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.
I just searched #DuckDuckGo for "Awesome Selfhosted", and noticed that the image result section was all blurred out. Turns out all the non-safe image results for that term are all porn. wtf?
So #DuckDuckGo have a browser. Well - let's give it a spin. Do we add this to PUP list? Installed it on a brand new stock Windows laptop. The first thing you get is some sort of induction/onboarding screen, 1 of 4 - groan ok, first page obvious information, second page ... a video... I can't see how to stop this and just start using the browser, because tempus fugit. Nope. Onboard or Uninstall that is your options. Uninstalled.
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.
For nearly 20 years now, the web has been Google’s platform; we’ve all just lived on it…For a lot of small businesses and content creators, that’s suddenly not stable anymore. The number one question I have for anyone building things on someone else’s platform is: What are you going to do when that platform changes the rules?
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
Potestowałem tego chata AI z DuckDuckGo i jest bezużyteczny. Okroili go z wielu rzeczy, prywatności, nieszkodzenia nikomu, nawet kodu Morse'a nie odszyfruje. #DuckDuckGo#chatAI
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).
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. 🕵️
