Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor and government whistleblower, has been credited with the quote "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say". Snowden has argued that privacy is a fundamental right and that without it, individuals cannot have anything for themselves. The "nothing to hide" argument has been used to defend the collection and use of government data beyond surveillance and disclosure, but critics argue that it is inherently paradoxical and that what is hidden is not necessarily relevant. Snowden has also stated that the burden of justification falls on those seeking to infringe upon human rights, and that nobody needs to justify why they "need" a right.

The one I like most is YouTube, where it shows everything from the last few days and then only the most popular content from the last few weeks, months, and even years. I would like something similar, where the further I browse, the more votes a post must have to show up in the feed.
I would like if URLs were SEO friendly and you could search by community from a search engine like site:instance.com/community_name
This should have been the way it was implemented from the beginning until the built-in search was half as good as the search engine.
I believe Claude 2 is the best LLM option currently, if you live in the US or UK or have a VPN.
I'm still waiting for a local autonomous AI agent with search. I don't understand why most autonomous agent projects use GPT-4 without incorporating search capabilities. Allowing the model to continuously hallucinate is not productive. Instead, it should be able to discover factual information and perform genuinely useful tasks.
I know about https://programming.dev and https://mtgzone.com I wish there were one about gaming and another about fanfiction
