Mit der Verantwortung für faire Spielregeln auf den digitalen #Plattformen - von SocialMedia bis ECommerce - ist die @BNetzA auf der re:publica genau richtig. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch. #rp24#Berlin#DSC#DSA#DDG
23.5.2024 - Der Tag an dem offensichtlich wurde, dass Bing praktisch die einzige verbliebene Alternative zu Google ist. Alle anderen "Suchmaschinen" sind Bing mit Schlapphut und Trenchcoat. 🕵️
@jetztdochau Was suchst Du denn für abgefahrene Sachen? Ich würde sagen, bei mir sind viele Suchen nach Seiten, von denen ich nur die Domain nicht weiß.
Ich müsste das mal analysieren. Nur Suchen, die in Foren führen oder in Google Books klappen über #ddg nicht. Aber dafür gibt es dann !g und !gb.
Warum sollte ich für die Suche nach "Bundesinnenministerium" Google meine Verhaltensdaten geben?
Tyle z europejskości Qwanta, że usługa stała się nieużywalna, gdy tylko Bing przestał działać. DDG i Ecosia przynajmniej nie udają, że są tak niezależne.
W najlepszym razie funkcja składająca wyniki nie została napisana z założeniem, że Bing miałby być kiedykolwiek niedostępny, ale pozostaje pytanie, co naprawdę mają w swoim indeksie?
I've tried in multiple browsers, both with and without plugins enabled, yet DuckDuckGo is still failing to provide search results (here, at least) just responding;
There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.
It's been this way for several hours. Anyone else seeing the same? I'm in the UK.
If you're using #DuckDuckGo for privacy reasons, this might be a good day to try https://www.mojeek.com/ (if you're Sussex based, they're a local company.)
Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).
Fast jede 2. Person in Deutschland wurde schon einmal online beleidigt. 😲
Es ist höchste Zeit, etwas gegen zunehmende Desinformation, Hassrede, illegale Inhalte & Manipulation im Netz zu tun. 💪 "Wir dürfen & wir werden das Netz nicht den Demokratie- & Menschenfeinden überlassen", versichert Volker Wissing im Bundestag. Wie wir mehr Freiheit durch Sicherheit im Netz ermöglichen ohne Überregulierung erfährst Du in seiner Rede zum #DigitaleDiensteGesetz. #DDG Jetzt ansehen: https://youtu.be/imsl0QpII7Y
If you're running a business, you can either invest at being good at your business, or good at Google SEO. Choose the former and your customers will love you – but they won't be able to find you, thanks to the people who choose the latter. And if you're going to invest in top-notch SEO, why bother investing in quality at all? https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/05/the-map-is-not-the-territory/
"That's why the only serious competitor to Google is Bing, another Big Tech company (Bing is also the primary source of results on Duckduckgo, which is why DDG sometimes makes exceptions for Microsoft's privacy-invading tracking)."
"After quizzing these companies about data practices, I learned that most are sharing what’s happening in my home with Amazon, too. Our data is the price of entry for devices that want to integrate with Alexa. Amazon’s not only eavesdropping — it’s tracking everything happening in your home."
#GeoffreyAFowler, 'Alexa has been eavesdropping on you this whole time'
> Using DDG instead of Goggle is a step in either the right direction.
DDG is one option.
> What web search engines do you recommend?
We stopped doing recommendations. We literally roll a dice to pick a #searchEngine these days. They can be played off each other, too. It was super-interesting that #DDG found NOTHING about one FOSS publishers details recently whereas another #searchEngine found plenty.
#Scielo (https://www.scielo.org) website seems to be down. It is the URL i used to use, and it is the one that is given to me as the first search result in #DDG and Google. Was it moved? Does anyone know what is going on?
i need to buy a new #laptop. For the life of me I can't tell what the difference is between processors & how to determine my needs on that front. So little I'm not even sure how to search for it. #Anyhelp? #computer#new#askfedi#ddg#google#intel#amd
Beleidigungen, Gewaltaufrufe, Identitätsmissbrauch – zu oft gang & gäbe im Internet. Doch auch hier gilt unser Strafgesetzbuch! Die Bundesnetzagentur überwacht nun, dass Onlineplattformen & Suchmaschinen gegen illegale Inhalte vorgehen.
„Wir haben uns in Europa klare Regeln gegeben, damit man sicher & frei im Netz unterwegs sein kann. Was offline verboten ist, muss es auch online sein. Auch die Plattformbetreiber tragen Verantwortung. Wir nehmen sie noch stärker in die Pflicht“, so Wissing #DSA
ℹ️ Das „Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz“ #DDG ergänzt den Digital Services Act #DSA der EU für Deutschland. Das Gesetz modernisiert den Rechtsrahmen für digitale Dienste in Deutschland und regelt Buß- und Zwangsgelder. Für Verstöße können Plattformbetreiber beispielsweise mit bis zu 6 % ihres Jahresumsatzes sanktioniert werden.
You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.
Affirmative Action is a way to try to right generational wrongs that have caused damage to entire portions of our population, damages that continue to reverberate today.
Given that the US continues to underfund public primary education in poor and underprivileged communities where generally minorities live in higher proportion, yes, this is breaking history and the future for many in this country.

>have been seeing the worse results from duckduckgo
We're not the only ones who have been complaining about this recently. I was very happy with DDG for years and I still really like the fact that I can search the Free Software Directory by adding !fsd to my keywords. But their general search results have gone massively downhill in the last year or two, and I blame Bing.
@strypey Confirmation bias is what #DDG support relies on. When you opted to ignore the facts upon reading about Weinberg’s involvement with Names DB, that’s confirmation bias at work.
The facts of the article are uncountered. I have encountered no opposing facts to consider. But if you believe you have facts that counter the facts presented in the article, I would be interested in reviewing them.
#DuckDuckGo relies on its privacy policy and blog to sell itself as pro-privacy. That means all you have is trust. You are expected to trust a former privacy abuser to have reformed. And yet DDG was caught violating its own privacy policy. So it’s irrational to trust them. You also have to trust Microsoft (the privacy abuser DDG partnered with) to not record your search queries and IP together. The facts are against DDG but privacy marketing works wonders on people and pulls them into a confirmation bias bubble.
If I was making an argument for supporting DDG this might be relevant. I'm simply pointing out guilt-by-association about;
> Weinberg’s involvement with Names DB
... is unconvincing. As explained in my last post
> The facts of the article are uncountered
The argument in the TechRights doesn't depend on facts, but innuendo. So any "facts" it handwaves at while weaving this innuendo are neither here nor there.
