Since DuckDuckGo has decided to regionalize all my search results even when no region is selected (why?!? 😩),
Making my work impossible (I don't spend my day writing about Canada DuckDuckGo! 🙄),
I have started to use @Mojeek Search Engine and I must say that it is a real joy. I find what I'm looking for much quicker, no patronizing regionalization based on IP, and no AI pollution. It feels like I found back the 2010s web and I'm here for it.
Thank you Mojeek 💚

Privacy Guides' Program Director @Jonah Aragon :MN: gave an amazing speech last night in our weekly livestream!
It's a truly moving speech,
and an incredibly important statement in our current troubled times.
Fighting for privacy rights is a battle for human rights. Nobody lives in a vacuum.
We must build our communities to fight collectively 💛✊
Please watch it:

Today is Data Privacy Day 🔒✨
On this day, remember that privacy isn't some luxury we can live without.
Privacy is a fundamental right that
is essential to safety, to community, to freedom of speech, and to democracy.
Authoritarians are trying to
undermine our privacy rights because they are well aware of this. Do not let them ✊
This year, let's fight for our privacy rights like we never did before. So many of our other human rights depend on it 🔒💚

I've solved about 20 traffic photo Captchas so far and I'm still getting new ones to solve.

Conversely to popular CEOs' beliefs,
my job would actually be much easier if AI-generated shenanigans wouldn't exist at all.

I despise how security updates are
bundled with feature updates.
Now we have to choose between risking getting malware from random criminal gangs when refusing to update, or getting embedded malware from the tech company itself that comes with their update.
And honestly at this point, I'm not sure which is worse.

By producing content on a platform you are encouraging others to stay on that platform.
Think about this responsibility seriously.
Recipes are just eatable food memes.
Americans, and especially Minnesotans,
the world will be rooting for you tomorrow 💚
