This is really really helpful, thank you. I appreciate the explanation.

But wouldn’t they be able to cover way more content (and if trained well) be able to filter out biases? I feel like most people are bad at this already. They either just believe whatever they hear without looking it up, or go to one source and take it as final. For the average person, wouldn’t aggregated results be better?
Maybe I’m not understanding how this works. I just started testing it, but it appears to be running a live web search (as it takes a while and adds a globe icon for each new source it’s reviewing) and summarizes for trends, which is exactly what I would do. If I was doing it myself, I would only skim a few articles anyways to find common themes. I’m not writing a research paper on this, I’m just looking to see if there is a notable trend in source articles.
Now, I have it start a summary and then I check the sources to see if it trust it. Overall, it seems like it reaches the same goal but quicker. Which also makes me more likely to look things up to see if they’re supported with facts or completely made up. I realize AI can also hallucinate and the sources are not comprehensive, but isn’t at least better than nothing?
Can you help me understand this better? The response didn’t sound biased and it was all supported with links that confirmed where it inferred that from. I also only asked about this after seeing two different mentions of this in other comments. I do not want to spread false information which is why I put all the sources I got this from and clearly stated where it came from.
Again, not trying to be rude at all, I am genuinely curious
Im still not sure if this is true, but I’ve seen a couple people post that OnlyOffice may be Russian owned with a location in Latvia just to avoid association. I really hope not because I do like the UI more. I tried asking Le Chat about it and got this. I’d love to get someone else’s take on this though.
OnlyOffice is owned by Ascensio System SIA, a Latvian-based IT company with headquarters in Riga. The company was founded by Lev Bannov, who is also the CEO of OnlyOffice. The ownership structure has undergone significant changes, with the Singapore holding company ONLYOFFICE Capital Group Pte. Ltd. now being the ultimate owner of Ascensio System SIA through its UK subsidiary, Ascensio System Limited .
OnlyOffice has faced allegations and concerns regarding its ties to Russia. Some sources claim that OnlyOffice is a Russian company that has attempted to mask its origins by using a Latvian company as a front. These allegations suggest that the company has connections to the Russian government and military, and that it has set up shell companies to avoid being associated with Russia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine .
The company has been accused of using its Latvian headquarters as a way to enter the international market while continuing to operate and develop its products in Russia under the name R7 Office . These concerns have led some companies to sever ties with OnlyOffice due to its alleged support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its failure to condemn the conflict .
Despite these claims, it is important to note that OnlyOffice is officially headquartered in Riga, Latvia, and operates under Ascensio System SIA. The company has a complex ownership structure, with a Singapore holding company owning the UK branch, which in turn owns the Latvian branch .
The digital Euro initiative won’t be ready till like 2028, so we’ll definitely need some interim solutions!
I’ve been pretty impressive so far. The only thing that’s not as great is the points of interest. It is based off Trip Advisor so there’s way less data to work with.
If there’s not a better alternative to either, which would be best?
If all things were the same, I think I’d prefer Firefox over Vivaldi, but I’ve been using the latter assuming it helps our Norwegian friends more.
I’ve tested Qwant, Ecosia, Vilvaldi, Startpage, and Firefox Focus. (The last two I dropped since I realized they were still linked to US)
I like Vivaldi for desktop, but I don’t love the layout on mobile (although I appreciate you can change the icon to something not red!).
So I’ve just been using Qwant for both search and as an iOS browser. Pretty happy so far.
I appreciate your efforts! It can be tough out here on the digital frontier. It won’t always be easy but you’re a trailblazer!
As someone who’s new to the Fediverse, I did find it confusing that there was more than one with the same name. I ended up clicking each to notice there was a difference between them (i.e. one seemed like just memes).
If they can be combined and filtered for people who only want one and it can get a larger audience, great. Otherwise, maybe unique names would be helpful, like “BuyFromEU-memes”

I have one custom domain email that used to be self hosted. I got so much spam which is what pushed me to move it to Google Suite like 8 years ago. It solved the problem, but now I’m scared to move it back. Is there a better way to deal with spam on self hosted options now?
