That’s how I feel about Yandex lately. When it’s a struggle to find something on the common search engines, Yandex works like magic.

It’s not that Yandex is particularly better in any way, it just chooses to not filter the content one is looking for.


According to wikipedia.

Headquarters: Moscow, Russia


Genuine question, what is the concern about a Russian search engine?

Every argument I can think of is just worse with Google (spying, propaganda, censorship, security etc).


It depends on the region.

My neibhours never heard about the need to “denazify” us from Google’s home government.

War is much much worse than google. (Btw. Kagi is nice alternative, where you are the customer, not the product)

> what is the concern

Additional inteligence channel for their three letter agencies.

When somebody asks Yandex for data, decision making is done in such environment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_notable...

(such environment also suggests how accountable are the people requesting said data)

Plenty of people think Trump is "literally" Hitler... Maybe your neighbors don't think that, but plenty of people do.


Who is we and please enlighten me.

The rest of the world who aren't mainlining Russian propaganda.

One can see this effect also by observing an little flesh injury like a cut while staying awake. Even after 48h of staying awake the little cut will hardly have any healing and likely even more inflammation. One round of sleep and the healing is immediately there.

That makes me wonder if the slower healing of cuts/wounds one can observe on older people and some adults is simply due to them needing and spending less time sleeping.

Alternatively, the body's system for mandating sleep breaks down resulting in slower healing of cuts/wounds

Can it run WebVM inside WebVM?

it would seem that yes, you can?

If you can run an (allegedly) complete linux desktop environments that implies you can also run google chrome or firefox, and hence run WebVM.


It’s standard practice to let somebody else own your things when you are in a position that don’t allow you to have something. It’s not provable easily and if it’s justice to charge him 1.4B for talking some shit it’s also justice to use the loopholes of the system.

Can one not run a VPN locally instead of using the service?

Do you have another VPN service in mind that allows websocket connections?

Would it not be feasible to run a VPN/Proxy locally on the same machine but not in the browser and websocket the connection to WebVM? I don’t mean that WebVM should implement it, just asking if that would be an option if one doesn’t want to use the VPN service to connect to the internet.

Just change the tailscale IP to 127.0.0.1? Maybe I'm missing something.

It’s relieving that at least other branches of vaccine development are not under the information regime as with COVID.

“However, environmental bacteria complicate the picture. If present before vaccination, memory immune cells primed to destroy the environmental relatives might cross-react with and neutralize the BCG strain before it has a chance to set up an immune response against itself and M. tuberculosis.”

Nobody cared if one already had covid before administering the vaccine and since the vaccine came late many have had a previous infection already. The new mRNA vaccine utilities the body to produce the actual pathogen and with already existing immunity from a previous infection one’s immune system starts to attack the mRNA modified cells and pathogen product.


Previous COVID infection enhances immunity, creating what we call hybrid immunity. This happens because current vaccines mainly target the spike protein, while natural infection exposes the immune system to other parts of the virus.

New vaccines in development aim to include multiple proteins and improved delivery methods, which could lead to longer-lasting immunity. For now, hybrid immunity (infection plus vaccination) offers broader protection, while vaccines safely boost antibody levels without the risks of infection.


An infection exposes the immune system to the whole virus while the mRNA vaccine triggers the synthesis of the viral spike protein which would be a specific part of the virus. It can be called hybrid since it is a combination of a original and novel technique but the underlying immune system still deals with the invaders the same way and creates immunity against them. Naturally an infection would be temporary but with the mRNA technique it's a constant stream of spikes which the immune system attacks to the source. One of the issues here are the byproducts from the immune activity, especially dangerous if the mRNA dosen't stay around the injection area. Hybrid immunity without looking at the cons is not the full picture and seeing some counterpoints about vaccines was refreshing.

I would really love to see your peer reviewed study! Where was it published?

> One of the issues here are the byproducts from the immune activity, especially dangerous if the mRNA dosen't stay around the injection area.

mRNA doesn't stay in the injection area. Most of it ends up in the liver, and that was known since before the mRNA vaccine development.

That's also why the first mRNA gene therapies are targeting inheritable liver diseases.


I tried to hint at the issue of the jab getting into the bloodstream directly instead of the muscle, which can happen when no aspiration is applied.

Defending the jab in a Stockholm syndrome manner is getting quite boring by now.


Dude, get professional mental health help.

I can imagine that it gets boring really quickly to skim through random untitled YouTube uploads. Maybe back then when YT did have a weak filter and initially waved through the videos there could have been something worth finding.

Would be cool to see some statistics on how many videos over the years get removed with each new protection and censorship update. For example the latest medical disinformation campaign not only forces creators to avoid certain words completely, but also flagged and deleted pre-existing videos.

It’s sad and dangerous that any topic could get forbidden and erased not allowed to keep a history. The Internet Archive is unfortunately a target now and efforts are being taken to undermine it partly. It’s already a thing to have records deleted from the archive which should be the most worse thing when your whole concept is to archive.

I strongly suggest IA mirrors around the world in various countries with different legislations so that the censorship of each country is not reflected in the IA mirror of the other.


>It’s already a thing to have records deleted from the archive which should be the most worse thing when your whole concept is to archive.

IA doesn't delete archives, they merely make them inaccessible. Perhaps that's a distinction without a difference in the near-term, but it means things like copyrighted content will be republished after copyright expires.


This reminds me when EU banned some eye drops with the product name Proculin which have been very effective. The replacement Berberil is useless, literally no effect.

Proculin made your eyes white white constricting the blood vessels for hours. All the stoners had it in their pockets.

Since it constricted blood vessels one could use it also to reduce the local inflammation on pimples, which was a neat off label usage.


Where is China …which could demand access to the data of TikTok's U.S. consumers through Chinese national security laws… different to the USA in that context?
