@dunesec @js ? The #ai summaries are opt-in in #xprivo search.
Are you talking about https://www.xprivo.com ? There you can use different LLMs all hosted in #europe
If we talk about European accessible AI, this is the closest we get: you can use #Mistral Small 3 without relying on #microsoft or #google
They’ve written about this in their blog: https://www.xprivo.com/blog/en/mistral-is-not-a-european-alternative/
xPrivo - Private AI Chat Assistant | Anonymous & Open Source

Privacy-first AI chat assistant with anonymous usage, no tracking, and complete data protection. Open-source alternative to ChatGPT. Free & secure generative AI.

@js forgotten to mention: xPrivo uses #staan the new European #searchindex developed by European Search Perspective. It’s one of a small number of search engines using it already, alongside #qwant and #ecosia

@js If you’re looking for a search engine, #xprivo Search is worth considering. It offers a fully #European-hosted experience, which is a great option for users who value keeping services and infrastructure in Europe. It also goes beyond standard search, with AI-powered search available as an optional feature alongside traditional results. That makes xPrivo a modern, flexible choice for anyone who wants #privacy European hosting, and a smarter way to search.

@Vivaldi absolutely right! I discovered that the tech you use, is a choice. Going deeper, I discovered that a solution is independent, open-source software. You guys are sort of independent but is there a reason why Vivaldi isnt open-source?
@dansup If you try to sign in (new account) on the Pixelfed app, I cannot choose another instance than pixelfed.social on iPhone iOS (26.2). Do I need to create an account on the website of the instance or will it be possible to choose an instance in the app?

@disorderlyf #roblox approach looks better to me: roblox is accessible for everyone but if you want to have the functionality to chat with people, you have to verify your age. Currently they do that by making a picture of your face and AI will decide whether you’re old enough or not. The government could make a rule that these pictures are not stored, sold or any of this bad stuff.

Do you think that this is a good way to not invade people’s privacy while keeping children safeR online?

@disorderlyf I predict that age verification will go global in some form. How Discord is currently handling age verification, has a upside and a downside. You already mentioned the downsides: #privacy , #freespeech and #databreaches

What I think that is good about Discord’s approach, is that the company handles to keep children safe on their platform. This way we don’t need #chatcontrol by our government. Discord is going too far by setting verification for the full platform though.

@osman adguard always worked
@osman I’ve used adguard in the past but which one do you recommend. One thing I don’t like about adguard has is origin in a country that is now in war.
@osman the turn on toggle is grey and I can’t click on it
