No, BFS is ment to explore all nodes abd edges systematicaly, while ant algorithms may never explore a whole bunsh of nodes. They do they search not systematically but by walking paths randomly at the beginning and spreading pheromons while doing so. Finding shorter paths will result in a higher pheromon level remaining and thus direct next ants to these shorter paths instead of longer ones.

You wouldn’t know, what they will do before executing the program and they will propably find shorter paths if you use 1000 ants instead of 100.

In my results I drew a graph the highlights the ant’s paths by thicknes. I drew such a graph after (for example) 10, 100 and 1000 ants. You could see, that the first ants took a path randomly and after 100 iterations, some of the shorter edges became a bit thicker than others. At the end, only the shortest edges where drawn with high thickness while the longest one where rarely used if at all

Answer is simple as always: As much privacy as possible.

So here the question was: Does account creation in this situation affect privacy? It is meaningless, what the threat model is, the answer is always the same.

Example: All data you type in for account registration but do not for purchase.

Easyer tracking directly and indirectly. Data broker use all they can get to identify you, so cross site tracking happens whenever you provide same phone number or mail.

Being able to switch these data points is helpful for privacy. And switching is easyer without accounts.

Yes.

I implemented a self made or at least adapted ant based algorithm to solve a mathematical problem. Each ant walks a route which represents a possible solution. The shortest path is the best solution. It takes advantage of swarm intelligence.

Some people obviously do not know what they are talking about. Telegram stores clear text chat messages on their servers. That’s not even near privacy

As your are talking about privacy friendly alternatives, the answer is none, because they would immediately lose their privacy friendlyness

Warranty is nothing I care about. In Germany it is perfectly legal (called “Garantie”), but we habe laws ensuring 2 year period called “Gewährleistung” which is automtically included

What is normal?

Decentralized services habe one huge advantage: Most people don’t unterstand, how it works, where to register and do on. Additionally federation comes with lots of additional to get most of connections.

Therefore: Centralized is definitely the way but not using shitty big tech. Maybe backup infrastructure could also be a way.

And Proton? Couldn’t stop laughing.

Yeah and you are still tracked

Never

Availability: Direct download via Repo or developer web page is missing. Google shouldn’t be a plus. The provided explanation in the last thread was invalid

When confronted, the developer claimed screenshots were only taken of suspicious sites and were encrypted

??? What’s the point? If you collect sensitive data, it doesn’t matter if you transfer them encrypted or not. What a bullshit argument. You still collect it.

I wonder if he is ashamed of himself.

I was looking for ‘car’ but only got a valid statement regarding copyrighted content.
What’s your point?

You post here and can delete here. If someone copies you content, you aren’t in control of deletion anymore

More context please. Where did you set the DNS? Smartphone, desktop? In browser or on system settings?

Assuming the following: You set the general DNS on your AOSP based smartphone to Mullvad and use Tor bowser simultaneously.

This is perfectly fine as Tor browser uses its own DNS. They won’t interfere.

Very naive

If that’s the case, you don’t need an exception but use other websites. Never lower privacy settings if something like thus occurs

Yes, they do.
