Because of the current issue with Bing that affects DuckDuckGo and Qwant, I did a "research" (5 min look into https://alternativeto.net/software/google-search/?license=opensource ) and found Searx and Searxng. I'm giving a try to Searxng, so far so good finding issues with Ubuntu 24.04 and Wayland. But I keep thinking that there should be a federated way to search the Internet

You want ethical alternatives? Let’s build a campus where folks can work on them without worrying about how to exist day-to-day (or fund their early-stage development like VC does for surveillance capitalism).

The extent of what public funding is doing today is “Oh, looks like you’ve got some alternative functional, let’s pay you to add Feature X to it.”

Better than nothing?

Sure.

Best we can do?

Not by a longshot.

With the blocking of #Telegram in #Spain, many people are now looking for #alternatives to this messaging app. Here's a good article (Comparison of #InstantMessengers) that shows that there is no shortage of safe and #opensource options.

Does anyone on #Mastodon also use #Peertube in our fine #Fediverse of platforms? I'm looking for #Recommendations for #Instances to join. Are there any #Alternatives I should be looking at instead? Did I use enough #Hashtags in this post?

Salut les pouetteureuses ! Question alternatives libres, sans pub, sans traqueur aux initié-es.

Est-ce que vous auriez des articles, tutos SIMPLES (pour des noobs pas du tout sensibilisé-es aux questions de données, ayant 0 connaissance en code et dont l'usage du web est classico-classique) pour faire découvrir l'existence, l'intérêt et la façon d'utiliser les alternatives comme nitter, invidious etc permettant de contourner le flicage des plateformes, svp ?

Get Rid Of Human Resources! Many organizations still use this term to label the office that hires, manages, and fires employees. UGH!

« Pas de voiture, pas de business » en centre-ville ? 🤔

I’m not really feeling matrix (running a server seems… complicated) but I’m definitely interested in any and all alternatives to telegram or discord rn, especially if they have sticker support. Lay ‘em on me

Hey Mastodon...

Best Zoom alternative?

My boss isn't happy about their new terms, including stuff with using all meetings to feed AI.

Give me info!
