Interesting. Is this happening in the u.s? If not there might be a law for those countries making them hide it there. If you can, try searching for sepia search, its a sesrch engine for almost all peertube intances basically its as if peertube was youtube, do those countries show that?

 

If over the air broadcast tv couldn't get any more free then this.

I agree, what are some of them that are known by users of Lemmy? In particular when you compare larger search engines to each other.

 

So after the Google anti trust situation that has occurred recently it got me wondering..

Do all major search engines censor resualts from independent sites? Let me define what I mean by censorship, if you were to search for some kind of content or news and Google never ever shows a site in the news results there is a chance of shadow banning. There also a chance that Google just doesn't know the site exists. but this isn't always the case.

the main question for this post however is this, how do specific search engines handle resualts? it's no secret Google is known for not doing search resualts on YouTube or Google too well for the user experience.

How do search engines like Bing, Yahoo, Google, Duckduckgo, metager, and others differenciate in their search rankings. Surely they aren't all moderating the exact same as Google, right? right..?

Ever heard of the game i spy? and with that they are advertising gaming for a Chromebook. This may all just be a coincidence.

While these tech comapnies have people look at the how users might see phrases like "hey guys." Not sure how Google thought people wouldn't do the same to them with this. Chromebook's don't sell as well so this is the worst product to do the worst with for marketing, but at the same time maybe they really do think this and think they can get away with this meme because no one is really buying a Chromebook unless it's like for school work. (although I actually do use my personal Chromebook on the daily i'm in that small minority.)

as you say this big companies in recent times have been working on making the web less wide, and less accessible mostly for independent sites. search engines hide sites, sometimes Playstore will take down apps. I think this is a small issue slowly turning into a big issue. and a small handful that own a bunch of the sites you commonly see will take advantage of the changing landscape.

In other words, these older extentions work just fine, no one wants the new limited features, and google is force disabling older extentions despite any outcries from its users because it can.

seems interesting, a news source from Germany. I'l bookmark it and check it out.

 

also feel free to comment your own suggestions for news sites for tech updates that don't pay wall on the web page.

New York times - https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology abc - https://abcnews.go.com/technology

the hill - https://thehill.com/policy/technology/ BBC news - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology

while nonprofit Npr doesn't pay wall, they have a new pop up that says something along the likes of "expected a paywall not our style please donate" that the user can dismiss and continue browsing the site. https://www.npr.org/sections/technology/

Reuters use to be a good source for me untill they started pay walling after a small amount of news article reads.

 

No idea.

 

Meta says blame should fall on appstores. What willl be next, web browsers? or search engines ??

will search engines have to vett people age to use Facebook too?

edit: i'm changing the news article to one with no pay wall. went from Washingtonpost to the hill

I'm glad you actually said that scrolling down the comment I was like, wait people are ok with this? and they don't see that it's a trap?

[–] rob299@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

It's a trap, this is all bad. standerlise the internet, and then they'l be able to charge you for Xbox live ons team and more

 

Sounds like ones demands have changed, or atleast they got a hold of themselves. whatever lead to them walking back on this, it's the end of another battle for internet privacy, but not the end of the war. As apps continue to track you in new mysterious ways behind their closed sourced software, and the governments continue to crack down on encryption. Anonymous names are important for privacy too.

 

While I heard about this coming to a vote a few days ago, the FCC has voted in favor for the rules today.

 

most people hate ai, but the bots on lemmy are an acception since they bring life to the communities when activities dries up. I mean- am I wrong here?thoughts? opinions?

 

If you're like me, you would join one Lemmy instance, and then join a community by one of the following ways,

  1. through a 3rd party search
  2. on the server you are on
  3. a link to the community

Let's say you find a community you like hosted from a different Lemmy instance, you bookmark it and find out that you have to make another account, which you don't, in order to post, interact and save settings.

We can fix this by modifying or editing the URL in the bookmark.

say my main account is in Lemmy world, I click a link to another community and it acts as if I should have an account on there and I can't log into my account through new instance! How do I make it just work with just my original account?

using https://lemmy.ml/c/linux_gaming as example (not in the screenshot but same concept)

  1. at the beginning of the url, I would want to change the lemmy.ml to lemmy.world this tells "them" i'm on the instance that I signed up on.

  2. at the end of the url right after the name of the instance lastly I would want to add @lemmy.ml. This is useful with communities with double names in different instances! Sometimes what will happen without that included in the url is "they'l" will take to the community you asked for but only if it's from that community at the start of the url, so be sure to have that in the bookmarked URL.

  3. the bookmarked URL in my case should end up looking like this, https://lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
