I use Vivaldi, european and against the AI (and also crypto) hype

It is, look in the “Video” tab, the landing page is only the presentation of the features and tools it has, if you want to use it as your video host. You can search and watch the videos in this link https://alugha.com/all

A lot of things have gone wrong since than

Maybe in two years you can enjoy an stable release, stay dreaming.

Use EU soft and services, there you have controllable privacy and user rights by law.

I use mostly EU search engines without AI (Startpage, Metager, Mojeek…)

A good way to force the user to use by Google controlled devices and to download Google services for more control by Google. Also a good way that the user show the middle finger to Google, using alternatives.

Google can track you even if you don’t use any of it’s services or products. Beginning with half the websites in internet, most from the US, use googleanalytics, google-tagmanager and sending data to Alphabet, adding information from Cloudflare and also mobile data, among others. Not so easy to avoid Google, less using YT, only possible to avoid the worst spying. One measure is to use EU apps and services insted of those from the US.

I always used Bandcamp as mainsource to listen music of my favorite bands (if present). For general background music mostly https://www.internet-radio.com/ or https://www.radio.net/genre (genre specific channels, 24/7)

I’m aware of Mesh nets, also about grid communication (using the electric net), back to the paleolitic Finger protocol.

I know these as cardboard case, but certainly with some treatment to make it more resistant.

If you need a Chat use the anonymous https://securebit.chat/, showing the middle finger to control initiatives.

I saw Punchcards in my military service and in the payroll office in my job later.

I remeber times where a 5¹/₄ cardboard floppy was enough for all my documents and apps.

Until now a military drone, but maybe in the near future also for civil surveillance and use in the US

Never was only for targeted ads, because of the lack of a privacy right policy in the US, your data is open for everyone, also for gov and security agencies. All your data in these services are owned by these. Even when you cancel your account, your data remain there forever.

Agree, but the problem are not random pages. As you said, if you need to access the page for administrative or professional reasons, you are pretty fucked up.

On repressive policy

Yes, like the MAGA hats

Surveillance cams next year (autonomous with Grok AI)
