Eh Siri is no different really

Also if you block all cookies the website breaks too lol

Try captchas

On Android try NewPipe, but dont expect algorithm recommendations, just the main trending pages. Same for iOS use “unwatched”

Start with the basics:

• Harden SSH by only allowing public key authentication and use strong keys to authenticate instead of passwords.
• Setup fail2ban (lots of online resources, check Linode guides) to block malicious IPs temporarily.
• If the data you store is something only you should see, then it should not ever be connected to the internet, airgap wherever possible.
• And finally, keep your shit updated.

I dont understand why third party apps don’t work with reddit. If the official app can work fine, surely an app that mimics the official one with the API requests should work, no?

This is the issue though. I subscribed to chatgpt plus hoping it would do the work for me, but chatgpt (although it understands a lot) still fails to tell me what I need by ‘browsing the web’. I also tried every other known search engine out there but sadly the results are very similar (ddg, bing). So I feel like I’m trapped in a loop where I can’t get out.

Sadly this is how I feel too. Everything is trying to squeeze a dime out of my eyes. Man I don’t even buy shit unless I absolutely need it.

I think you can filter out Quora results using uBlock, but you need to Google it so, good luck haha

I’ve seen a few people mention exactly what you said, so either it’s Google A/B testing some dumb shit, or it’s because you haven’t been using Google the same way I have in the past. I don’t just look for information that is objective, few years back, Google was very good at providing links to articles with steps to do X. Nowadays it always redirects me to sites where words related to X are mentioned the most, rather than providing useful information.

This ain’t just Google. SEO effectively killed all search engines. As an IT guy who’s been googling shit before I was 10, I can’t find shit anymore.

If you’re on Android, try Instagram lite. Still works without ads.
