someday ago I saw this website about privacy and anonymity that had links to other websites, it had something to do with the durian fruit, the website was something like “durian network”, I cant find it, literally, I cant remember the developer’s name or anything that could help me find this website, it also had a link to...

I want to mainly use it for privacy over its “security”. I don’t know what makes everyone fine with running it on fucking google pixels.

I was born in 2002 and wasn’t really much exposed to the internet until 2012. I saw my older brother and sister watching YouTube on my Dad’s laptop in 2007 with a (presumably ethernet) cable, but I’m sure they weren’t using dial-up, and I think most people had abandoned it by that time....

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor’s voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no...

I’ve read many posts asking users to download Firefox but when a noob like me goes to google play store, it shows Firefox collects user activity, location and other data but for Brave it says that Brave doesn’t collect any data or share any data. A company like google must do a thorough investigation before putting an app of...
