Wow, if you search for signal messenger on DuckDuckGo using Chrome, the actual @signalapp web site is the *third* entry following ads for “Signal Private Messenger – Free Download” that leads to the site appmaus.com and “Get Signal Messenger | Install Signal App” that leads to the site filelocations.com.

DuckDuckGo should be held criminally liable for anyone who ends up downloading malware because of this.

My #AI Slop article reporting and flagging #extension is at a point where I'm ready to share it more widely. As of today you can install it right from #Firefox here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/slop-farmer/

Help others by reporting slop articles, and then have pages from those domains flagged in users' searches on #DuckDuckGo

Support for other #search engines and other improvements are on the todo list. If you're interested in #contributing, report issues or create #PRs here:

Please boost!

Good news everyone, NO AI DuckDuckGo has landed in Tor Browser as search engine to choose from.

This makes it much easier for Tor browser users to make the NO AI DDG the default search engine.

Let's make this known to more people to have a choice to avoid using AI.

This will likely be added to Mullvad browser as well.

If you are already using DDG please consider making the NO AI DDG version the default to help save the planet and to let the DuckDuckGo owners know that you do not always want to let AI automatically generate answers even when you did not ask for it. You can still use DDG with AI when you really need it at times.

Alternative a Google Search

Quali alternative a Google Search? Se volete riappropriarvi della privacy nelle vostre ricerche ecco qualche motori di ricerca alternativo!

https://www.lealternative.net/2019/10/18/alternative-a-google-search/

Intéressant point de vue de #VeronicaExplains, visiblement excédée des gens qui lui demandent son point de vue sur le moteur de recherche #Kagi. En résumé, elle n'apprécie pas, en particulier parce que cette entreprise prétend "humaniser le web" mais se complaît dans l'IA tout en arguant d'une supposée "neutralité" en matière de politique (on sait où ça mène...).

Perso, je teste depuis qq semaines et je ne comprends pas bien son intérêt par rapport à un #DuckDuckGo ?

https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/115531895724155145

DuckDuckGo now uses "DuckSansProduct" as its body font; a search for "DuckSansProduct" on DDG returns zero results.

HELP!

Can you share approaches to decolonising the web - eg how did you ditch #Google?

I use #DuckDuckGo as a browser but am still locked in to G because of email and the calendar.

Is #Proton an ethical alternative for email/calendar? What else?

Desperate to ditch!

I'm a techie. I recently tried Matrix. I find it so clunky. Non-techies will hate it and abandon it. I'll keep pushing Signal to family and friends.

this concludes pospi's 5am commentary on sleepily using the "!g" feature of #duckduckgo to find the bass set from the artist with the weird 13375p33k name that confused the 'lesser' search engine

Segnalo che, purtroppo, il (per me fichissimo) servizio #duckai per l'uso dei modelli di AI in modalità privata e anonimizzata di #duckduckgo diventa A PAGAMENTO 😞 (10 euri/mese)

O meglio mentre prima l'uso di nuove chat era illimitato, ora dopo un tot ti chiede di abbonarti

Capisco che le risorse si pagano, e il servizio meritava, ma mi sembra una presa per il culo così, visto che ti danno prima lo shortino gratis e poi dopo che ti sei abituato spingono a passare a servizi premium, deluso
