but the difference between DDG and startpage is that DDG allows connections through Tor and VPN, while startpage doesn’t. isn’t it suspicious ?

you do realise gpt 3.5 turbo is still just chatgpt right ?

I’m pretty sure the bots on DDG don’t have internet access, just try asking a question about anything that happened very recently (e.g. last week) and they won’t be able to answer.

they could’ve made it optional, then if someone wanted to, they could opt in. there are also open source models like llama and mistral which they can run on their own hardware. but that would probably be too expensive for DDG

wasn’t it bought by an advertising company?

but they claim to not to save the chat and that it won’t be used for training

this was the perfect opportunity to integrate it with search like bard and ms copilot… but no, they will just offer them just like that, with hallucinations and all. claude 1.2 instant and gpt 3.5 turbo are not even that good

if you search “Free VPN” on playstore, turboVPN is ranked higher than proton

Edit: and I see its reviews are also negative, probably because of the connection issues (I’ve been having the issue too, takes a long time to connect if it even does

personally I think revolt is a better alternative.

may I ask why didn’t you just switch to qbittorrent? is there a feature that utorrent has but qbit doesn’t?

but what’s the alternative? mastodon is quite different, I’ve tried many times but always give up
