abortion nationwide by preventing medical supplies used for abortion related healthcare to be sent in the mail. Not only that but hate crime rates have also gone up since Trump's first Presidency enabled white supremacists to express their views more openly.

I primarily use DuckDuckGo, and occasionally have to use a !bang to get to the Startpage or Google.

How can you distance the browser from the company that maintains it?

I might replace Microsoft with Linux in Windows 12

Or they might deny his death outright and vote for him anyway

We can house and feed everyone, but we don't because it is not profitable to do so. Destroying the planet by selling and using fossil fuels makes a lot more money.

I chose the boy character while thinking to myself "I wish I could choose the girl."

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

"they" in this poem is referring to anti-semites, specifically Nazis. Germany is doing the right thing by censoring and excluding anti-semites from society, to ensure that what this poem describes will never happen again.

I can't be trans, I just spend 8 hours a day thinking about whether I'm trans or not for the past 5 years
