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
The gopher is hands down the best mascot of any programming language.
Rust's crab is a decent mascot, but doesn't compare to the humble gopher
Sure!
I used the integration to fill in the gaps I have in my personal collection. With tidal, I could start playing my own music and plexamp would just drop in some new songs for me.
It would create some playlists based on what I listened to, which again helped to discover new music.
I could just start using tidal, but that means turning my back on my personal collection. Or I could give up tidal, but that means losing the recommendations.
I'm asking here for help with the latter
This looks like a decent option. Do you know if they have an api? I can't find any info on the website
I already know what my friends listen to... Thats why I want computer recommendations!
Funkwhale would be good, but from my experience with it, it's a bit dead
But he was/is very articulate?
Don't forget his presidency came off the back of W. We were all sick of hearing gibberish from the president of the united states. Everyone was happy to have an articulate man in charge
