I went to set DDG on all my devices a few months ago because it was the "right" thing to do but expecting to get inferior results and needing to use the g bang a lot, surprisingly it turns out I never had to use it. Ordinary search has changed with the siloization of the internet: twitter, subreddits, stackow, github, official pages, all the big silos are easy to find and offer superior internal discovery, the fact that google might (or not) be better at ranking the long tail is losing relevance fast.

I'm not sure I'm buying it but the fact that Telegram is not an american company is a big plus over Signal

With real names, faces are just one google search away for most people (and we could debate further what would it mean if a face wasn't found).

Functionally the website would be a wasteland of white sameness without portraits, no way around that I think.

I'm not entirely convinced this service solves the linkedin pitfall of mingling jumphoppers racking up impressive paper stats and polluting the signal.

Very nice, but why so slow?

Right now chrome performance makes other browsers irrelevant. No amount of features would convince me to roll back to something that takes 5 full seconds to start.
