You think I care about your comment? I’m being bombed by Russian terrorists each day. Lol all I care about is to just live another day.

1. Yandex supports the Russian Terrorist regime.

2. Yandex News service ignores the genocide currently happening in Ukraine.

3. Yandex Search engine hides the pictures of Bucha and Irpin massacre as well as Kharkiv and Mariupol destruction.

Yandex using whitewashing tactics via open source.

It's already taken away.

They can protest, they can boycott, they can disagree, they can tell the truth.

But... They chose to obey.

It's the choice that matters.

Re:For some searches the whole screen on Google is now ads on Friday February 04, 2022 @06:40PM (#30215129)
It’s a band-aid. Just let Google slowly die, it’s already time when you should pull the plug – the patient is brain-dead for several years and there is no hope.

Use DuckDuckGo it’s a lot better with relevant search results and privacy friendly.

Re:CAPTCHAs don’t prove you’re human – they prove you’re American (2017) on Friday November 27, 2020 @04:48AM (#25227071)
CAPTCHAs don't work.

At least for humans. It's fairly easy to write a script with current technology even for an average "hacker" to solve them. But on the other hand it's extremely hard, nearly impossible for a person with special needs to complete them. Even for average person solving some of CAPTCHAs is a hassle.

Most of the popular CAPTCHAs services are "robot-friendly" and providers don't care who solves them, they just need data, they don't need to prove you're human.

Re:We can do better than DuckDuckGo on Tuesday November 17, 2020 @08:34PM (#25132170)
Drew in his blog post talking about DuckDuckGo privacy issues, but his commercial startup Sourcehut does not offer the Privacy basics:

1. Account deletion

2. GDPR data request

3. Option to unsubscribe from emails

So right now his blog reminds me one famous US politician Twitter account. Never fix your own problems, just blame others more often.

Re:X-Force Command Cyber Tactical Operations Center on Thursday February 20, 2020 @11:21AM (#22376141)
I can totally understand why they need a moving truck for their operation center.

It's a lot easier to find a fast working wifi when passing through all those coffee shops.
