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.
🧵 …eine regelmäßige aktualisierte Übersicht von Internet Suchmaschinen sind in dieser Artikel gelistet. Es ist ausführlich aufgezeigt, welche Web-Services von welchem Anbieter abhängig ist. Dies zeigt auf, welche wirklich eigenständig sind und nicht nur Privatsphäre vortäuschen:

»A look at search engines with their own indexes«
– by @Seirdy
I am less and less scared AI "will become smarter than humans" and more and more afraid someone will opt to put an incompetent and hallucinating AI in charge of something it really shouldn't, like self flying planes or trains or healthcare.
A giudicare da quanta gente sembra aver appena capito che #Duckduckgo, #Ecosia, #Qwant, (e Yahoo! e molti altri) sono alimentati essenzialmente da #Bing, non c'è da essere ottimisti sulla consapevolezza dagli utenti.
Che poi l'alternativa sarebbe il monopolio di #Google, quindi persino peggio.
In the near future a mass of people are going to die in a city from the heat, and the headlines will say that "it wouldn't have been so bad except the power went out"
Heat is going to take down power systems. The power systems that could protect us from an event, will be harmed by the event.
618 people in Canada, in the mountains, in the forest, died of a #climate heat event, on the floors of their homes, on their beds. No flames. Just a days heat.
The power stayed on, it would have been worse
☝️ Yes, the #Internet was not broken yesterday, only #Bing from #Microsoft and therefore these so-called alternatives, which apparently resist #Google. You should expand your naive belief and behaviour via #SearXNG, @Mojeek and/or #Stract search. You can find it by #search'ing for the corresponding hashtags in #Fediverse.
When Bing, Microsoft’s search engine platform, went down early yesterday, it took down a number of services with it, including ChatGPT search, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo — all of which rely on the Bing API to operate.
With the majority of Google search alternatives taken out in one fell swoop, it highlighted the lack of competition that Google search truly has, and the implications that has on our online experience. Is there another way? @arstechnica has more.
Da ich schon lange #SearXNG als alternative #Suchmaschine nutze, habe ich von den technischen Problemen bei #Bing tatsächlich erst durch verschiedenen Beiträgen hier in der #Fediverse erfahren. Ich nutze zwar mit SearXNG auch Bing, frage allerdings noch ein paar andere Suchmaschinen ab. Aus diesem Grund ist mir das Problem gestern komplett egal gewesen.
Und von dem wesentlich bessern #Datenschutz solcher alternativen #Metasuchmaschinen will ich erst gar nicht anfangen. Zum Wochenende: Ausgesucht
While #DuckDuckGo is down, I tried out a few other search engines. I did a search I made yesterday in each. #Bing gave me an interesting looking blog first, then some less-related info from high-trust sources, then an interesting paper, then a bunch of garbage. #Mojeek gave me nothing that looked interesting, just pages that used some of the words from my search. #Kagi gave me the less-related high-trust sources first, then the entire rest of the first page looked interesting.
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).
Between the speech given where #Microsoft literally want to cloud base Windows (calling it Windows 365), the #AI "Callback" wife beater tool and #Bing AI eating the Bing API for half a day today almost the entire W11 subreddit seems up in arms. I have never seen so many "I am switching to #Linux" and "I am saving up for a #Mac" comments as today.
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. 🕵️
Pour les personnes qui sont perdues parce que #DuckDuckGo / #Bing / #Ecosia / #Qwant ne fonctionnent plus aujourd'hui, sachez qu'Alsace Réseau Neutre propose un meta-moteur de recherche qui se base aussi sur l'index Google. Il est donc toujours fonctionnel.
Cerise sur le gâteau, il vous remplace les liens youtube par des liens invidious :)
Ce qui me fume dans cette histoire de moteurs de recherche basés sur la technologie de #Bing (comme tout le reste de la plèbe j'ai découvert ça aujourd'hui), c'est que j'aurais jamais cru que les mecs qui ont conçu et ont persisté surtout, avec Internet Explorer pouvaient produire une techno suffisamment crédible pour qu'on veuille se reposer dessus.
