Re:I Ditched Google for DuckDuckGo on Monday December 02, 2019 @05:23PM (#21687723)
I have been using duckduckgo for years now and Im very satisfied. On google a lot of the search results are ads so they are most of the time useless for me. With ducduckgo I always find what Im looking for and the things I search for dont come back to haunt me in the form of ads.I feel like I have a more "clean" experience of the web. If I do a search for a smartphone I will not have ads trying to sell it to me on every other website I visit afterwards.
They had namecoin for ages now.. but you need a browser extension to visit .bit domains in the browser
On android maybe you can use the android.hardware.camera2 package, it has a CameraDevice.StateCallback , with that you can receive updates about the state of the camera. Maybe someone can write a small app to get notifications when the state of the camera changes?

maybe the Chinese internet will have a single point of failure, the government? I think they will have a massive problem with ransomware if all servers are accessible with the same backdoor.
