When surfing with a privacy VPN, …

#Google: gives you search results

#DuckDuckGo: gives you the wrong search results (as usual)

#Startpage: verifies your request … and verifies … and still verifies …

Die beste Funktion für Smart Glasses ist, wenn sie gar keine Kamera haben. DuckDuckGo verkauft die perfekten Sonnenbrillen ohne WLAN, KI und Überwachungsgefahr für 35 US-Dollar. Ein großartiger und komplett ausverkaufter Protest gegen die aktuellen Metas dieser Welt.

Well, I felt rather badly when I got a post in my stream from the official Fediverse account for dillo.

You see, I hadn't included it in my recent HowTo, a cookbook style tutorial on Browsers in Linux, or rather, how to install a boatload of them, and all kinds of them. I even went so far to include one produced and maintained by a company that I literally loathe (and even taught their official MCSE curriculum for them starting back in the mid 90's)...

But I left out dillo. I was tired, and truth be told, it really isn't easy authoring these types of technical publications - you literally need to go through each item on a VM you spin up and take it step by step to make sure that when a neophyte comes around and wants ot simply copypasta your instructions - they can do that, and it will work.

So anyway, the devs over at the dillo project posted on the Fediverse and I immediately was guilt-ridden for not including them. So I went and started to edit my earlier HowTo; I came out about 5k characters over count (and I think my server's already configured for 12K chars).

Anyway, long story short, here's one of my latest contributions to the #FOSS community, specifically, one that's published in the #Fediverse first and foremost. It includes almost every browser you've probably ever used, and certainly, many you probably haven't.

I had to Quote-Post my original so it's kinda kewl with an entry point starting with dillo. I think that's pretty awesome, and it quotes the original (part I if you will) that starts with Vivaldi.

I don't usually ask, but especially with respect to this HowTo/Tutorial, the more people that boost it, the further it will reach, and the more people it can benefit. Give it a gander and if you think others will find portions of it advantageous... well, feel free to boost it.

So without further ado, Here's the link to the Linux Browser HowTo

I hope you find it useful, and Enjoy! 🤗

I’ve added three new Duck.ai tools: a Spotlight-like quick chat switcher, a local, quick-pick prompt repository, and a keybindings cheat sheet.

All three are userscripts, so you can pick and choose what you want to use.

A new blog post and a quick side project: two tools for exporting and converting chat history from Duck.ai web application.

#DuckDuckGo #DuckAI

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.

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.

Hey, at least there is a UK based old school search engine now, that respects privacy, and does not use Google's index (like Startpage) or Microsoft's (like DuckDuckGo) at all - https://mojeek.com
Does it give great results all the tjme? Ummm, not quite, but at least it is a nice option to have, that is a "work in progress"

Pensavo che fosse un problema iniziale di implementazione di #duckai, ma invece vedo che a tutt'oggi #duckduckgo non permette di abbonarsi se non passando per... lo store di Google!

Ma ci rendiamo conto del PARADOSSO!?!?

Cioè accettano abbonamenti PAGANTI per avere servizi per la #privacy, solo se la privacy te la fotti passando per Google!

Per me non stanno bene col cervello

Ma cosa costa oggi accettare pagamenti su un sito !?!?
E' quello il problema? Nel 2026?!?

I stopped using Google services a while ago.

I’ve written in the past about my #GoodbyeGoogle story. All part of me trying to leaving Big Tech behind.

I’m getting there.

I have a domain through which I run my own instance of Nextcloud, to replace Google Drive.

The other domain I set up to use for email and other services (albeit it’s via Apple).

In fact, apart from YouTube, my Google account is unused for anything else.

So, why have I received an email from Google advising me to verify my own domain as my recovery email?
How is Google even aware of this?

Rhetorical question, I suppose!

Here is my current tech stack:

* Storage - #Nextcloud
* Photos - Apple Photos
* Email - My own domain (currently via Apple Mail)
* Maps - Apple Maps
* Browser - #Vivaldi (MacBook) #quichebrowser (iPhone and iPad)
* Search - #DuckDuckGo
* Social Media - #GoToSocial

Omg yess!!!
Dokázal jsem, abych mohl z adresového řádku rovnou psát příkaz pro hledání v #mapycz
To byla snad poslední věc, kvůli které jsem nepoužíval #duckduckgo protože ten vyhledávač neumí vůbec hledat v mapách.
Tímto se nezbavuji #google protože stále používám prohlížeč, #youtube a tak.
Ale toto je překonání jedné z největších překážek.💪

PS. Nikdy by mne nenapadlo, že bude občas problém najít aplikaci na poznámky, která by dokázala synchronizovat aplikaci a zároven web a to zadarmo

@JProl
It looked good (I just dumped #DuckDuckGo for #Qwant) but then I saw the bit about "#AI" / #MachineLearning - so it won't be an alternative at all, certainly not for search quality and #EcologicalFootprint

Listening to Decoder with Nilay Patel (Google Zero is here. Now what?): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/524GE/traffic.megaphone.fm/VMP5635164199.mp3?updated=1717033911

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?

#Podcast #Search #Kaji #DuckDuckGo

I guess... it's time to find another #privacy focussed search engine?

Any suggestions?

@duckduckgpt How to enable the #DuckDuckGPT option? It does not appear in my browser (Firefox). 😞

#DDG #DuckDuckGo #GPT #ChatGPT #IA #SI #chat

Everyone says in response to questions says 'google it'

Am I the only person who doesn't use Google for search?

Why are people so lazy and accept all browser defaults and never change search engines?

Reminds me of the time Microsoft were forced to offer Microsoft choice to select an alternative browser. That turned out well for them didn't it?
