Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein is well documented, but this part is not:
The newly released 175 pages from the first case against Jeffrey Epstein show, the young female witnesses were attacked and intimidated by the very prosecutors, whose job it was to protect them.
Why would that happen?
According to TYT — and this is mind-boggling — the lead prosecutor in the case, Alexander Acosta, moved on to a new, well-paid job in 2017…
… in the Trump administration.

Falls hier wer im Bereich Berlin / Potsdam / Brandenburg zufällig einen kleinen Sidequest für heute sucht: Eine gute Freundin hat einen schwarzen Turnbeutel mit Katzenmotiv (und zwei Paar Heels drin) im RE1 vergessen, der _wahrscheinlich_ gerade als RE 73780 dbf.finalrewind.org/map/2%7C%2… von Brandenburg nach Frankfurt(Oder) zuckelt.
Der Beutel sollte sich auf dieser Fahrt im hinteren Bereich (±2. Zweiersitz) des in Fahrtrichtung ersten Wagens in der Hutablage befinden. Einsammeln und zwecks Weiterleitung melden wäre super, denn Fedi könnte hier ggf. besser klappen als Fundservice.
Als Lohn gibt es ewige Dankbarkeit und (sofern man sich mal irgendwo begegnet) Bananenfranzbrötchen :3

Updated my search engine article to add information on Ghostery Private Search’s reliance on Brave Search. In my tests, all Ghostery results seem to come straight from Brave. Excerpt from my article (linked):
Ghostery’s own documentation at the time of writing is extremely misleading, using clever language that seems to heavily imply the use of an independent index and crawler while not saying so outright: Ghostery says it “gets you objective results from a unique search index” and that it will “crawl it’s [sic] search index.” Privacy claims require trust, and word games do little to build it.
A look at search engines with their own indexes
A cursory review of all the non-metasearch, indexing search engines I have been able to find.Seirdy’s Home
This is even more misleading than DDG saying it has “over 400 sources” (one source for organic link results, at least 399 for infoboxes) and its CEO claiming that it downranked Russian propaganda (Bing downranked it, and DDG doesn’t have permission to modify Bing results. DDG just took credit for it).
Oh, and there’s no such thing as an “unbiased” engine. If an engine tells you it’s unbiased, it’s straight-up lying.
The closest thing to an “unbiased” search engine is one with no result quality standards that ranks results randomly. Full of spam without any criteria, let alone bias, for “better” results. If you thought Google results were full of slop and SEO bait, you haven’t seen anything yet.
Hell, even that hypothetical “unbiased” engine would have emergent bias towards whoever has the most pages. Own your bias, both intentional and emergent.
They are all trying to run a "search service" on the cheap. They don't want to do the hard work of building their own index. Some claim they are but it's not a serious spidering.
Anyway, you know far more about this than I do. And it all seems like a dark pattern in the end.
@bradenslen They don’t have to build their own index if they can’t afford to (it costs tons of money, talent, and not-very-public knowledge on how to deal with spam and whatnot). They can just be honest and say where their results come from and what they offer that their sources/competitors don’t.
I honestly like DDG’s predictable infoboxes more than Bing/Google ones; if they leaned into that they could have a lot more users.
Decades after the first images from Mars rovers, I still can’t get over the fact that we have actual photos of landscapes, sunrises, skies, and formations from the surface of another fucking planet. Sci-fi creators have imagined the extraterrestrial landscapes for centuries, but NASA went out to see the real Martian surface (holy fucking shit) and it was gorgeous. I’m reminded of the “Holy Shit: Man walks on fucking moon” headline from The Onion.
Quote posting to add alt-text: various photos of a Martian landscape. It resembles a desert with large sand dunes. Soil colors range from brown dunes to reflective cracked orange flats below. The sky is a pale yellow-orange. In some images, parts of the Perseverance rover are visible.

in reply to GNOME • • •Maybe I'm a bit picky, but with Snowden and the latest databroker files (in Germany) in mind, I do not want to use YouTube / Google any more.
I know there are anonymizing Youtube proxys around, but google doesn't like them and sabotages them. ...
Is is possible that Gnome foundation / GUADEC uses an alternative streaming platform.
IIRC for example PeerTube also can handle live streams (with recording), too.
