Peace be with you 🌹 I know, and dont worry, this time I typing without AI.😁 The Things is “to undestand” is easy for me, but speaking an writing?.. There a lot of problems, like the past and present rules. When I translated a word exactly how its use on german, its sound weird in english. So I use the AI, to help me, and so you can better undestand me. But believe it or not, this english , is my “good” english😂😂. Couple years ago , it was much worser, but i starting to watch Supernatural on English with german subtitels. That helps me a lot. And i swear by God, this time I dont use an AI. So what you think? Is my english bad or not?😁.

The funny thing, I really use an AI for translation because my English on its own sucks. 😂 So you are right. Peace be with you 🌹😁

Peace be with you 🌹. I could really feel that this sentence came straight from the heart 😂😂. Jokes aside, same here✋🏻😐. I hate them too.

Peace be with you. 🌹So, I’ve been doing without Google for over a year now and use Mojeek. It takes some getting used to, and isn’t as good as well-known search engines, but it’s 100% free from Google and Bing. It has is own crawler and index.

Peace be upon you. To your question: Yes and no. I find it harmless, almost even creative, when beautiful music mixes are made, or when one of my favorite actors says something funny. But at the same time, it’s very dangerous. And by the way, this is a threat to all voice actors and dubbing professionals. I come from Germany, where dubbing is really important. In any case, it has pros and cons. It depends on who uses it. Actually I don’t blame the AI itself, but rather the people who misuse it.

You are welcome☺️

Ah, okay, phew! That’s a relief… and Sorry again😅

AHHH! Now i get it. Yes. Im really sorry, but yes. I know that “Trick” 😅 But, even in Invidious i am more the “classic” searching type, with titel 😊

I’m really sorry. Unfortunately, I don’t know what you mean by ‘ID’, as I usually don’t deal with IDs 😅. I normally just go to Invidious.io, select an instance there, and enter regular search terms to watch a video, just like on the real YouTube channel. That’s it.

Thx for comment. So, for Youtube Videos, i using the invidious.io instanz, with the Tor Browser and LibreWolf. Hope, that helps.

Im Glad to help😊

You’re welcome 😊

That’s cool. I’m still new to the privacy community, so I only share things I’ve learned. But this is really helpful.

First of all, huge respect. I never thought I’d meet someone who has done all this too. I completely share your views on Google and other corporations, they abuse their power and have long crossed ethical boundaries.

I definitely have a few alternatives to share with you. I use the Proton ecosystem, including their email services, their VPN and their AI, Lumo. I stopped using ChatGPT due to Microsoft’s involvement.

In uBlock Origin, under “My filters”, I’ve blocked some of the most important Google services:

||googleapis.com^$important ||gstatic.com^$important ||google-analytics.com^$important ||googletagmanager.com^$important ||www.google.com^$important ||youtube.com^$important ||ytimg.com^$important ||googlevideo.com^$important ||googlesyndication.com^$important ||doubleclick.net^$important ||googleadservices.com^$important ||googleads.g.doubleclick.net^$important ||pagead2.googlesyndication.com^$important ||fonts.gstatic.com^$important ||apis.google.com^$important

Some websites might look visually broken, but they remain usable

For YouTube, I use Invidious instances via the Tor Browser. This gives me much more anonymity.

Also, I’m planning to buy a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS (Murena). A system switch on my current Samsung A53 isn’t really possible, but the Fairphone seems built specifically for these kinds of open systems. I’m excited to see how it works.

And again: Respect! 🙌
