Is this something like Radicle?

This is a candidate for the IgNobel Prize 🙃

Which ones?

Does anyone know or even use https://particl.io/marketplace?

Mesh networks maybe? I’m not sure what you’re looking for.

I have been using Feeder for a while and it’s great imo.

If communities can create their own money, they’d be loosing a lot of central power.

Maybe this helps: https://searx.github.io/searx/user/search_syntax.html

It still has limited features compared to DDG, and it has a different syntax.

Don’t !bangs work in Searx either? At least in searx.ebnar.xyz they do.

Use Librewolf and Tor 😉

My 2 cents :-)

Yes, that’s one solution for a specific use case (-:

Nothing and no one is ever infallible. What I say is that the web as we know it is broken in that it has become a walled garden controllled by a few companies. And, yes, a lot of web3 doesn’t appear to change that, it’s just old wine in new bottles. We needed to discuss alternatives to different use case (payment and currency systems, how we monetize apps and other products, data hosting and sharing,. …). Energy efficiency and affordability are important issues, but I want to have choice and don’t want to become dependent on 5 or so companies in whatever I do. If that means that I have to pay, I’d be fine with that.

What dies “better” mean? If everything is stored on a single server owned by this one company in Mountain View or so, is it better then?

Tor doesn’t seem to help here if I got it right, because the data traffic is assigned to your phone number.

Does blockchain solve the double-spending problem? Can crypto currencies help devs (and possibly other creators) to monetize apps and other products?

I agree that blockchain is a solution to only a few problems, but can’t this be said about all technologies?

The author seems to implicitly suggest to keep up the status quo and ignores the potential of a new tech (yes, there is also much empty hype around). Blockchain may or may not live up its potential, but this depends on the decision we as humans make rather than on the technology imho.

I don’t know what to do with this article. It’s just a sequence os simplified examples. But that’s just my two cents.

Thanks for this. I know Whoogle, but never heard of ANDI. I will definitely look into this.

Yes, I do use sync and resist fingerprinting.I know it’s not perfect and has downsides, but for my use case it works. One of my next project is self- hosted searx engine and then comes Nextcloud. That’ll be tough as I am a finance person but a self-taught coder :-))

I’m happy with Librewolf, it’s good to have choice :-))
