That’s a problem with your network or phone’s.

I’m pretty sure the LW admins explained why they didn’t upgrade to 0.19.5 and that they were waiting for 0.19.6.

Are you implying that world won’t update? You’d be wrong.

The upcoming v20.0 lemmy release should fix remote moderators not receiving almost all of the reports.

Then I’ll be able to moderate !asklemmy@lemmy.world actively from my programmings.dev account and finally abandon this account for the time being.

Using ASCII in URLs is simple and is less error prone than “supporting” unicode via percent encoding. It is also just a convention to use ASCII for usernames in many platforms. ASCII is also supported out of the box in major OSes while some unicode characters might not. What about impersonation? And what about people trying to type in the username of someone that uses unicode? It is not logical to use unicode in this case.

Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

You won’t get non latin usernames anytime soon. But you can change the display name using non latin charactets

Yeah, tell them that when they were trying to deanonymize tor users

No. It’s for privacy. If they don’t support anonymous payments, there’s literally no reason to host a .onion site just to fool people. I’d say that’s a big red flag from a “privacy respecting” company.

Yeah who cares. They got caught tracking and that is still a fact.

Surprised that happened. Very rare to see that these days.

Alright. You do you, pal.

That strikes me as a terrible idea given what some people search on the web. I have also never run a TOR exit node.

It is somewhat like a TOR exit node indeed. Though you can easily prove your innocence by saying that you did not make these searches but that you merely run a meta search engine that helps others protect their privacy. Even the TOR project has templates for exit nodes to submit them to the government or whoever is contacting them in those cases.

The instance’s IP

SearXNG is a meta search engine, which means it gets the search results from other search engines (Google, Bing, Qwant, etc.) and show them to you. It acts a proxy, thus hiding the users IP. This means Google can’t target ads based on your IP and also can’t make a profile about you.

I am not so sure about that. DDG has been caught tracking before. I wouldn’t trust them. They are also getting into AI bs.

I do wonder why anyone would use Edge on Linux. I even wonder why anyone would even use Edge. Btw DDG uses Bing so you use the same search engine.

5 euros a month for 300 searches. Definitely not worth it. I live in germany.

I refuse to believe Proton when they do advertisements lol. They also are being pretty suspicious with ignoring XMR support since years of people requesting it. If they ever even considered it a bit, their new shit Proton Wallet wouldn’t allow you to store (or only store) bitcoin, which we all know has nothing that protects your privacy.

Why not run an SearXNG instance and help everyone instead? Y’know, Kagi is pretty expensive and they are also getting into AI shit.
