So, Ecosia offers zero benefits over DuckDuckGo, and there are some concerns (see other replies) over just how helpfully 'green' Ecosia is ...

... so, back to DuckDuckGo I, er, go.

Alors par contre, il faudra m'expliquer ce que fout un "Chat IA" sur #Ecosia qui se veut écolo. 😶

Je suis très sensible à la préservation des forêts donc j'adore le concept de Ecosia mais là je suis pas certain que cette feature soit une bonne idée en plus de ne pas être en adéquation avec la cause qu'ils défendent - je dis ça après avoir entendu le son du diable que produit un #datacenter

Certes c'est qu'un détail mais bon... Ce détail c'est comme le verbe croiver, c'est insupportable ><.

I decided to try out Ecosia for search today, having been a long-time DuckDuckGo user.

Some observations:

1. For some bizarre reason there's no way to access your user profile on the main page, only on search results. No, not even if you create an account and login.

2. So once I'd found that... the searches are backed by Google and/or Bing. Thus I selected Bing to match my DDG experience.

3. They default to some form of AI enhancement, but at least you can toggle that off, just like with DDG.

We'll see how this goes...

Y alguien dirá: «bueno pero el problema es solo si usas la IA de Ecosia». Y otro dirá: «claro. Especialmente siendo que Ecosia anunció antes de ayer que ahora se puede usar su buscador libre de IA» 🙄

PERO si para búsquedas normales están asociados con Microsoft y Google... ¿no son más de lo mismo? 🤨

ECOSIA dice que tiene «la IA más ecológica del mundo» 🤦 Pero el principal problema de esta afirmación es que «IA» y «ecología» son conceptos que van por carriles opuestos, más aún si las empresas en las que se apoyan son parte del grupo que acelera el daño al medioambiente. Esto es puro greenwashing ⚠️

Atención usuarios de ECOSIA ⚠️ Ecosia dice tener mucho amor por los árboles y las energías renovables, pero en la letra chica terminan llamando a los conocidos de siempre. Su principal proveedor de IA es Mistral (que también está bajo sospechas por temas de copyright) y usan de respaldo a OpenAI 🤦

Pra quem gostava de usar o #Ecosia, mas se decepcionou com a inserção forçada de IA, agora você pode entrar nas opções e ativar a caixinha "AI-free searching", que remove todo o slop da sua frente.

Out of curiosity, I tried to find the option to turn off @ecosia 's AI features.

The first thing I pressed (paperclip at the bottom left of the search field) brought up this dialog.

So much for that. I have no more questions.

Ah ! #Ecosia permet maintenant de désactiver complètement l'usage d'#IA sur son moteur de recherche !
Et, avec ou sans IA, ils continueront à planter des arbres !

C'est con que toute l'eau nécessaire pour les arbres soit utilisée pour refroidir les data-center dédiés à l'IA qu'Ecosia a choisi de mettre en place et d'activer par défaut.

@futurebird To be free from Google, the EU invests into an own search machine which is a cooperation of #Ecosia and #Qwant.
No free community would have the financial power you need for such a project!
