@dheadshot Even if it was a criticism then we would welcome it, too few engines actually listen to the people who make use of their services! We're actually currently reviewing our provision of image search and this is a consideration for that. The real answer is that we have been focussed on our index/regular organic results for a while, adding images was done quickly, and due to requests from people using Mojeek. We've realised recently (from feedback) that we need to improve that offering.
Blocking Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon "more or less renders the modern web unusable" 😢
"[A] solid independent and private alternative to the big tech search engines ... it's probably the direct biggest rival to the Big Tech search engines that have their own crawlers." 🤭😊
Google has backed down massively. It is now signing deals with Australian news media to pay for their content. The Australian government, by refusing to give in to threats by Google, has created a worldwide precedent.

We have this interesting feature proposal for /e/OS: a second "panic" PIN code that can fully erase the device in case of emergency. It's been rejected by Google for Android.
Do you think we should implement it?

@amael Currently we don't have this functionality but we are discussing and looking into it.
Hello 👋
La majeure partie est incontestablement l’index. Nous allons continuer de nous concentrer sur l’exploration du web pour que nous puissions offrir une vraie alternative sans suivi, sans GAFAM.
De plus, nous avons une liste nommée ‘’great articles about Mojeek’ et vous êtes le prem. article en langue française inclus dedans!
Vous vous êtes dégooglisé, vous utilisez un moteur alternatif ? C’est bien, mais il y a de forte chance qu’il utilise les infras d’amazon, picore dans l’index de Microsoft, utilise de l’analytics de chez Google.
Il n’y a en pratique presque aucune alternative de moteur de recherche qui soit éthiquement irréprochable (ouai le mot est ptet fort).
Il existe cependant Mojeek.
J’ai fait un ptit article à son sujet 🔗 .
Voilà voilà :-)

At 2021-01-29 at 21:35 UTC Google suspended #Element from the Play Store without warning or notification.
Element is a generic chat app for connecting to the global Matrix communication network, just as Chrome is a generic web browser for connecting to the Web - and just as #Google does not control the content on the Web, Element does not control the content on #Matrix.
