Not sure, people outside IT world, at least in my country, still speak about the “Microsoft crash” and don’t know at all about Crowdstrike. Now that make me think that MS will probably try to sue them for the “ravages” to their corporate image.

Happy cake day ! Many thanks for all your time making this instance so great. I just love being part of this community.

yep but nothing prevent you from using an hosting service, there are plenty on the web, or you can selfhost

Thank you for your dedication in maintaining us a great instance. Very much appreciated, I’m really happy that my initial instance closed and that I choose (mostly out of luck) this one.

Coming back to this after a while trying out. Qwant is indeed very nice in Europe at least. I tested it and adopted it, I also like the fact it have a map based on OSM which is nicer than the Apple thing in DDG.

I’ve also used Startpage and DuckDuckGo, they all have their strengths

Can you develop? Why do you prefer qwant over ddg for example.

I also dropped Google search mainly for two reason. First privacy, making money with my private data and so on. Then I find Google search is less and less good, the first thing being that sponsored links are first even if they don’t match well the search keywords and even not looking at sponsored links I think the results are much worse than in the past.

I now use duckduckgo and I’m happy with it but I can try something else.

After a few days of testing, I think this feature is really working very well. Thanks.

I read every night with a kobo e-reader (next to my partner who generally sleep before me). I use night mode and a very dim brightness (2-3 %, the max I use is 4 %). It’s sufficient in my opinion.

Exactly, this makes me very anxious. Feeling that we’re just cutting the branch we are sit on …

Anyway, I would advise to upload pictures to a pictures hosting service (plenty on the web, I put a few links below).

Using it in a post or a comment is straightforward in markdown: ![](https://myimghost.com/mypic.jpg).

Even if allowed, hosting images is very space and bandwidth consuming leading to costs for instance owners…

Didn’t knew this one, still a fan of osmand but why not give a try

Definitely for osmand+, I think this is one of the best opensource app on Android (and the fact being openstreetmap based is a definitive plus because you can correct the map for benefit of the community).

What is considered as active ? Is someone connecting to his account and lurking considered active ? Or, someone who just up/downvote without commenting or posting ?

IMHO the website is sufficiently usable on a mobile browser. You can still use “add to home screen” to have a shortcut on your favorite launcher.

No issues at all :)

I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).

Thanks for this update, the MD editor looks promising. If you want a good open source example of great md editor, take a look to Joplin mobile app.

I recently started using Duck Duck Go instead of Google.

I still had this thought that Google was the best technology as I went from the early web (remember… altavista.digital.com, yahoo, …) and I remember that Google was really a game changer when it started to become popular.

I tested setting DDG as default search engine in my desktop and mobile browsers, thinking that when I don’t have expected results I would go to Google… I never had to switch to Google because I was wrong, DDG is as good as Google while being better from privacy point of view.

For the browser I use Vivaldi on both android and desktop.
