UnHidden , to Technology in Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email address

not yet, maybe they'll add it?

UnHidden OP , to Privacy in The Bitcoiners were wrong: a blog post about privacy and bitcoin, and how they failed to design a cash alternative

Monero doesn't have most of these problems...

UnHidden OP , to Technology in How do I block all meme communities on lemmy?

To me, the internet is a place to advertise my inventions, not look at memes.

UnHidden OP , to Privacy in We're building a search engine to compete with DuckDuckGo. No JS, no WASM, no spying. Just a statically generated results page.

That comment is there specifically to drive engagement up with all of the people correcting me in the comments.

the goal is to prevent competition, not promote it.

For now we're going to host on residential connections, and if any ISPs ban us, we'll just find other ISPs

Its about reducing attack surface and risk by minimizing dependencies

The frontend is pure HTML and CSS, you can see what its doing with inspect element, all network requests too

Our frontend is open, its just HTML and CSS, nothing proprietary client side, which would piss him off.

To answer your questions in order:

  • We have our own index, its not a shitshow of mixed results like Searx tends to be. this also means that we're not chasing breaking changes of some larger engine when they decide they dont want us, like Twitter did to Nitter, and Bing did to Searx.
  • We don't know how to monetize. Ads are the only option that we know of, donations do not work at all, as proven by my previous projects.
  • We've already got spam prevention and removal measures in place, but I won't discuss them.
  • We don't know how to scale it since its centralized by design and the frontend and backend are tightly integrated, largely because the frontend is largely generated on the fly by the backend. Maybe host a copy for each region we're aiming to acquire users from?
  • Our engine already understands 5 languages, and we hope to expand to CJK languages soon.

For anyone who asks, we will not open source, but we may offer a licensed self-hosted version for a small yearly fee (maybe $10-20).

I've open sourced everything I've made in the past, and all that's happened is someone with more money picks up my project, outcompetes me, and drives me out of business. I dont want our hard work going to waste.

UnHidden OP , to Privacy in I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy

Mailing lists are for old fat unix guys. Who uses email anymore? I can't even remember the last time I opened my inbox, maybe a month ago for a 2FA code?

I'll stick with GitHub because its what I know. If you don't want to use GitHub, then you can still view the spreadsheet, just dont click the GitHub or Datasets links in the fop left.

Status got a recommendation purely because it has proven itself to be resiliant to subpoenas and the cryptography is implemented well.

Nothing is sponsored, and no matter who I work for in the future, it won't impact the results. It's open source on GitHub, and I'm looking for contributors to decentralize control of the spreadsheets.

I have worked for Status in the past, but that has not impacted the review of any apps. The spreadsheet has been reviewed thoroughly by others in the privacy space before I published it, and I encourage everyone to take a look and report any inaccuracies.

The criteria is objective on purpose. Everything on the spreadsheet can be verified for accuracy.

You're not required to contribute. I went with GH because it doesn't require creating a new account on an obscure Git provider, which would kill the chwnces of anyone contributing.
