I have tried Uruky, it is nowhere near as polished or good as Kagi, but at least it is european.

If the search index gets better, I could consider it. But at the moment the european search engines and the european search index it uses are not good enough for daily use, at least for me.

10€/mo for unlimited searches is a bit too high. They could lower the price by selling the AI features under an additional subscription.

There is also an ongoing effort to implement GNU Taler support in LiberaPay.

In the article they just say they have a new AI policy and that they will identify 100% AI generated music and label them accordingly, without stating how they will identify such music. “Wholly” and “100%” are emphasized, by the way. So I guess they will still allow music that is 99% AI generated.

See my comment to read the full article text, I extracted it.

For anyone that can’t read the article:

Title: We’re For Real

Tidal’s introducing a new AI policy to protect artists and their fans. June 29, 2026 by Tony Gervino

Tidal is not here to bash technological advancement, with today’s launch of our AI policy. Let’s make that clear. We understand how advances in technology offer myriad options for artists who want to better understand their fans’ behavior, build new tools for recording and engineering their music, and automate their workflow. Hell, they can even build their own instruments.

It’s already proven valuable for the purposes of time-saving and cost-saving, and has aided people that may need a nudge to get over a creative roadblock. After all, who are we to tell an artist that they can’t experiment? (That’s a rhetorical question.)

Fact is, it becomes more difficult every day to maintain the human connection between authentic artists and authentic fans — which is the pathway toward creating economic empowerment in an industry where it is increasingly difficult to do so.

However …

Those examples we just cited are not why we’re establishing guardrails. Rather, it’s because our inboxes (and your world, we’re assuming) are inundated with music that is created completely AI-generated and impersonating existing artists purely for financial gain.

We are committed to protecting and rewarding organic creativity to avoid compromising an artist’s ability to connect with and build their fandom from Tidal subscribers. Many have told us they do not want to be exposed to — or prompted to listen to — wholly AI-generated music.

So we are making today’s announcement with the understanding that it is a living document and we will continue to evolve as the advancements in technology warrant.

Regardless of what you are reading elsewhere, AI’s takeover of the music industry (and your recommendations) isn’t inevitable if we take even greater steps now to monitor and control it.

Because Tidal is committed today and every day to fight for artists’ rights. That was a day-one promise that will not change.

Here are the highlights of our new AI policy, which goes into effect on July 15:

Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an “AI” badge next to music we detect as wholly AI-generated.

Tidal will not tolerate AI-generated music that impersonates an artist or group, or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We’re implementing automatic tools to remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.

Tidal will not allow music that is 100% AI-generated to be monetized. No royalties will go to such releases, nor will AI-generated uploads be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.

We will update Tidal’s AI policy as the technology continues to evolve.

my private repo is filled with “stuff”, “more stuff”, “new stuff”, “changes” commits.

Which app is that?

What I started last year is contributing to OpenStreetMap via StreetComplete. It makes it extremely easy to contribute. Just go on a walk and occassionally pull your phone out and wander around to find the places that need more info.

no it seems to be kde plasma

This forum in particular already displays how you can.

See this for example: !announcements@forum.unfinishedprojects.net

Debian or Fedora

I personally go with Fedora Server with automatic security updates.

Switzerland has GNU Taler setup. But only a few shops support it atm.

https://taler-ops.ch/

Here’s a map showing the shops that allow it%: https://map.taler-ops.ch/

It’s an interface bug though. SmartTube uses its own interface and why would it even be affected by the YouTube web interface?

yes. commit hashes. fixed the title.

Just go with Codeberg.org then.

You can move your repos elsewhere sometime later if you want to.

Do you want a list of Forgejo instances in general or specifically ones that have this experimental federation enabled?

you’ll be experiencing problems soon. I recommend you switch to something else, like summit.

sync dev abandoned the project and ran away with the subscription money without any notice

Read my comment again.

They are also working on ActivityPub support, so different Forgejo instances can communicate with each other.

They are working on it. They haven’t enabled it yet. And afaik the only thing that works atm is favorite count.

You can track progress here:

https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md

edit: atm it seems like these are done (despite the last two not being marked as such, I guess the roadmap is a bit outdated):

• federated star
• federated unstar
• federated user activity following

Forgejo is the best alternative. They are also working on ActivityPub support, so different Forgejo instances can communicate with each other.

Codeberg is one of the many Forgejo instances.
