  6. This afternoon's notification.

    It has crossed my mind to post a fresh screenshot from the App Tracking Protection feature every time it notifies me that it has blocked new tracking attempts (2-3x/day), but I don't have time and it would crowd out other people's posts.

  7. Back in the day, we had #deleteFacebook, #deleteMeta, #deleteWhatsApp, and so on.

    Some people heeded the call for a while, only to quietly return to Big Tech later on.

    Now, many have been jolted awake by our dependence on Big Tech, and another #quitday and other variations are gaining momentum.

    Personally, I started that journey years ago.

    - From Gmail to #ProtonMail and #Tuta
    - From Google to #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - From Chrome to #Brave #Mulvad and #LibreWolf
    - From MS Office to #LibreOffice
    - From Google Drive to #NextCloud and #Synology
    - From Facebook to #MeWe and #Mastodon
    - From Windows to #Linux
    - From WhatsApp to #Threema #Signal #Jami and #Matrix #Element
    - From Zoom to #Jitsi and #ProtonMeet
    - From Google Translate to #Deepl

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a few, but there’s a European and open-source alternative for every American Big Tech and closed-source application.

    What I’ve noticed is that many people are afraid of what they don’t know and therefore don’t dare to make the switch (completely).
    (Some people just don’t give a damn and convenience is all that matters)

    Any fear is unfounded, and if all of us switches en masse, Big Tech’s power will be quickly broken, and the development of alternatives will proceed much more smoothly and quickly.

  8. Vroeger hadden we #deleteFacebook #deleteMeta #deleteWhatsApp en noem maar op.

    Sommigen gaven daar even gehoor aan om later toch stilletjes terug te keren naar Big Tec.

    Nu werden velen even wakker geschud door onze afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tec en komt er weer een #doeidag en andere varianten op gang.

    Persoonlijk ben ik die reis al jaren geleden begonnen.

    - Van Gmail naar #ProtonMail en #Tuta
    - Van Google naar #Searx #Startpage #DuckDuckGo
    - Van chrome naar #Brave #Mulvad en #LibreWolf
    - Van MS Office naar #LibreOffice
    - Van Google Drive naar #NextCloud en #Synology
    - Van Facebook naar #MeWe en #Mastodon
    - Van Windows naar #Linux
    - Van Whatsapp naar #Threema #Signal #Jami en #Matrix #Element
    - Van Zoom naar #Jitsi en #ProtonMeet
    - Van Google Translate naar #Deepl

    Ik vergeet er vast nog een paar, maar er is voor elke Amerikaanse en Closed Source toepassing wel een Europees en Open Source alternatief.

    Wat ik merk is dat veel mensen bang zijn voor dat wat ze niet kennen en daarom niet (geheel) durven over te stappen.
    (sommigen interesseerd het gewoon geen reet en is gemak het enige dat telt)

    Eventuele angst is ongegrond en als we met heel Europa massaal overstappen is de macht van Big Tec snel gebroken en verloopt de ontwikkeling van alternatieven veel soepeler en sneller.

  9. Glovo app tracking is just nuts. I can't imagine what it looks like when you have some truly invasive apps, like Facebook or Instagram.

  10. I dared to type the same string in google search engine

    The output was surprisingly on point, the presentation not great and the massive massive fully identifiable string I had to strip out!

    That's where the hidden danger is, that string was so big it took about the whole size of the displayable part of my Android, think about it

    The images were totally wrong when you scroll down on google search

  11. It is very nice and heartwarming to know that there are still search engines left which properly bring up what you asked for.

    When I typed the string that you can see at the bottom of the screen cap {Stefano Marinelli} I got proper results
    I could immediately go where I want to and read what I want to read

  12. #Suchmaschine:

    #Duckduckgo führt #KI- #Bildfilter ein.

    Die #Suchmaschine #Duckduckgo ermöglicht das Ausblenden künstlich erzeugter #Bilder. Alle solche Bilder wird der #Filter aber nicht erfassen.

    Die #datenschutzorientierte #Suchmaschine setzt damit ihre Strategie fort, sich durch mehr #Kontrollmöglichkeiten für ihre #Nutzer von der #Konkurrenz abzuheben.

    #KI-generierte Inhalte #überfluten derzeit das #Internet und damit auch die #Suchergebnisse.

  13. @JProl
    Me pareció bien (acabo de sustituir #DuckDuckGo por #Qwant) hasta ver la parte sobre "#IA" / #AprendizajeMecánico - así que no será una alternativa en absoluto, al menos no para la calidad de búsqueda y la #HuellaEcológica

  14. #fefe: "#Google hat also einen wirtschaftlichen Anreiz, dass die #Werbung genau das ist, was du haben wolltest, aber die #Suchergebnisse nicht."

    Edit: ich nutze seit weit über einem Jahrzehnt kein Google mehr. Soweit bin ich mit meinen Suchergebnissen recht zufrieden: #startpage (weniger) und #DuckDuckGo (vermehrt). 🤷

  15. Do you want to get rid of all the pesky DuckDuckGo ads for Temu and other crap?

    Just chuck this into your own uBlock Origin or AdNauseam filter list:

    ```
    ! Block DuckDuckGo ads.
    duckduckgo.com###links > .results--ads
    ```
