    Lmao, a weird choice of a hill to die on. Although, given I’ve seen ppl refer to a user account as “he” exactly 0 times before that, I suspect the dev may speak smth like French natively, where everything is either male or female.

    That said, i’d rather use “it” instead of “they”, given an account (and anon one at that) is not a person.


  • Startpage is “cool” as long as you’re not using a proxy/VPN, and otherwise they tell you to GTFO (without an opportunity to complete a capcha or smth). Even more, they can tell you the very same thing if you’re sharing a connection with lots of ppl (e.g. a dorm or a public WiFi, probably). Finally, (heard it from surveillance report, but didn’t care to check myself since I’ve stopped using them 'cause of proxies long before) they don’t interact with journalists, and there’s not much known about their parent company
