My sister sent me a Google link with search results about something we'd discussed. I thanked her, and then suggested using "No AI" DuckDuckGo for searches in future. Then sent her this link:
I know there are other search engine options but switching from google.com to this link is fairly painless. Crossing my fingers that this makes an impact and she makes the switch! π€
Gmail is free. The surveillance is included.
When you use a free email service, the business model is you β your data, your habits, your inbox contents.
Runbox costs a few euros a month. No ads. No scanning. No profiling. No AI reading your messages to sell you things.
Some things are worth paying for.

Stumbled onto Curlie (https://curlie.org/), I'm surprised there isn't more visibility of this on masto given its non-commercial nature.
Its an open human curated website directory which built on what DMOZ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMOZ) had and in some ways feel like a much more elegant (if partial) alternative to the sledgehammers that are indexing crawlers.
Looking forward to see if I can use this for relatively static items like reference materials and portals (library sites, etc). It won't be anywhere near complete for local shops and more ephemeral things like blogs.
Are there any other users here on masto who can comment on longterm Curlie usability?
The only thing I like about LLMs is when they BURN the owners of those LLMs π

I've been using Zoho free for decades now with my domains and I've never had an issue. Security options have been great, it's worked well, and support has always been good when I needed it.
