That was a very long article, so for anyone too lazy to click, here is the bit you’re probably interested in:

But enough of all that vomit-inducing background on the Proud Boys. I’ll leave you with this. For all their hatred of marginalized groups and especially in consideration of all the vicious transphobic and homophobic attacks by its founder, Gavin McInnes, I’m still trying to figure out how he so readily, and more importantly – easily slid a big black dildo up his own a**, live on his internet talk show? McInnes deemed the moment as “owning the libs.”

Said by someone who has clearly not travelled the world and tasted “white people” food

The only thing that really matters here is to find a bean you like the taste of. When you have that, you can’t really make a bad cup from it.

I think most of the techniques we read about in forums are for when you have a bean that is either OK or bad for you. At that point, you’ll appreciate the techniques to help elevate the coffee to something you find palatable

Not an endorsement, because I’ve never used it, but kagi is an alternative which I believe has it’s own index. It isn’t free though

There is also searxng which is more of a meta search that will post your query to a bunch of search engines at once

Not much of this makes sense. Maybe we don’t have an equal understanding of private. If thats the case, this discussion is going nowhere.

I will point out, though, that this is particularly nonsensical

Govts are only after Telegram because they can’t infiltrate the company, ask for data etc.

Telegram doesn’t use encryption. Everything is in clear text. Nobody needs a back door to get access. Not even governments. It’s all just out in the open

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. You start by agreeing that telegram is simply not private. Then you move on to implying that it must be, because the CEO got arrested?

How does that change the fact that it is, by your own assessment, not private?

To answer your question, the answer from my perspective is quite simple. Noncompliance. If telegram had complied to local laws, like the others have and continue to do, he would not have gotten in trouble.

I’m still confused about people who consider telegram a private chat.

It’s easy to verify for yourself that it isn’t, so how is this still going around?

Unpopular opinion: he’s pretty decent at it.

I’m not an asshole, so I don’t even think of committing the crimes he’s done, but I’m sure if I tried, I’d be in jail faster than a blink of an eye.

The fact that he’s managed to do this repeatedly over the course of decades, out in the open where everyone is aware of it, and still only getting a slap on the wrist?

I’d say he’s a pretty good crime guy

My gf used that when she migrated from Spotify to tidal. Worked quite well for that, but I’m not sure how it can work for recommendations though
