• Concept of Anyfund: Gratitude Funds for Charity

  Another possibility for Anyfund could be to allocate its funds exclusively for charitable purposes. Maybe we could have 100% eco-friendly Anytype merch? Imagine the fascination of observing community-driven charitable endeavors and sustainable initiatives, reflecting our commitment to a nurturing & open future. This could be inspired by the "noble" apps, of which I've personally used Ecosia, where the act of using... Source: 10 months ago

• Why Firefox doesn't launch their own Private search engine ?

  - Ecosia - A search engine that uses 80% of its profits from ad revenue to support tree-planting projects. They publish their finances on a monthly basis - https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-financial-reports-tree-planting-receipts/. Source: 12 months ago

• Tulsa Earth Day Celebration at the Guthrie Green (Friday-Sunday)

  I literally just copy and pasted this information, but I for one am excited about Earth Day; I look forward to it every year. Also, since we're on this topic, ecosia.org is a search engine that plants trees with the ad revenue they generate (they're a carbon negative company!). Source: 12 months ago

• Is this censorship or is the site just broken?

  If you go to ecosia.org or qwant.com on any mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.,.) and search for ghandi you also get no results. Its only when the search query ends in ghandi, for example "ghanid date of birth" returns results fine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Microsoft is making it easier to block annoying autoplay videos in Edge

  DDG was caught allowing Microsoft/Bing trackers through a deal with Microsoft, use Startpage or Ecosia instead. Source: about 1 year ago

• As we all are highly dependent on the information searched for, most engines filter for best fit to interact and sell but not the information we really are looking for, so what is the best search engine who really tries to only filter out the information we are looking for?

• What is going on with search engines these days?

  DuckDuckGo & Co. - DDG, Swisscows and Ecosia all use Bing index. For people that only care about privacy, this is a non-issue. But I don't like the idea that the entirety of web currently depends on just two companies. So I personally don't use them. Same logic extends to Startpage, which is owned by an ad company & uses Google's results. As they rely on the Big 2, they're closer to frontends/MetaSearch engines in... Source: about 1 year ago

• WTF Delaware

  I recommend you use swisscows.com to search instead, its not censored in the same way that duckduckgo.com and google.com is censored with different results appearing. Source: over 1 year ago

• I thought Brave didn't collect data? Am I missing something.

  I use brave, google (for technical subjects when I can't find answer with brave), and for anything that has a remote chance to be censored I use engines with their own crawlers : fireball.de, gigablast.com, yandex.com and other browsers to be sure but I don't think they have their own crawler : lycos.com, swisscows.com, mojeek.com, metager.de. We would need a locally served meta search engine that search on all... Source: over 1 year ago
