US tech industry hurt itself in confusion

US Big Tech is loyal, first and foremost, to mammon. Pulling out of a single war torn country isn’t so bad. Pulling out of a rich and highly developed market, with over half a billion consumers, and many globally leading corporations, that will hurt in a different way.

Saying the NSDAP was democratically elected to power is a perpetuating a fascist lie. The NSDAP was always using undemocratic methods, such as political violence and voter intimidation, and finally, outright banning and persecuting political opponents and entire political parties. That is not being elected more or less democratically.

If you have been taught bad history, then enlighten yourself, rather than continuing to give fascists false legitimacy.

Hahah, that’s fair!

That sounds like how most of us would use it, though. Normal, subjective opinions can be really helpful, and a mini-review doesn’t really need anything more than that. :)

I agree. But that’s why I was wondering why you were singling out Yandex in particular, when Kagi also sources from questionable US companies.

To me, they’re all equally problematic.

In that case, something like njal.la is probably your best bet.

I think this deserves:

“jUsT uSe cHaTgPt.” -iT

If you’re up for it, I’d absolutely love a mini-review/comparison, at the end of your evaluation. Or, not-so-mini, if you feel like it. Post it on Lemmy, perhaps (and remember to ping me!). :)

At this point, I don’t see why that is any worse than using the services of any US-based Big Tech companies. They have the same kind of anti-privacy business model, their local political regimes have both gone off the rails, and law enforcement and intelligence agencies can legally or extra-judicially snoop through collected data without the user ever knowing.

Some of the services provided by Yandex are, quality-wise, decent enough. I personally tend to find their translation service to be as good or better, as compared to similar services, such as Google Translate or DeepL, so it’s usually my API of choice through Mohzi.

Yo, I got syntax highlighting up in my nano!
