Signal is psyop. Check their board members, current and previous job positions

For the most part it’s a business for them, and that’s what matters, they target Mac users because they are more likely to pay. If you need speed and customization there is neovim and Helix (Rust based). From users to users, no business interests here. Or VSCode just works for almost everyone.

Yandex

Nost as a protocol is way bettter. Nostr is BTC fanboyz place, unfortunately there is no content

The app is perfect.

I don’t. There are great storage solutions you can use: Wasabi s3 via rclone. Hetzer storage boxes. OVH and any cheap S3 storage via rclone.

Engineers did that. Zuck just saw no business advantage to keep it private. He agreed to open-source them to popularize whatever they build in Meta to make hiring engineers easier, since they already know whatever they use inside Meta

Can I use it from EU?

Can we get via Obtanium?

Luke + MO

I do like HoppScotch. Is there a reason why you may prefer Insomnia?

DDG uses bing and they filter results based on their biased opinion. Just give me results let me care about the rest! Brave has a limited index, plus not a huge fan of their crypto scam. StartPage gets results from Google and seems better than the above two. But Google itself filters results so not great. tbh, to get unfiltered great results try Yandex, they do have good index and seem no or less filtering. It would be great if SearX would provide a wrapper around Yandex, but AFAIK Yandex blocks bots and non-human interactions and it is hard to add SearX support. Kagi - I don’t want an extra subscription.

For now, I think SearX/Whooper instances are good enough

Looks interesting, they deserve attention. Maybe if they would be on Github would help a lot

Telegram

Private chats on Telegram seems to the middle ground
