Well said, I agree with you. The politics/debates can be so intense that it can prevent Lemmy from being a place where people go to just relax and switch off. Even the meme communities have so much political content.

And I suppose it’s only going to intensify during the U.S. election later this year.

    Just wanted to say that I found the description of your job really interesting, so thanks for taking the time to write about it.

    There’s absolutely no way that I could do it - I’m far too squeamish. But I’m glad that there are people who can do a job like this, which increases mankind’s understanding of diseases.

    I don’t think this should be downvoted. Brave Search is one of the very few search engines that is building its own index.

    DuckDuckGo and Startpage are both great, however DDG uses results from Bing and Startpage uses results from Google.

    We need proper competition against these big tech giants, and Brave Search is one of the few alternatives which is attempting to provide it. Mojeek is another search engine which uses its own index.

    Can I ask why you’ve taken this approach? I understand why you would use AdGuard at home, but couldn’t you just also use it on your phone/laptop as well when you are away?

    Wouldn’t using the VPN to your home network just add extra latency? Or is there some benefit that I’m not aware of?
