imho if they actually delete your info afterwards, this is actually useful. (currently deleting a lot of accounts; opened a support ticket on one site that said that i want to delete my account; after a while without response, the login didn’t work anymore so i assume they just deleted the account without confirming it to me (like, i guess that is exactly what i asked for but i’d rather get a quick email so that i can mark it as deleted in my password manager than having to check if the login still works))

Buy European@feddit.uk•Good European browsers and search engines to reccomend? (Privacy-focused and open source ideal)English
3·3 months agoto be honest: i have no idea
it could be perfectly safe; it could be very unsafe
because of that i’m currently using startpage
- kinda based in europe
- iirc the company that owns it is american though
- uses google’s search results ._.
- doesn’t do any ai stuff iirc
while trying to minimize my web searches by
- typing in domains instead of searching for them
- using bookmarks
- using firefox search shortcuts to use a websites built-in search
- using offline stuff
- linux man pages
- python
help() - etc
you could also have an unique challange, for example showing the user an image that has instructions to append sone text to the url. anything that scrapers are too stupid for (I don’t think they are scraping using “intelligent” ai agents yet)

31·3 months agotheir commitment to env. activities is sincere
I somewhat had this opinion as well, but by jumping on the ai hype train they threw this commitment out of the window imo
Edit: sadly I don’t have any real european alternatives (that aren’t just using google or bing results) as the only other one that (partly) uses an eu-based web index is qwant, which is in no small part funded by Axel Springer and iirc a previous ceo went on to create a sourveillance company (which kinda seems fishy)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?
3·3 months agothank you so much!! just had a blast rewatching it after not having seen it for a long time. i guess the “code brown” joke (the president shitting his pants) is more current than ever.
Ich habe mir schon öfter gedacht, ob man sich als community nicht ein profil (bzw. den resultierenden barcode oder qr-code) teilen könnte. Dann würden alle die rabatte kriegen und die erhobenen daten haben mit mehr nutzern weniger wert.

1·4 months agono, I don’t think so (it loads for me)
i thought this was some kind of medical device you would find next to a hospital bed and got slightly concerned for a second
wondering why firefox hangs as you paste a 30MB text file into an online diff tool

51·7 months agook, let me rephrase that: this image was posted by an LLM agent that also generated the title (which can be seen on your own post that i linked), effectively making everything about this post ai slop except for the image that was made by someone else
