OCaml enjoyers anyone? ๐Ÿซ

 

If I want to read https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/19/post-american-world-is-now-full-display/, I have to use archive.vn which allows me to go past the paywall (https://archive.vn/yTP0x). However, archive.vn is still proprietary so I installed ArchiveBox which is free software but does not go past the paywall. Does anyone have any solutions?

DDG is a search engine run on AWS, so it's not very private. It's better to use Qwant (a French search engine that has its own dedicated servers), or, if you can, YaCy which is a peer-to-peer search engine.

If you don't use your smartphone often, just buy a PinePhone.

The irony of it all. I think Chinese policies have won: cyber-sovereignty, state-owned enterprises, state-backed digital currencies; every industrial bloc is at some point going to adopt Chinese policies because they're afraid of losing power and control and because the PRC is so powerful.

At least Qwant is under European internet laws like GDPR, which is why I prefer it to DDG. I think it also uses its own servers while DDG uses AWS.
