There is already gridcoin which is a cryptocurrency that awards boinc work, so I'd say this concern has already been addressed because of that.

cock.li but it doesn't encrypt your inbox so keep that in mind.

xpra: it is like tmux but for X windows (works on wayland), but it can do much more than that. You can seamlessly run GUI programs from a container or VM on your main desktop while still sandboxing their X capabilities, forward windows from Windows desktops, and it has efficient encoding so it is usable over poor connections as well.

At least on my phone, rebooting also makes it require PIN

For those who don't remember, not only could signal be used for SMS, it used to be able to do encrypted sms convos.

Unfortunately, its not clear if masks actually stop facial recognition. I think it helps, but not probably not as well as it did before covid.

I don't think tar is actually hard, we are just in the time where we externalize more information into resources such as Google. Its the same reason why younger people don't remember routes by name or cardinal direction as much anymore.

side note: $ tldr is much better than man for just getting common stuff done.

Yes and no. decentralization is great for a lot of reasons but it does come with downsides. I don't know about you, but i convinced my family and friends to use and keep Signal for years now and i don't think i would have had such luck with Matrix/Element, let alone a p2p app.

I'm glad decentralized options exist and think they deserve more funding and love, however.

Depending on what you're doing, Local LLM can help a bit. Like if i want a recipe for an apple pie i could use LLaMA-2 to find out even without an internet connection.

Not saying its a replacement for a search engine, i just think its worth mentioning.

(edit for grammar)

On one hand they are incentivized to not f-over their users. On the other hand, because you need a paid account it wouldn't be as private as SearXNG-over-Tor or whatever.

Hey, I'm currently stretched pretty thin on projects so it will be quite some time before i'm able to port it, however I appreciate the interest. If you or anyone you know is willing to port it, i would appreciate help.

I was partly inspiried by this extension for chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keyboard-privacy/aoeboeflhhnobfjkafamelopfeojdohk

However I am not sure if it is open source and i don't think its maintained anymore. It is a good starting point regardless.
