Big search engines like Google track your activity and sell your data for ads — which is why a lot of us don’t search freely anymore. I’ll share a few alternatives I’ve found, and would love to hear what others are using too!

DuckDuckGo: Best for untracked searching
Startpage: Best for unprofiled browsing
MyAllSearch: Clean interface and an emphasis on user privacy.
Qwant: GDPR-protected searching
Startpage: Combines the top results of multiple engines, primarily Gigablast and Yandex.

How do you find sites that work without JS??? 

We need something like a search engine that only indexes non-JS-having sites, I think.

x7net - A New Anonymous Imageboard

Just launched a clean, minimalist imageboard that brings back the spirit 
of old-school internet culture. No captchas, no ads, no tracking - just 
simple anonymous posting like it should be.

Features:
• Real-time updates
• Image uploads (5MB max)
• Tripcodes for identity verification
• Greentext support
• Mobile-friendly
• Mod tools (pinning, closing threads, bans)

Currently running /g/ - General board for anything goes discussion.
And /ih/ - IRL Histories for tell happens, histories, greentexts and drama.

If you're tired of overmoderated, bloated platforms, give it a try.

wondering if anyone has access to the sample posted by those who breached discord a few days ago. it was posted in their telegram but i cant find neither the channel nor the sample anywhere.

interesting board https://truewows.com

I hate modern ai because of the base prompt bias and antisemitism detection to blue pill the whole thing. It makes results meaningless or unhelpful. 

I've tried running mistral 7b, llama 3.1 8b on my old cpu. too little inference. its so fucking slow I can make it write a antisemitic manifesto but it sounds like shit and takes 500ms per word.

What would be better is a decentralized AI platform with no user logs where AIs can run in memory with baseline zero prompt and the user decides what it wants it to say or not say. some libreAI shit. operating costs would simply make that impossible.

Currently for-profit organizations have the most processing power in ai. If Palantir can surveil me while simultaneously generating profit from israel and usa governments, I want the freedom to surveil Peter Thiel for free.

Why is it so dead? Why there are a lot of Russian boards? What is block bypass here? Never heard of such a thing before.

http://tululoo.com i wana get around this tool but  i am allergic to if else, * , just about alot of things, even vk key, on press... hown to rely on events only, _+/ to create a complete game, once like those on retails, simplified maybe like, gbc games retro commodores...etc
Basically a full,complete,game.
also maybe, lets you buy things for it, like, paypal idk. multiplayers...
Not much complete tutorial either for it or in other engines/maker. i imagine using objects but, i am not sure either.
