Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet.
The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts may have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.
I feel like I post this every few months, but: is there a launcher for #Android AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the latest #Pixel Launcher, but lets me use a different search engine?
I love the stock launcher:
• At a Glance
• Combined app/web search
• Very little customizability because good defaults
• Smooth animations/integration w/Recents
• Ability to turn off Google Discover feed
• Simple gestures (⬇️ notifications, ⬆️ all apps)
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).
Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy.
It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
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. 🕵️
Now that #DuckDuckGo has moved to opt-out advertising without an obvious opt-out (it is there, it is just not obvious), rather than opt-in, I wonder for how much longer I will continue to use it for my www #search needs.
#StartPage, perhaps? I don't fancy running searx again, but I guess I could.
What's everyone using to search the web these days? I've been using #DuckDuckGo for the past 5 years and I'm pretty happy with it. I do wish there was an option to block some domains from ever showing up in the results, but that would of course require having an account. Any good alternatives to consider?
Ya lo decidí. Abandono Windows y me convertiré en usuario full Linux 🤓 . Esto ya lo he intentado antes y he fallado en el camino, pero creo que ahora como nunca es fácil hacer esa migración ya que la mayoría de las herramientas de uso habitual y, particularmente, las que yo ocupo tienen alternativa por lo que he estado leyendo los últimos días (#duckduckgo es mi amigo).
Any of you using the #Brave#search. What do you think? I just switched yesterday because #DuckDuckGo got a lot worse after Microsoft downmodded Wikipedia in #Bing (probably to make space for their shitty "AI"). So far it seems pretty good in general but very poor for local things here in Sweden.
My #firefox and #duckduckgo experiment is going well. But email feels like a bigger commitment along this #degoogle path. I looked at the usual suspects like Proton, Mailfence, Fastmail,etc. I also ran across #disroot (https://disroot.org). This is much more than just email! They offer #NextCloud#Cryptpad#Jitsi and all sorts of other stuff. A group of loosely aggregated open source stuff, and feels less seamless as a result. But definitely interesting. Anyone have any experience with them?
So it seems that #DuckDuckGo was down for the last few hours because of a #Bing outage. That's very annoying; DDG should probably get out from under Microsoft's coat tails...
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.
DuckDuckAssitant is back!
