  • Our AI is 100% optional, like it has always been. Turn off Overviews anytime.

    AI overviews should be opt-in, not opt-out.

    I like Ecosia’s overall mission (focus on eco-friendlyness, building an independent index together with Quant etc.) it’s my main search engine now, with all AI features disabled. But I just checked with a private browser and the front page features the slogan “AI that answers to the planet”. I don’t like this switch to being an AI chatbot first, search engine second.

    Hi, I’ve read this statement a couple times now. These are my five cents: Your grammar doesn’t have to be perfect, your spelling doesn’t have to be perfect, your text doesn’t have to be perfect. I’ll always prefer human written text with small little errors over AI-corrected text. English isn’t my first language and I probably make errors here and there, but these can lead to funny little mistakes, maybe new words and never before read sentences get created. Human language is beautiful, despite or because of it’s errors. Have a nice day.




  • Bin gerade für längere Zeit krankgeschrieben und kam mit dem Wartemodus auf Termine und Besserung immer schlechter klar. Hab dann gestern StreetComplete wiederentdeckt, eine App mit der man sehr einfach Daten für OpenStreetMap verbessern und aktualisieren kann. Dann noch gemerkt wie einfach es ist in CoMaps Einträge zu bearbeiten und hinzuzufügen. Am Ende waren es 19.000 Schritte und Hunderte veränderte Datensätze. Ich fühl mich gut, habe endlich wieder eine sinnvolle Beschäftigung bei der ich kleine Aufgaben bekomme die leicht zu erledigen sind. Passt perfekt auf mein ADHS-Gehirn. Heute mache ich weiter :)
