not to be the umpteenth person whining about enshittification (which is both real and bad, but also talked about a lot) but i just logged onto uquiz. UQUIZ! and they're starting a new site-wide premium paywall, where you now have to pay for advanced features on a...silly quiz-making site. who did that. who even. can i...krill...them

i LOVE (and find extremely relatable) that the very first thing i saw on your website was "fuck you"

man i am not as On It as you (i think i'm one of those who believes it might be too late for me; i didn't have the know-how growing up to get a good start on privacy protection) but it is so so refreshing to see someone who Cares. like. yes. shit is bad. and i may have a different way about it (blogging about shit, art, yelling) but i do often feel alone because i don't see anyone who kinda. gets it. and you get it

I reallt appreciate the compliement. A lot of what I write about is a life-long learning experience. I sometimes come across new and exciting ideas in DIY, survivalism, and digital privacy I want to implement and need to write about. But I do not think it is too late for anyone to learn and impliment these ideas. It is a labor of love. I hope you well and best wishes to all of your privacy ventures.

You're doing what you can, when you can. I'm already happy you're trying. Thank you for looking at my little site! I love the bits of your gallery that's already there and your photography!

okay lol so i guess i'm switching browsers!! wow. thank you wraith. honestly the only reason i was using google atp was because it was just. what i had always been using. it came with my being a zillenial or whatever tf. y'know. and then i tried ecosia but even though i loved the concept the results on there are trash. so thank you for the duck rec. i will try that!!
i personally use the search engine "start page" which takes search results from google but has no ai summary. searxng is another search engine with no ai summary
thank you lakes
