Google sucks

Be careful that unlimited ( more acurately labeled via the “high speed data” limit) is a widely used practice of false advertising.
Check the throttle speed to see what happens after you run out of data.

Not perfect:
But here are some ideas.

• reddit (tor)
• wikipedia (tor)
• certain niche direct sources (tor)

More ideal ideas:

• certain specific private source (maybe tor). Not reliable but high quality.
• large collection of raw links ( requires labor, skill. And yields imperfect results )
• searx ( mainly to share with friends and as a fallback. it is a pretty great premade metasearch engine when selfhosted)
• ready-to-go foss searchengine implementations. (Limited in scope, requires decent amount of “labor” and time. Requires setup phase and light maintaining. Extremely high quality results. Optionally invest money in various ways to supercharge. Perhaps recruit collaborators)

other stuff:

• creating private collections and bookmarks
• not using internet or using rarely or using in cautious way. Or not using www.
• focusing on distracting self with hands-on projects.

What am i actually using at this point? (Nothing is set up currently!).

• Sometimes i use tor 70% of the time. Sometimes i use tor 30% of the time.
• very frequently non www .
• duckduckgo when needed. [Often] without visiting the links
• niche sources (2, …)
• reddit

*this isnt perfect! but i think overall i think i dont spend much time traveling to websites for info.

Historically:

• searx
• searchengine
• dabble in scaling.

Future:

• selfhost
• scaling
• further isolation
• IRL
• other stuff. such as creating new solutions.

There is certainly room for immediate improvement here.
Im just lazy.

I dont need the internet as much as the internet needs me.

Lets say you live in a tribe. Everyone eats the same shit. Everyone does the same work. Everyone feels the same way. Why is it necessary to pinpoint an individual?
Any specimen from the batch is going to tell you what you what you want to know.

I don’t know why we even pay unless having the 100% desired experience.

• 100% privacy
• 0 ads
• full decentralization
• lightning speeds
• good experience

Anything less is a scam. Live your best life possible.

99% of the population doesn’t get this.
They aren’t even aware that this is an option.
They settle for mainstream social media jail.

edit: should add: low price.
this is lesser important depending on how much experience is fulfilled.

The internet isn’t worth so much that people are going to be willing to pay $100 and get their shit stolen.

Maybe they should shut down and just only sell harddrives. lol.

use gemini

enshittification.

my theory is that they are pushing for more expensive upgrades like fiber.

i believe that data breaches are so frequent, that we now have a dedicated community to post these.

free trial tmobile (esim)

how do these two birds interact in the first place?

zsh if you can survive configuring it

whether or not tiktok spreads misinformation…* i do not know.*
but its the only platform i know that feeds your political tendancies if you continually seek it out.
i am very certain that other platforms tend to funnel you toward trad lib (if anything at all!)
so, what some people claim about mainstream censorship… is true. (in my experience)

i was once told to hotlink images from other hosters… as opposed to uploading to lemmy. (to save on resources!)

you can run tor on it

flatpak is about permission:

the fact that gtk, qt, firefox pull in a hundred deps is their own problem.
not a problem per se…

ask software to install itself twice and it becomes noticable how enormous the code is.

rfc didnt seem so bad to me. but im a hobbyist

can anyone recommend a tool to parse xml?

thats kinda true. (even excluding gemini lynx user like myself) comps and phones have reached overkill for most users. therefore sff is totally fine for most users.
truth is… only reason i dont have a bigger pc is that i want flexibility to move apt if my landlord raises rent. thats literally the only reason.
otherwise i would have dual socket, 8 sticks memory, full sized gpu, etc.
i dont mind not having all that. although, it could be used for something… currently it would be used for nothing.
