Great idea, but unfortunately technicalities won't get me marks.

Oh, I haven't handed it in yet. We were supposed to write our own methods.

You guys just need time, I think. I'll probably be a proud Mojeek user in the future, but for now I need something a bit different. That said, I have found Mojeek to be excellent for finding smaller blogs and articles that I wouldn't otherwise have read, so it's still pretty useful even if I don't use it as my main engine.

I cover my webcams, I have almost entirely de-Googled (since they've been attacking Invidious, I've had to resort to watching the videos on YT if they aren't on PeerTube or Floatplane or whatever), I use Linux and BSD, I am planning to switch to GrapheneOS at some point, and I try to avoid software and services from countries with problematic governments (e.g. China, Russia, USA). I am also using local software, with data sychronised via SyncThing (currently just my notes and passwords, but the list is growing).

I also use Mullvad Browser when available, and either Brave or Epiphany when it isn't.

I am still on the lookout for a decent search engine, though, as all of the ones I've used are either not as private as I thought (e.g. Ecosia, Qwant), or are broken (e.g. LibreY), or did something I disagreed with (e.g. DuckDuckGo, Brave Search), or are hostile towards VPN/Tor users (e.g. Startpage), or didn't have good enough indexes (e.g. Mojeek), or became unavailable to me (e.g. Peekier, MetaGer).

Why can't we have anything nice?

I thought it best to just let people enjoy the cute birds.

If I have to use sudo, it's wrong.

I swear, if I hear about another openly queer (and also non-TERF) person opposing DIY HRT in the current sociopolitical climate, I am going to owe my landlord for minor property damages.

i.e. I am going to bang my head against a wall until I break through to the other side.

I am a terrible person. /srs
