Yeah I agree. I went from Google -> Startpage -> Qwant and I’ve been getting pretty good results honestly. Couldn’t be happier. Only thing bugging me now is them, wanting me to install their browser extension when using Firefox but I just blocked that with uBlock

I mean I get that that freaks you out but as long as I can turn it off I wouldn’t base a buying decision on this. But if the general vibe doesn’t fit then it just doesn’t fit, I get that.

Can’t you just turn the keyword thing off?

Warning to anyone that thinks about using an external service to sync/back up images. Immich is NOT encrypted. You trust these people to respect your privacy and not get hacked, or you would have to just not care. Ente or Zeitkapsel are fully encrypted and decent alternatives you do not have to host yourself. I personally will self-host but I will never ever trust someone with my private pictures from my camera roll.

Immich isn’t even encrypted AFAIK. I would never trust my data some stranger unencrypted.

Ecosia is worse when it comes to tracking and advertising tho, but their goals are most certainly admirable

I mean its not American but certainly not private

Ecosia is actively developing their own search index together with Qwant. They are rolling out French and German results this year actually. AFAIK only like Mojeek and like Swisscow have their own search index (as well as Brave which is US based). But their current search results aren’t really that great which is why I will stick to Qwant.

I also don’t fully trust Brave because of their whole crypto involvement but their search engine is pretty good from experience and definitely much better in terms of privacy than google.

Startpage got bought by System1 in 2019. System1 is an American advertising company. I personally use Qwant for privacy reasons - They’re also in the process of building their own search index together with Ecosia.

I think its easier to switch from generally that to LibreOffice, but the company driving OnlyOffice is russian so I’d prefer a community driven project like LibreOffice tbh.

No, the article specifically mentions on how to get to this site from the steam client.

You mean Murena?

I thought Oral-B is also part of Proctor & Gamble

I just wish we had fast food chains not from the Uk, as they aren’t really around where I live

Seems like the mods from r/buyfromeu on reddit don’t really want european alternatives to win when it means them leaving their subreddit in favor of something actually european

This is about localization, not about renaming the thing

I feel like I’m kinda somewhere in between tech conservative and paranoid. I am privacy conscious but I don’t engage in privacy related content too often. I use Arch, Manjaro, /e/OS on a fairphone with mostly foss apps and decline most cookies I can. I also like self hosted things just because the corporate SaaS stuff sucks over time with artificial restrictions and has no privacy

Yeah I know. It was one prominent example I could think of on the spot but you can definitely be authoritarian without being a tankie
