Peace be with you, folks.

I really hope Firefox keeps its promise and doesn’t remove uBlock. This browser is built on Gecko, it stands on its own, and it should act like it, too. To hell with Google and Bing.

Hello. That connection thing is cool. So I have no experience with meta-search engines. I gave up on Brave after I learned that it’s hosted on AWS. My only search engine is Mojeek because it’s not hosted on big tech like, Azure AWS, or Google Cloud.

Thank you for getting back to me. 🌹 I truly believe that many people feel this way. Tragic things happen in life. Believe me, I speak from experience too. Sometimes we walk a certain path, and something terrible happens to us. We wonder, ‘Why did this happen?’ But we’ll never know what would have happened if we had chosen the other path. Perhaps something terrible had to occur to protect us from something even worse. I know this might sound like making excuses sometimes, but I genuinely believe this. And there have been small incidents where I felt this was confirmed.

The fact that you believe God would not love you is, to me, a sign that you still believe in Him😊 and that is something good. Whatever you have experienced in life, or whatever you are going through right now, I wish you strength and all the best. I hope that soon everything will turn around for the better. I will pray for you. I know this sounds clichéd, but I truly mean it. You can always reach out to me whenever you want. Peace be with you. 🕊️🌹

Peace be upon you!🌹

I come from Germany, and at my school, we had English and Turkish. Since you’re about to start learning German, I’ll give you a little heads-up. Watch out for: „der, die, das"! 😂😂😂 Even real Germans sometimes struggle with getting it right!

The USA has just on article „THE" but Germany has three. The positiv thing : Many words in German sound exactly the same like “Hello = Hallo” so that makes things a bit easier.

Good luck with your studies! 😊😊

Peace be upon you. 🌹 As one of those religious people, I can simply say: “No.” 😁

We deeply religious people (whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or others) simply believe that everything happens through God’s will. However, this does not mean that free will doesn’t exist. You will be rewarded solely for your hard work, Inshallah, because that is your own merit.

You should just keep in mind that the phrase “you should thank God for giving you so much strength” is actually a compliment. It means “God loves you”

Of course, it also depends on how the person expresses this words 😅, but it is something beautiful.

Peace be upon you all🌹🌹🌹

👏

😂😂😂Peace be upon you. Thats awesome!!

Peace be with you. You are absolutely right. In my early days of exploring “privacy,” I signed up for Reddit because I thought it was independent, but I was truly wrong. Google and Reddit actually have a deal that lets Google train its AI on user posts. It’s wild that Reddit would allow that. I deleted my account immediately. But, im really happy to find a plattform like lemmy.

♥️☺️That’s really nice to hear. I feel very welcome.

Thanks for explaining! Honestly, I’m not familiar with political labels like ‘left’ or ‘liberal’. I actually had to look them up before replying 😅. So I’m not sure where I fit in.

For me, data privacy is just about being practical and ethical. I hate it when big corps like Google use my data for things I can’t control, like military projects. It makes me angry, when they turn a tiny mosquito into a weapon. I see that happening with AI too. I’m against that.

I don’t know if that makes me ‘left’ or 'liberal’😅. My goal on forums like Lemmy is simply to find like-minded people, who share this ethical approach and to make friends there😊. Thats it.

I’m glad I could give you hope for the future. But that is based on reciprocity as well. I am new to Lemmy and really didn’t expect to be welcomed so warmly☺️. Your comments and the appreciation have truly made me happy. Thank you for that🌹.Peace be upon you all.

♥️♥️♥️

Wow… That is touching. My eyes are filling with tears right now. Thank you 🌹🌹.

I can understand how you feel. Therefore, your comment moved me deeply. I am truly glad to find people on Lemmy who think exactly like I do. That means a lot to me. Thanks again. And as the saying goes, hope is the last thing to die ☺️☺️☺️.

Thank you for being great. Ireland appreciates you.

☺️ That’s so sweet. Thank you very much. That really means a lot to me 🌹

😂 You deserve respect for that! Give me a few weeks on Lemmy and I’ll hopefully be a full member of the negativity club by then! 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Ahh, okay. Jetzt habe ich es verstanden. Ich danke dir. Ich nehme die korrektur sofort vor, danke🌹🌹

Ah, got it. Thanks for sharing that with me. Honestly, I’ve mostly been looking at Fairphone because I felt it was better than the alternatives. Plus, there was something nostalgic about being able to pop the battery out from the back, just like old phones. At the end of the day, what really matters to me is a de-Googled system like Murena. But yeah, having a nice-looking phone wouldn’t hurt either. Thanks again!

I swear to God, I thought the same thing at first. “This is actually an insult to all addicts” - But I couldn’t think of another way to phrase it, because let’s be honest, Google is addicted to metadata, so it fits. And youre welcome. I’m always open to advice. Thanks again! 🌹
