🌎 Earth Day is an important reminder to commit to big or small sustainable practices that can help preserve our planet. 🌱

We can all contribute in someway.

On that note, meet our colleague @Hlini , at our data center in Iceland powered by renewable, hydroelectric energy✨

One way you can contribute is through your choice of search engine on the Vivaldi browser.

The Ecosia search engine plants trees in over 35 countries with local organisations.

Made a post about searching engines, since I like so much because it displays lot of images, but wondered if there were another option that could be better than Ecosia. Someone mentioned . I tried and found out that's the best one I used lately!

I like to search images over the #Internet and I've been trying different search engines and I find that #Ecosia may be the best option. I noticed that there are much more #pictures displayed than the others. Am I right? Is Ecosia the best one or are there others? #Images

@Nangpa Between this, and adding AI Chat, #Ecosia are ruining their own product.

@jantzen Yes! Thanks for the recommendation. I was subscribed to #Kagi for a while, but decided to stick with #Ecosia (for now) because they plant trees with their profits.

Day 4

by companies poses a big threat to our privacy.

In light of this, switching to a -friendly search engine is a quick and easy way to help you keep your online experience private. 🔒

What is your preferred privacy-oriented ? Do you use different ones for regular and private searches?

lmao, signed into in order to cancel my subscription, and they're having such severe technical issues that I can't even do that right now 😂

In their defense, this is literally the first time in 6+ months I've ever encountered any tech issues with them.

But it's funny timing!

’s back & I've canceled my sub. Have 1 week to find a replacement:

  • , if I get super desperate, lolno.
  • , always the obvious "not Google" choice; but ISTR them having their own ethical quandaries? & are "just Bing"? Brief trial "feels good” tho, need to dig more.
  • sounds like a nice idea, but is probably just greenwashing?
  • is cool but not quite the same level as Goog/DDG/Kagi, too narrowly focused to be a catchall.
  • What else?

I'm dumbfounded to find Ecosia's new 'AI Chat' feature. Surely, they must know how unsustainable AI is? Am I the only that feels this way?

Die Suchmaschine will jetzt Google-Suchergebnisse liefern und dafür Google-Cookies nutzen und offenbar meine IP auch an Google weitergeben. Weiß das jemand einzuordnen?

hat die Datenschutzbedingungen aktualisiert.

Explizit weggefallen ist der Teil, dass die letzten zwei Segmente der IP-Adresse "verschleiert" werden.

Stattdessen werden zukünftig explizit Suchbegriffe UND IP-Adresse an Bing und, bei Zustimmung, an Google übermittelt.

Sehr schade, ich halte von Ecosia als Unternehmen viel, aber der Wegfall der "Verschleierung" vor Übertragung ist ein echter Rückschritt.

Judita reads about the EU “Digital Services Act" definition of some online platforms as “gatekeepers”

“One more word of slang. As a user, do I need all this regulation?”

She closed on her phone, turned to her laptop, opened 3 tabs: for , and . She received a video link, and opened . Her account blipped

She stopped for a second. She had just used 7 of the 11 apps...

Also, three areas in which European products might need a push:

THE SEARCH - Ecosia, a non-profit, green corp. Every 50 searches, they plant a tree. Uses Bing engine.

THE BROWSER - @Vivaldi a Norwegian competitor of Google. Selling point: "we don't track you"

THE CLOUD - OVH and Hetzner offer virtual servers, but still go short on cloud native services

Ecosia, is it really so private?

A article about if Ecosia is really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private is Ecosia really and which are the downsides of it. Is the first article I ever written, so it isn't perfect. I'm open for feedback!

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

  • DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

  • Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"

Google Search is over.

Geo,

@rodhilton I tested #Ecosia (which gives the same results like #Bing) and these are the same like #DuckDuckGo. I hope Bing doesn't start to follow #Google with these types of ideas.
