companies like google also discover zero-day hacks. i'm sure they would never use them. (/sarcasm)
not gemini(protocol) .
not lynx .
more private than using google directly
if not using searx to accomplish the same thing..

not private.. but a drop-in replacement if you ever need to use google search
health insurance companies (in effect), murder thousands of people every year. one CEO is murdered and they make a big fuss.
i saw another news piece that reported extremely dangerous inmates being incorrectly mixed with regular inmates and an unknown max amount of deaths resulting.

seems like it might be useful for immediate response to a heart attack (to extend time to reach services).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerin_%28medication%29 is typically used. but people don't generally have that available to them when they experience a time-sensitive emergency.
tldr quotes: the expectation was.."The bodies will be examined, dismantled as necessary for donation or scientific purposes, possibly save current or future lives, and contribute meaningfully to societal understanding of anatomy and disease.
"Federal prosecutors indicted Cedric Lodge * for allegedly stealing, marketing, and selling body parts from corpses donated to Harvard. *"
"Superior Court Judge Kenneth Salinger wrote in his decision last year, the suits did not prove that Harvard failed to act in good faith in receiving or handling the donated bodies or that they are legally responsible for Lodge’s * actions."
and we wonder why the USA has a tendency toward anti-science.
magic schoolbus FTW
other ai services do too. u might not realize it.
when people say searx, i want to know.. is it duckduckgo or google or both?
looks cool. but it uses wolfram.. https://www.wolfram.com/legal/privacy/wolfram
and also collects analytics by default.
regardless of what a privacy policy says.. it's too tempting for AI companies not to use user input in non-direct ways. i wouldn't trust any AI company and probably not even the host.

private intelligence companies the new spymasters
In a world awash with digital data, private intelligence companies now compete with state agencies, turning everyone into potential spies and transforming the age-old craft of espionage into a high-stakes technological arms race.
"At the same time, daily life relies more than ever on digital technology: more things run on software (fridges, cars, phones), those things have a greater array of sensors (GPS receivers and radio transmitters) and they are increasingly connected, often over the internet, allowing data, often embodying our most personal secrets, to flow to and fro. The paradox of the modern world is that, while we have more means to keep our data secret, there is so much more data to contend with and so many more places from where it can seep out into the world, where a sprawling ecosystem of private intelligence can collect, analyse and use it."
criminals launder money via real estate
Revelations come amid federal government push for additional scrutiny of sector through counter-terror financing and money-laundering laws
AUS makes it easy for criminals to launder money through real estate
in some cases.. "concealing illicit money flows as rental income, and investing illicit cash into property improvement activities,"
the AUS government fails to prevent this. "The state’s real estate laws have not been updated in the almost decade since that ruling."
use of real estate for money laundering continues to be a problem all over the world. speculation over worth makes it attractive to criminals and hard to detect.
governments should not allow housing to be a collectible asset traded by criminals.

Restaurants sue to keep $18 AZ minimum wage measure off the November ballot
The Arizona Restaurant Association is suing to block a ballot initiative that would raise the state’s minimum wage to $18, claiming the union-backed group behind it failed to gather enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot.
The political committee Raise the Wage AZ has been gathering signatures for a ballot measure called the “One Fair Wage Act” since November 2022. The measure would raise the state minimum wage from $14.35 to $18 per hour, then increase it annually to address inflation.

article: The Significant Corporate Importance & Pressure Around Mesa Open-Source Linux 3D Drivers
"The most recent example is a now-merged merge request to revert an earlier change bumping the Zlib dependency for Mesa. The basis for that revert is that it breaks SPECViewPerf."
"Due to Mesa dynamically linking Zlib and how SPECViewPerf is handled, the update happens to break SPECViewPerf that is a popular benchmark for workstation graphics and one commonly used by hardware vendors and other stakeholders. Ultimately it's an issue with how SPECViewPerf is setup as an application bug but it could also be argued that Mesa could statically link it or better handle its dependencies. In any event, it's a regression for Mesa and breaks SPECViewPerf. And SPECViewPerf is important to vendors.
So the immediate solution that's now been merged is to revert that Zlib update commit..."
"They think it's a technical issue. It's not. It's a political and strategic issue for the Mesa community. If you prevent something from working that the industry finds

investigation into electric toothbrush paste
tldr: "When I first bought an electric toothbrush on the advice of a dentist in January 2000, its instructions had a clear warning not to use any toothpaste that contained a whitening agent, because this can damage enamel when used with an electric brush."
