Just great. Now Duck Duck Go is putting ads on the top of search pages. Any other search engine out there that doesn't do this? They are identified as ads and my ad blockers block them, but still.
I don't know why it doesn't, I've submitted URLs and sitemaps. According to Bing's own Webmaster Tools, there are no specific problems, it's allowed by robots.txt, testing individual pages reports no issues, etc. And yet every URL is "Excluded" with no additional information provided. Bing support helpfully suggested I review the webmaster guidelines to increase my chances.
Searching for an exact page title will return other sites which link to it, but not the original post. :blobconfounded:
Benieuwd of internetbedrijven de #DSA op een manier kunnen spinnen waardoor gebruikers de schuld van ongemakken bij de EU leggen.
Zie de GDPR. Insteek daar was om verhandelen gevevens websitebezoekers door third parties in te dijken.
Dat hebben platformen en websites omgedraaid in: we blijven dezelfde data vergaren en verkopen, maar we gaan de gebruiker pesten met dark pattern cookie popups.
Elke site die je zo'n popup toont wil gewoon verder gaan met je data monetizen bij brokers.
This is an old BBC News piece on data mining. Let's put it in context. My VPN has, in the past seven days, blocked nearly 40,000 tracking attempts by data miners embedded in the BBC News app on my Android phone. Forty thousand, and I'm paying for the data throughput.
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).
Trying out #DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in Firefox. Pretty good for general searches, but not very good for doing any searches against the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission website, which is something I do regularly. ☹️
When I search for news in Duckduckgo I get this weird list of headlines at the top, and clicking one takes me to a "Microsoft Start" site asking me to download an app before I can read it. What's going on here? It doesn't seem very Duckduckgo? #duckduckgo
@rodhilton I tested #Ecosia (which gives the same results like #Bing) and these are the same like #DuckDuckGo. I hope Bing doesn't start to follow #Google with these types of ideas.
@rodhilton I use #duckduckgo for my searches but because of the personalised results by google it is good for local searches such as restaurants, ATM's etc.
korrektur, nix extensions am ios firefox anscheinend.
..es ist ja wirklich nicht zu ertragen mal eben schnell was am smartphone nachzuschlagen. ein erbitterter kampf mit cookie bannern, abo bannern, newsletter bannern, autoplay videos, sonstiger müll der durch das pihole nicht abgefangen wird und dann noch die extralangen intros damit man auch möglichst viel werbung sieht... vielleicht will ja irgendwann auch nurnoch sowas wie chatgpt nutzen nur um das internet irgendwie zu ertragen
My biggest annoyance with #DuckDuckGo is that it does not use #OpenStreetMap as the default #map provider when searching for place names. Is there a #searchengine that uses #osm by default?
@geerlingguy@duckduckgo I‘m now so used to using the ! command on #duckduckgo that I would have a really hard time to move away.
I’m even using it on my phone. Just open the search and type e.g. !imdb Oppenheimer
And it searches directly in IMDB
or !wolfram how long to transfer 300GB over 50Mbit/s
or !nixpkgs chromium
#Vivaldi bzw. auch Klon in meiner Mastodon-App, auch, wenn mich ärgert, dass Vivaldi in vielen Browser-Statistiken und Browser-Detection-Tools als angeblich "Chrome (Google)" gelistet wird. Ich helfe also statistisch dem größer werdenden Feind ;-)
Gelegentlich #DuckDuckGo-Browser, weil der da so bequem erreichbar rumdümpelt.
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?

'You know, there is nothing we can do about #damage to the TPS. If it has been damaged it’s probably better not to know. I think the crew would rather not know. Don’t you think it would be better for them to have a happy successful flight and die unexpectedly during entry than to stay on #orbit, knowing that there was nothing to be done, until the air ran out ?'” https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150130-what-caused-the-columbia-disaster
