Yes Odysee is also used by right wings, same as YT or others, In Odysee you find all kind of content and political spectrum. It remain in the same, Bandcamp is for music the best alternative also fair with the creators, it’s a good measure to listen most content for free and a optional paid download of tracks or the whole disk, not given in YT. There you can only legal download an video with an premium account and where the money goes to YT, not to the artist as in Bandcaamp. I only hope that the EU offers more alternatives to YT, but until now there is no other as using the less evil alternative and Bandcamp and Odysee are.

I search the Video with Andi and watch it there in the search result.

You don’t need Premium anyway. For the cost of an YT Premium account you can use Netflix, Rakuten or any other paid streaming service with less money, or even for free in PlutoTV, or channels of public TV of every country, where you can watch movies, documentals, Series, etc for free, without ads. The greed and policy of YT will be its end sooner or later. Ads always can be avoided, uBO, even uBO Lite, Adguard and several others are working fine in YT.

Maybe in the future, until now not a real alternative by content. For users which want to watch music vids of their favorite band or vids from prefered science channels, movies, etc. it’s not an valid alternative, nor for authors which want to monetize their content. Last prefer Bandcamp, Vimeo, Odysee and other.

There are more and more creators which are uploading their content to Odysee (OpenSource), there they also can monetize their content but without ads and other Google crap. Maybe the best alternative to YT.

Really? OpenAI and Deepseek used are from Google, that meaans also, even if it is installed locally it also act online, same as other searches. You can’t run an complex LLM only locally in a crappy PC, what you run is an desktop client of the LLM, don’t confuse it.

Naturally the first question is, how they make money. There are several options how they can do it. There are mainly two manners, the ethical and the unetical way. The unethical way is, to recive money from several companies to push determinated results, SEO positionings, to profile the user, selling private data to advertising companies…, or the ethical way which don’t compromete the user privacy, offering an paid pro version, contextual ads, revenue by some shops when the user buy something using the service…

Andi’s business model

https://andisearch.com/business/

Excluding of business models apps and services fom non-lucrative organizacions and hobby projects, good example of the last is the SSuite, made by two electricians which gain their money with the owned electric workshop, nothing to do with programming.

Yes, but if you don’t have a big server for an decent LLM, it’s more private, but notmore reliable as the paleolitic MS Clippy. Andi is currently the most reliable and private AI, made by a small startup pissed of the big corporations and the surveillance, the reason why are the first which want to use the AI for searches long before any other, with an own independent LLM, centerd in reliable sources and answers, contrasted in several sources. In change to others it don’t invent nothing, if it find an answer it offers an traditional websearch. All anonym, with random proxie, no logs, no tracking, no ads, no coolies, no limits, no account. Eg. permits to watch YT videos in the search result, without ads, as said, works even as YT front end,which other search engine can do this? Try it, I use it now since more than 3 years and as said, I don’t regret it.

The only AI which I use is Andi, because it’s the only one really usefull, private and anonym I found until now. Search contents don’t appears even in your browser history.

The amount of steganographic cat memes is growing rapidly on the web.

Better Odysee

Short answer: Yes

No, simply don’t us the computer as nanny, educate your childs to the correct and safe use of the network. You can add, if you want, SwissCows as search engine, which is Familysafe by design, apart of private. Also possible to block NSFW sites on DNS level. But this isn’t the question here, it’s about some assholes in the Goverment which want absolute control over the information the people see in the web, apart to monitor their activity, even reading your mail (what Google already does).

Are not the US citizen a joke, you can not blame people who were educated in ignorance by the Governments, more in the fear of God than in the lack of reasoning capacity in a pseudo-democracy. Living in abubble and helpless in shock, when they visit Europe, seeing what means living safe and protected, with rights they even didn’t know that they exist. This is only sad, we make fun of your crappy fascist system and the current pedo-nazi asshole of president, not the people which don’t know it better.

Naturally is a problem of the parents and of nobody else, but the childrens are only an excuse of legislators to impose control, the only reason. If not the children than are crimes or terrorism to justify surveillance. More fascist an gov, more censorship, more biased information and less privacy is supported, it’s an axiom, the best citizen is an ignorant and submissive one. “First they banned childs from porn sites, than they banned anonym access to Wikipedia and VPN…” recipe how to cook a frog

Repeating history by the same assholes to kill the free and open internet and information.

Librewolf is Gecko and Brave has a big team and a lot of money, sponsored by Facebook and some crypto companies., even so the Brave chromium version is behind of the current from Chrome. There is an blogpost from one of the Vivaldi devs, explaining the work to make and maintain a Chromium fork

https://yngve.vivaldi.net/sooo-you-say-you-want-to-maintain-a-chromium-fork/

Yes, but Chromium is a good example, it’s 100% FOSS, but not recommend to use it before “checking three times” to strip out all the Google tracking APIs and other profiling crap (ungoogling it), but this need a big effort by the browser companies, which have to do it on every new release, so their versions are always behind the one from Chrome or others which use Chromium as is. I don’t see an advantage that big corporations develope OpenSource incorporating their crap, when later devs have more work with forking it than with independent releases.

The FOSS movement was created from the collaborative efforts of hobbyists, and through shared interest in the same goal (avoiding the restrictions of existing software), it will further grow and develop.

Agree with this 100%, the problem is that nowadays half of the FOSS isn’t made by hobbyists, but by big corporations, most Google and M$, which invalid great part of the FOSS philosophy. In great part of OpenSource services which request an account, you see an Pop-up, offering to log in with Google or even Facebook. Currently it’s sadly mandatory to check three times FOSS before using it, FOSS was nice until this datahogs discovered it as cheap source for their products, not more reliable as any proprietary soft from small startups, even less. Not a good sign for an free internet.
