Where to get media from, when every platform invades customers privacy even if you are willing to pay and when buying doesn't mean owning anymore?
Seems like piracy is the only answer here...
I switched to Kagi since Febuary and couldn't be more satisfied - it's a pleasure to pay for Kagi, will never go back to anything else. By far the greatest search engine I've ever used. Many many great features, even many quite acurate AI ones.
Keep in mind that this in only my personal opinion and experience as there are also other voices you should be aware of.
Some critics:

In the end its all about you trusting the company or not. For me Kagi delivers what I'm paying for and gets my trust ragarding privacy.
Keep in mind that Germany (where Tuta is based) is part of the 14-eyes alliance though...
Signal has the possibility to use its own notification service if Google Play Services are not recognized on install. It runs a background service that might consume more battery. In general:
Notifications can be e2e encrypted by the apps that send them - at least on Android (guess same for iOS). Proton does that.
However, there are reports of American agencies using their surveillance network to combine all notification data to create connections between them. That way they are able to tell who sends a message to whom (by matching exact timestamps) - even if content may be encrypted.
Just use selfhosted Bitwarden :)
I use ThumbKey, a keyboard which does not depend on predicting keys and words but on new layout. It solves the initial issue the QWERTY layout has on mobiles, as it is not meant for being used there.
Takes a week to get used to, but after that you'll be typing at speeds that seemed impossible before. I use the 'split' layout for my language - cannot recommend enough!
Same here, changed notificatons mode to 'periodically'. Otherwise it uses an insane amount of battery power.
https://posthog.com is a popular alternative. Also found https://plausible.io on the web.
Both are open source and privacy friendly - Posthog is paid per use, Plausible as abo with monthly or yearly billing.
Cannot give feedbeck for Clicky or Piwik...
Kagis leadership does not seem to be interested in privacy at all!
Kagi has a Discord server in which things are said by their founder like: "People that need anonymity [which is his word for what we understand under privacy] are very rare [...] there are only about 100 of them on earth".
Asking him about privacy, answers are always 'trust me bro' like or he says he wouldn't now.
Been a huge Kagi fan but after reading this blog post, I don't trust them anymore at all...
** Kagi doesn't care about privacy? **
Excellent deep dive into Kagi containing much new (disappointing) information you normally don't hear about (from their discord)...
As I see Kagi being recommended as #privacy search engine this will definetly be interesting for those who use it because of privacy reasons (like me).
Finding #privacy respecting search engines is a nightmare! It's a real journey but now I don't know where to go next...
Which search engine do you use / prefer?
Been using paid Kagi for a few months now. Experience is awesome - never heard something negative about it. Today I read the post below and I do understand the critism regarding Kagi.
Been too naive - how could an American AI search engine be so privacy respecting as they praise in their policy?

Highly depends on your threat model and what you are using email for. Using email for actual communication, besides creating accounts or reaching out for a random customer support, is a big mistake in my opinion.
For me it's only about escaping data scraping (regarding email). I can rely on Proton regarding security without having to worry about any new backdoors or whatever that I would have to maintain/fix. They don't sell my data to bigtech companies even if the gov might get access in special cases (at least I think so). So why shouldn't I use Proton?
Will be flexing that self written code is smarter than AI generated one š
Yuka is based on this project:
https://world.openfoodfacts.org/
There is an open source app similar to yuka called smooth:
https://github.com/openfoodfacts/smooth-app
It is available on Fdroid and works also via Obtanium
At least that is what I found on the web
Congratulations, really strong to escape from the Apple prison. Welcome to the better side ;)
There is a difference between programmer and programmer. Those that are actually skilled won't be replaced in difference to those that copy their code together with GitHub. AI cannot generate truly new things or concepts. It can only work with what already exists, created through human creativity.
In future AI will help talented programmers to be more efficient. Hopefully that will brinl annoying debugging to a whole new level.
