That is what I mean, it’s a difference between an AI with robbed content in its knowledge/lenguage base and an AI assistant which only search iformation in the web to answer, linking to the corresponding pages. Way more intelligent and ethic use of an AI.

Yes, AI arrived to stay, that is fact, also soon there will be a unified global AI (see Stargat Project) which will make obsolet all other LLM. A $500 Billon project. The only thing we can do is to use it in the most intelligent way, avoiding it will be impossible.

Another reason why I use Andi, because it don¡t gut copyright content to the own knowledge base, it’s is a search assistant, not a chatbot like others, it search by the concept and give a direct answer to your question, listing also the links of the sources and pages where it found the answers. It’s LLM is only made to “understand” (to call it something) your question to search pages que contain information about it and to understand the content to be capable to summarize it. There isn’t third party or copyright content in the LLM. It’s knowledge is real time web content like any other search engine. Even in it’s (reduced) chat capabilities, always show the sources where it found it’s answers.

Traditional search works with keywords, listing thousends of pages where appears this keyword, that means that 99% of the list has nothing to do with what you are looking for, this is the reason why AI searches give a better result, but not Chatbots, which search the answers in a own knowledge base and invent answers if not.

I still prefer Andisearch over all others, it was rhe first AI search long before all other were released, with own LLM not a copy from others.

Yes, but although Scira uses WA for information, WA’s PP is irrelevant, since the analytics point this to Scira and not to you, same as any other source Scira may use. It is only important if you visit the WA page. In any case, I use Scira only occasionally in the Web Panel, I almost exclusively use Andisearch with the best PP of all AI search engines, which also has WA among its sources, but apart from that, it always uses a random proxy with sandboxed results for searches, apart one of the most accurate.

The only thing I can say, it’s always better to use Bluesky instead of the Musk or Zuckerbot crap, not more. It’s not really descentralized, because all instances are depending on one company, they are not independent like Mastodon, Lemmy or other Fediverse sites.

Android IS a Linux Distro, but the lack is, that the serial Android is full of Google APIs and other company crap. Because of this there are some degoogled forks out there which you can use

I still prefer Andisearch, it’s Lightyears better and the most private of all other AI, but it’s not OpenSource. From 2 devs which also hate Google and abusive big companies.

I’m far left wing, but it’s my philosophy, it don’t exclude the respect and tolerance to others (to certain limits). This is what is really important, a unique truth don’t exist.

I don’t think so, there is a lot of very different opinions but all debatables. The only thing which, at least in the instances in my Timeline, are far right wing or faschist users.

The best alternative to Instacrap IS Pixelfed, decentralized and federated

I’d rather lick my elbow before creating an account on this shit, but sometimes you come across links to certain posts on this site that require you to view them.

I know what is a front-end, but not really needed if you want to use it only to see the content to stay private. Posting on any Zuckebot crap no front-end will protect you. Use a VPN and a good ad/tracking blocker, eg. uBO, so you don’t need a third party app to visit pages of Big Brother companies, which also can log your data and add more fingerprint data as before.

I prefer to use alternatives instead of front ends for Instacrap, eg. Pixelfed (OpenSource, federated and decentralized)

Maybe, but it’s always good to have several alternatives which can be used. The other difference is, Protected Text is is a good and valid option but only freeware proprietary, not OpenSource

Well, any Chromium, for Geckos it’s still in development. You can register your mail here to stay informed https://tally.so/r/wa2AMq

Seems so. Always search, compare and if you find which best fits your needs, use it.

Anyway I think that a Webcam cover should be a default on webcams, not only for privacy, but also for th same reason why Cams and binoculars have caps by default, to protect the lens. If you use a tape, to avoid glue on the lens, you can cover the intern part which is over the lens with a piece of paper

For this the best AV (100% proof)

(A piece of tape also works fine)

Netsurf use the WebView render, it’s also used by Edge as part of the OS and Chromium. Text browser have a way simpler engine, because they don’t need a graphic engine to render an webpage. The current engines in modern browsers are 3 and some variations, Goanna is a modified Gecko, and WebView, Qt, are Blink variants, Link was an improvement from WebKit and KHTML. Before there was Presto which is obsolete since a lot of years. The other day I saw an startup , I forgot the name, which was collecting support for a new brwser with an independent engine developed from scratch, they talked about an alpha release in 2027. First I thought to put it in jokes, but better comenting it with “Good luck, guys”. In the Wiki is a list with over 70 abandoned and discontinued browser and browserprojects, a lot which also tried to make a different engine, even most of the existing browsers (~100) are fighting to survive in a saturated market. No chance to think in different engines as the existing ones.
