I can see that the link you’ve given is the real website for ChatGPT, but when you’re referring someone to a page where someone can download an executable, you should show the link rather than saying “Click HERE to download”

I think the majority of people on Lemmy don’t want to be served an AI-generated feed about AI. Maybe try a more AI- or LLM-focused community?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What is the safest repository to an install application from on Android? GitHub or Fdroid?English
8·2 days agoIf you want F-droid’s moderation, you can still ensure the code is original to the developers by verifiying signatures with something like AppVerifier.

Technology@lemmy.world•Satellite Snooping Reveals Sensitive Unencrypted DataEnglish
15·5 days agoWhat confuses me is what they mean by “corporate VPN data containing unencrypted login details.” Unless the VPN server connects to the backend servers with unencrypted traffic through these satellites (which definitely should not happen) then this should not be possible.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a service you’ve been using forever that hasn’t enshitified?English
2·6 days agoTo create a redirect:
- Go to https://kagi.com/settings/redirects
- Click “Add Rule”
- In the bottom box, use the following format to create your redirect:
^https://original.domain.tld/|https://new.domain.tld/For example, to replace www.youtube.com with inv.nadeko.net (an Invidious instance), you can use the rule
^https://www.youtube.com/|https://inv.nadeko.net/I’ve also created a copy of this rule for any youtu.be results, as well as X/Twitter and Reddit for their respective frontends. This will work for any pair of websites if you can simply replace the domain in the URL and have it pull up the correct content on the alternative website.

61·7 days agoIt comes down to the fact that Kagi’s first priority in search is providing the best results, so they’re not going to turn down access to another search api based on politics.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•search engine megathread?English
3·14 days agoinvidious.io isn’t actually an instance of invidious. If you replace your rule with “^https://www.youtube.com/|https://inv.nadeko.net/” (or any other instance: https://docs.invidious.io/instances/), then it should work. For Redlib, I replace www.reddit.com with reddit.nerdvpn.de (although reddit often blocks redlib instances from being able to access their content).
An easy way to see if services can be redirected like this is to open a link (such as a video on youtube.com) in your browser and replace it with another domain. If it pulls up the correct content on the new domain, then such a rule can work.

13·15 days agoI also use Kagi. It has the option for AI but doesn’t shove it down your throat like other providers.
One feature I especially appreciate from Kagi are URL redirects. I can have it automatically replace parts of the URL from any search result. For example, I have YouTube results redirect to Invidious, and Reddit redirect to redlib, without me having to replace the domain myself


I just hope there will eventually be a solution that doesn’t require tired server owners to sift through registrations and posts all day.
