- Comment on Meta threatens to pull Facebook and Instagram from the European market 2 years ago:
I don't think it is a threat. Facebook just rather cut Europe off than to give judicial advantages that could work elsewhere in the world. If the Terms of Service are more pro-user in Europe, everyone else in the world would want that too.
Facebook just doesn't have the market value to threaten anybody. It's just software, and there are alternatives out there. Europe could just migrate to vk, minds or diaspora.

Nice, paving the way for free information on Lemmy. I hope Sci-Hub will be fine too.

- Comment on What are the best internet search engines? 2 years ago:
Searx and Gigablast are FOSS. I find gigablast is good when you want to find location based stuff, but searx works well too. If you want location based (your location) things or to buy something at a price, duckduckgo and google are still the best. Searx will sometimes pull weird results, even though the results are different from instance to instance (Searx got many instances). It is worth mentioning that searx and gigablast got no ads, but duckduckgo ads aren’t very invasive as other search engines.
I use searx for most things, but I do have to switch to google or duckduckgo for some things, something that didn’t happen with duckduckgo.

- Comment on Open source maintainer hits out at corporate freeloaders 2 years ago:
What you are saying is fine, until this:
"What's referred to as the open source sustainability problem has played out on a large scale where companies like Amazon have been accused of co-opting open source projects to stifle smaller competitors like Elasticsearch and MongoDB."
Companies are using open source to end smaller companies. There should be protection, practical and written, against that. At least the smaller companies should be the ones benefitting from it.
