The way I have Google Search set up, I can search "disregard" with no problems (for now)
merriam-webster.com, cambridge.org, cornell.edu are the top 3 results
Travis F WProblems out of scope for the first web must necessarily be in-scope for #TheNextWeb/#SocialWeb:
Privacy and Security #privsec
Search
Data & hosting
publishing code
switching browsers
Disintermediation (#WWW must be its own platform, must facilitate/obviate brokering)
all of the above, in other words: #Disenshittification
#Versioning (#DVCS) & #Archiving & #Publishing
Navigation of semantic adjacency in terms of a hyperspatial manifold. (got a term for this?)
Mark J. Blair"Hershey to resume using chocolate in most products" is such a weird headline to me. It doesn't seem like good business sense to me for a company to stop using ingredients that can be legally called the very thing their company name is synonymous with. #enshittification #disenshittification
✨Based Plant🎸Here's my #Disenshittification journey so far:
Twitter > Mastodon & Bluesky
Instagram > PixelFed
Spotify > SoundCloud
Amazon Prime > host giveaway events, thrift, shop at fam owned
Diff browsers > Waterfox
G Maps > OrganicMaps
Gmail > Proton
Google Cloud > Local harddrive
I deleted a lot of digital stuff, files etc. Installing the Material file manager on my Xiaomi/Android phone was a BIG upgrade there.
Tried to get Fdroid or Aurora, but they don't show in my Google Play..?

contributopiaDavvero interessante l'intervento che Cory Doctorow ha tenuto il 28 gennaio al 2026 Digital Government Leaders Summit a Ottawa. Presenta una strategia, politica ed economica per il Canada, ma non solo, per liberarsi dal dominio delle #BigTech USA.

E la traduzione di un breve estratto dall'apertura del suo intervento.
"Quindi oggi non ho suggerimenti da darvi su come perdere miliardi di dollari. Non ho idee su come distruggere il maggior numero possibile di posti di lavoro canadesi, né su come rendere il Canada più dipendente dai giganti tecnologici statunitensi.
No, tutto quello che ho da offrirvi oggi è un piano per far guadagnare al Canada decine di miliardi di dollari, offrendo prodotti e servizi che la gente vuole e per cui è disposta a pagare, garantendo al contempo la resilienza e la sovranità digitale del Paese, vincendo la guerra commerciale, liberando il popolo americano e lanciando il nostro settore tecnologico in un'orbita stabile per i prossimi decenni."

fedipeteThis week in #disenshittification :
Finally cut the Gmail cord and moved to #fastmail
Took a few hours of futzing with DNS settings at my registrar, getting to know #thunderbird , and figuring out what to use for calendar because unlike on the dektop #Thunderbird doesn't include the calendar on #android .
Eventually landed on #Etar synced to #fastmail via #DAVx .Setup was quite smooth. Really the biggest time sink was in deciding what to use.
This was one of the big steps towards liberating myself from Google's clutches. I'm very glad it's done.
