A bunch of atoms that are curious about the world, but furious about the society. We should help all humans to have a decent life without any strings attached, so that we can understand us, the atoms, and the rest of the universe. And create a smarter and saner society.
Since 2005 I make documentaries, write books, and enable many trade-free platforms for everyone.

@sic_semper_tyrannis Oh nice! I’ll have a deeper look. Thx
@TheDarkBanana87 As far as I know they have been bought by an ad-company en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startpag… - but SearX supports Startpage too. Just without the BS. I cannot trust any company honestly. They are incentivized to kinda lie and exaggerate. And search engines ran by companies…are terrible. If their business model is to sell you ads, they will track you one way or another, and if not today, they will do it next year.
Searx does not share users’ IP addresses or search history with the search engines from which it gathers results.
- read more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx and see the source code here github.com/searxng/searxng
@squid I use it daily. We ran an instance too. It is simply great. As good as Google, DDG, and the like are, since it is using them.
@squid True…Harder now to add a custom search engine unless you visit it and then click the url on top to get a dropdown to add it…but manually adding it is hard.
Speaking of search engines I highly recommend searx.neocities.org/ - it randomly uses the best Searx instances. No ads, no tracking…
@Canadian_Cabinet www.tromjaro.com/ - you can try our distro. Based on Manjaro it has all you need to just use it. Enabled the Chaotic AUR repos, flatpaks, and our repo, thus you can find any linux app via one single place. Click and install. Plus we have a list of some 700 curated apps on our website www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - apps that are trade-free. Meaning no BS, no freemiums, no limitations, purely free apps.
We made TROMjaro back in 2018 and kept it up to date since, plus developed our own tools like a Layout and Theme Switcher. See the homepage to get a more detailed idea about it.
That’s all! :)
