Corporations have figured out that enshittification works .. it increases revenue and profit. Same with surveillance capitalism. Some of this feels like fun stuff for us techies but it will bite us and the next gen. The only way to fix it

Thank you for stating this so simply and clearly. It's absurd to see so many commenters, who are probably mostly wage earners, mindlessly repeat the right wing propaganda. Civilization needs some minimum decency.

Thank you. When the head of the labor stats department is fired for reporting labor stats (she has a PhD), when the head of the public health agency is a vaccine skeptic lawyer .. I know where we in the US are headed.

"Relative to employment in the fast food sector elsewhere in the United States" .. could drive a truck through that "elsewhere". In 1992, New Jersey made just such an increase in minimum wage at fast food restaurants.

Yeah and tell me America is great at this. Where a authoritarian sacks a government official for publishing government stats. Wonderfully democratic TACO state.

Totally agree. It doesn't seem limited to EU results btw. I added a bookmark on the toolbar and will be searching there first. Enough already will surveillance capitalism! https://www.ecosia.org/

First, the results seem really good. Definitely better than Bing. Remember the old days when g**gle came out and it seemed amazing? A little like that. Second, I read their blog. Critical thinking and reading helps one recognize BS. Now the

Here is the actual search page. I searched for something, looks pretty good. One small blow against enshittification: https://www.ecosia.org/

This is very cool. I might have the skills to replicate this but would never be able to accomplish it. My brain is warped .. to get motivated, I need the end result to be of some tangible value. Pure fun doesn't work for me, sadly. I a

Well worth a read to the rest of us .. (who keep going on and on about, if LLMs are the best thing since sliced bread or not).

We have a wooded area in the back, with small shallow pools of water that appear and disappear depending on rainfall. I tried mosquito dunks for a few years and gave up. Felt it needed too many to cover the area. I will try again with bucke

Supposing someone creates a gazillion sites containing facts interspersed with bullshit. Would it mess up LLM statistics?

Sorry disagree here. I use a Garmin for driving. Don't wish to contribute to the surveillance economy. I love what the OP has done and look forward to more such.

I think this is a good move. EU has been passing some good regulations to combat internet enshittification.

Explain this please. With enough detail for the HN gurus.

Thank you. I have the same worry. I'm not a developer, how could one tell there isn't some built in backdoor in the hardware? There was another HN posting on Graphene and asked the same question there with no answer.

Would very much like something like this. But I still don't get it .. a system that cuts out g**gle, but is based on g**gle hardware? How could that grow or last? .. In the meantime, using an Android with location disabled, Duck browse

Going to seriously consider Graphene for my next phone. Does it work only on pixel or any other android, what are the minimum requirements? (pardon, non tech HN user here).

Not sure why you got downvoted, but this is exactly what I thought. Add the mini video that follows you down along the page, this site already has two of the worst features of the internet.

The post says August 2023. Still way worth a read. Seems like an outright shady organization and paid for by g**gle. Changed to DuckDuckGo two years ago happy with it so far.

Hesitate to bring up politics here, but it's hard not to view the divide in the US in terms of this framework. I'm very much a progressive. But it seems focusing on lots of different (and divisive) issues affecting small parts of

Congrats, Nice work! .. Now go build and sell some nice IOT gadgets that do not track users, and become a millionaire. Like a simple water leak detector.
