That's what I offer--more than anything else--to show people how it's built. And help out with educating as many well intentioned Patriots as possible. Alright? I'll be around to do that. Maybe we'll even build two great projects over the coming months that can make a difference. I will give it my best.
There's only, I'd say, 10, (ten), big, constantly updating search indexes in the world as of right now. Google is the biggest. Microsoft's "bing" is #2. There's a few others. For the most part, Google's search index dominates everything. The way I see it, that's a huge problem. The people need to build a big, real time, dynamic search index that is actually "not" evil. (Remember how Google started out saying they wouldn't "be evil?" Ha.) There's a longer story about how things ended up this way, in terms of the lack of innovation in the search sector, but we will talk about that another day.
Here you go. A blank slate, day 1. Not much to it. We will build our own proprietary search index behind that brand, I'll explain every step of the way. Again, we will need a significant sized team of developers. I propose we train people rather than trying to "deprogram" and "convince" existing developers to join.
If you're not convinced yet by the brand, don't worry too much about it. It's "good enough" for our educational project. The proprietary database (that has not even been started yet), that will sit behind the public-facing brand is what we will really be focused on building. That database can, and should, power hundreds of independent search brands in the ... hopefully ... near future.
No one has done this yet. Some entrepreneurs have stepped forward to build "alternative" and "freedom of speech" social networks. No one has done anything around search. It's equally as important a category to build technology in. But there's a lot more to it, than building a simple social network, which can be done with a small team. So. We will get started quickly.
After we get this search brand under development, we will start work on a chat app. Both are important. The stuff I'm explaining here is enough to digest for tonight so we will move on to talking about chat technologies at a future date.
There will be some people who are negative about these projects. There always are. Be ready for it.
Big technology projects are built by teams. I'll show everyone how that works. It is an interesting thing to be on a development team even in a limited role such as quality checking or helping to write some part of the documentation. Teams are great when you get good people on them and when you can see progress being made it's highly motivating to everyone.
By the way there are indeed a few "other" search projects that are under development if you look around the entire internet. That is not a problem at all. It is good news for everyone, in fact. Google doesn't fear them so far because they're so far ahead. There are new arenas opening up for search though, which we will talk about, new technologies to be built in to search databases and room for competitive innovation. And, if you're interested in learning about how big technology projects are built, a search project--for a bunch of reasons--is one of the best possible projects to work on.
We will start in a humble, realistic way in terms of architecture and scale up as the projects move forward. It is way more efficient, and practical, to build technology in these categories now than it was ten years ago for example. For that reason, I always expect that more entrepreneurs will step up and start building new projects....it's a shame that most of the innovation has historically come out of one region (Silicon Valley) of the U.S., doesn't have to be that way.
Thank you for your kind words!

Im writing a learning program now for school age kids. I know when I work with other creatives we are able to come up with amazing ideas and work product together. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I know you will create greatness. Happy to see this positivity. The seed grows under great pressure from the earth. We are all growing from this. πŸ™
So true

I find when people tell me I can’t do something, that is the exact motivation I need to prove them wrong.

That's why we need search and chat free from the current overlords.

Thank you so much! I followed you on twitter but I left that dump in January. I am glad you are here where more productive communication is possible.

It's amazing that we are here, building something. I have been reading the late section of Exodus where they are given the designs for the temple, and where they build it. Artisans specially gifted by God, directed by the Holy Spirit. I do not believe this to be a mistake or coincidence that I am reading these passages at this time. May the Lord bless the work of our hands!

Start pulling out the barbs. You can switch from gmail to Protonmail (use both for a while). You can factory reset your android and then don't sign in to any Google stuff, get your apps from other places like apkpure rather than the app store. Use the Brave browser. Find open source alternatives to all the software you rely on. This will make it easy to switch over to the Linux operating system. It is a journey. Ready, set, go!

I was dumped from the dump in Jan πŸ˜‚.
I always followed Jeffrey there too.

Proton Mail has a free option but if you get the paid version, you can use custom domains. So if you own a domain name like johndoe.me your email address can be john@johndoe.me
To my new subscribers here on Telegram: Thank you so much for your interest in this chanel! Here we will be talking a a lot about technology, a little about politics, but instead of posting the same stuff everyone else posts, we will do our best to give you some unique value--we will focus on rapidly educating Patriots about technology from the life experience of a "industry insider," while doing our best to keep it interesting, (sometimes tech stuff seems a little boring, less so when it affects your life) and ultimately we will be in the chat room connected to this channel exchanging tips and knowledge that will help all of us take back our digital freedom from the evil "big tech" overlords.
