“You had me up until the registration stuff. I had to register domains before google was founded.”
Oh no you didn’t. Domain Registration was so that Google could find it and index it by a text “name” rather than number IP address. To this day you do not need it for any other reason. I can set up a client/server and use a unique port and a unique URL scheme and be good to go legal and all. No need for domain names or Google indexing. But of course just like the old days of usenet it would not be indexed for search engines. So what? Use directories instead and screw all the Google inspired TLD controls.
“You “fight back” by lying about everything you enter on the web. Fake names. Fake information. Fake and throwaway identification verification.”
Unfortunately you are right. But it greatly bothers my morality that I have to become a liar to protect myself from their greed and control. Thankfully I do not have to. With the proper utilities and due diligence I can avoid 95% of it all.
But we should not have to do this either.
Yandex will work your anti-virus to death. It’s like the return of 2008 with viruses everywhere.
I’m going to back track on that. Industries and organizations were registering domains but it was not mandatory like it is now. The mandatory came as Google search was ramping up.
I don’t lie to people I know. I don’t know people on the internet.
They don’t need to know my birthday, address, or email address. That’s what I mean about lying on the internet. There is no morality involved with that stuff.
I understand. And what I mean is that they have put us in a position where we have to defend ourselves with false information. And it is because of their greed and monetizing our private data which also causes security issues for us. If they didn’t do that then we would not have to worry about our information and data being vulnerable. Therefore we would not have to provide false information to protect ourselves. It just bothers me morally that I have to falsify information to protect myself from their immoral greed when I should not have to.
i use brave
they separate the left and right results
two tabs
results from left
results from right
“they separate the left and right results”
Personally I don’t want anyone sorting anything at all for me. Give me all the raw data unsorted and me me sort it.
Putin Fanbois, in their onanistic worship of Putin, credit him with all sorts unlikely virtues.
Why even they would start talking up China is another question. Perhaps the fact that Putin is nearing the fortieth month of his "three day special military operation" in Ukraine is beginning, at least subconsciously, to take the bloom off his rose.
Google will use a few sites to get you an answer say like Wikipedia instead of the whole internet of sites.
Now wiki/google can make sure any question on who is the best president and their answer will be Joe Biden... instead of Donald Trump.
It will be like watching cbs, abc or nbc only.
You will never see the truth.
