Should we even be calling it the open web at this point?

Thank you I tried Mojeek a few days ago but I forgot what it was called. the site for mojeek is mojeek.com btw.

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

youcare.world is still up but that is based on google and I am not sure how legit the tree planting is. Not to mention their privacy policy mentions facebook which is always a red flag. https://youcare.world/privacy?l=en

Oh startpage is starting to work again maybe it was under extra load from people using it while bing is down?

Funny thing is the way I found out bing was down is I searched for startpage in duckduckgo to try it thinking it might be a good alternative but when DDG wasnt working I tried it on ecosia. which was also down once I finally opened start page it wasn’t working either. Its all bing all the way down.

I think having all the search engines being front ends for just bing and google has just revealed an obvious weakness.

There is also a template on github. https://github.com/lynnpepin/arbitration-opt-out-templates/tree/main/Discord

Wait I already opted out of arbitration 5 or 6 years ago do I need to do it again?

Basically a Bing front-end that uses ad money to plant trees.

Ecosia added ai chat which I think runs on the same thing as copilot. I don’t see the point though and would like to be able to hide the ai chat option.

It should be illegal to force people to use generative ai to do things it is not needed for.
Seeing Microsoft’s plans to add ai to windows was the last straw that made me change to linux.

My guess is it is a bit of both.

That being said I think there should be an independent organization in charge of defining what is and is not triple A. Like if you buy the game and it still has micro-transactions and loot-boxes it should be disqualified from being considered AAA. I don’t think having a large budget by itself should be enough.

Is Ublock Origin and Dark reader compatible with pale moon?

Ms should continue security patches are get fined for the e-waste they will cause.

“we don’t like or condone bigotry in any form.” I mean they are litterally Condoning bigotry.

“His response similarly doesn’t engage other questions from the Substackers Against Nazis authors, like why these policies allow it to moderate spam and newsletters from sex workers but not Nazis.”

Doesn’t seem very consistent.

Introducing our most bloated operating system yet.

I am not sure about this place though some tech communities I have lost interest in because they became less about cool tech and stuff and more about the companies themselves.

You know the printing industry is messed up when “Our printers are less hated” is not satire.
