Telegram’s backend is proprietary software and they (very similarly to Discord for example) can just decide to read your chats whenever they want. It’s even worse then WhatsApp in this sense (at least as long as you trust Facebook that they actually encrypt your chats, again, there is no way to know if it’s proprietary software).

Just stop using the spyware ones?

I know you probably don’t wanna hear it, but just use one of the Bing wrappers like DuckDuckGo. There is no reason to use Bing in 2023 anyways.

I’d just just use youtube-dl honestly

I just don’t understand why Valve doesn’t reintroduce the Arcade Pass.

Valhalla seems to be running quite well (I haven’t played it myself though) and I personally don’t think it’s gonna go on sale for much less for the summer sale, but who knows.

You can move around and change your “home” server at will

How does that work? I know that it’s an option on Mastodon, but from what I understand, this is yet to be implemented into Lemmy.

Edit: spelling

Exklusiv. SearX ist eine meta search engine, was bedeutet, das die Ergebnisse von anderen Suchmaschinen mit eigenem Index (wie Google, Bing etc.) kommen, die man einzeln an- oder abschalten kann und das natürlich anonymisiert. Google bekommt also keine Daten von mir und ich bekomme trotzdem hochwertige Ergebnisse.

SearXNG, self-hosted auf meinem home server. Ich muss somit niemandem vertrauen, dass der angebliche Datenschutz auch eingehalten wird (was sowieso ein Witz ist, wenn es sich nicht um FOSS handelt).

Awesome :)
