I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

This allows something like “computer show me every citizen that has posted negative comments towards the current mayor, order it by the amount of comments theyve posted, cite where they work, who their parents are, what people does there phone gps spend the most time around, and include any cctv and amazon ring footage that detects their face using facial recognition, create a separate folder of footage from any bar and club they’ve been to, search every nsfw website/subreddit/onlyfans for footage of them.”
And now you have a neatly organized collection of all the people that oppose the mayor with potential blackmail and who to send it to one by one until your demands of only praising the great cop mayor is met (as an example)

What phone do you hve? What computer? What shoes? What milk do you buy? Ads dont work by showing up and making you go buy it like a drone. You see the ads a thousand times and then you start believing its better than other products

It says piracy not privacy. But also, we have privacy communities on lemmy which is fully indexed by google and all search engines making it technically less private than discord?

The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou...
The rationale is if you make a specific population you don’t like extremely likely to get felonies due to scenarios you place them in you can prevent millions of people from voting. It’s one of many ways the US creates second class citizens and cheap (basically free) labor. Wildfires in California are fought by people in prison, products are made by them too.
The US loves cheap/free (slave) labor and removing the chance to vote and change these unjust laws benefits the oppressors much like preventing enslaved people from learning to read

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?
