    I use DDG and if the result is not what I’m looking for, I add !g to forward the query to Google.

    80% of the times, I need to add !g because DDG is clueless.

    I wish I could say otherwise but Google search results are still better overall than DDG.

    Sure, for some specific thematics, DDG will do better. But that’s for quite niche subjects.

    Very surprised to see people talk about DDG like it’s at the same level or better than Google.






  • Carrière exemplaire - Traite une victime de viol de pute

    Mais oui il devait clairement être exemplaire par le passé c’est sûr.

    Quelle drôle d’idée de penser qu’il pourrait avoir été un gros mysogine dans son travail de policier.

    Le mec est assermenté il peut même pas se retenir d’insulter une victime.

    Et puis l’article qui insiste pour faire écho au pleurnichage du policier ça me rend dingue. Et la vraie victime qui s’est fait insulter par le policier qui devait l’aider ? Déso ?

    I understand that critic.

    That being said, I really have never visited a country where race is mentioned as frequently as in the US.

    In many European countries I have visited it just didn’t seem relevant.

    Sometimes it’s not just a cliché or a prejudice against a nation, it’s just how it is.

    I have no doubt at least that the peculiar history of the US has shaped the way racial discourse is prevalent or not in that society.

    Would you agree that race is more commonly talked about in the US than in the rest of the world?

    I think it’s pointless to ask on Lemmy for an accurate depiction of the importance of race in the american society. You may say it’s too reductive but I think it’s a more productive conversation than your comment. I would much rather have someone politely argue and explain that I’m wrong rather than calling my comment “almost pointless” and basically presenting it as some outlandish and prejudiced caricature of the US.

    The “your comment is too reductive and therefore is pointless” could probably be applied to every posts in there. Just saying.

    Basically, the US obsessing about race but refusing to face it’s history with blanket word bans that are frowned upon no matter the context.

    The US is clearly not facing their slavery past and instead avoiding the difficult and deeply disturbing vocabulary associated with it.

    IMHO there is nothing wrong with the N word used in an history lesson. On the contrary, I think it’s especially important to show younger generations how evil some our ancestors were.

    And I say that as a french guy living in a city that was extremely important during the slave trade. We know what our ancestors did, we are not proud of it, we don’t feel responsible for it but we do make sure it’s not forgotten.











  • I’m not speaking of this project in particular.

    Just saying, just because something is open source doesn’t mean it has no vulnerability or backdoor in it’s code.

    There is plenty of example of vulnerabilities that existed for years in major open source projects. And there is definitely people that discover some zero day and straight up sell them and stay quiet.

    If you look at some of the businesses in the market of zero day vulns you can see what they offer for good vulns.

    Who cares if the NSA uses it. Or if they say they use it. They gain nothing in saying they use a specific product. But that’s a good way to encourage others to use it. I certainly wouldn’t trust the NSA on anything they say publicly.

    You can backdoor a product just for you and still release it so other people you might be interested in will give you cool data. In cryptography this is not really an issue to have backdoors that only some people can use.
