@BlumeEvolution Ernst gemeinte Frage: Was ist mit dem Begriff "Rechtsdualismus" gemeint? Wikipedia kennt den Begriff nicht. Der Duden kennt den Begriff nicht. Die Internetsuchmaschine - in diesem Fall #startpage - kennt den Begriff nur für Situationen, wenn gleizeitig zwei verschiedene Rechtsordnungen gelten. Das scheint hier aber nicht gemeint zu sein.

The plot thickens: remember when the EU slapped the hand of Google that they should let you use whatever #searchengine you want?

The #eOS launcher defaults to #Qwant and there is no option to change it. You can add your browser's widget to the widget page, but the universal search stays with the hard-coded default. Which sucks, because Qwant from 3 searches at least once is down.

And even if it's not, most likely you would get either irrelevant or French results. Good luck dealing with that if you don't known the language, which I don't!

At least #Startpage and #Ecosia should be options that we could choose from.

I feel like using Ecosia when you don't go to advertisements provided doesn't help the planet much more than, say, Startpage and might even be worse just because Ecosia gives you the ability to chat with OpenAI(Which also is negative for other reasons.). If anyone can help me to work through this, please do, I'll be very thankful!!!
Some things to consider:
Ecosia uses energy provided by 100% renewable energy to show you the search results. Startpage does not to my knowledge.
Ecosia does have more data collection than Startpage which adds to the point of it being worse for the environment in my given scenario.
If any one of the companies are on Mastodon, they could respond, too.
@ecosia and @StartpageSearch !!!

I paid for an annual #StartMail (by #Startpage) subscription back in January, but the experience so far has been very subpar… It’s missing both basic (e.g. displaying emails in conversation/thread format) and advanced (e.g. calendar) features 🙃

I’m happy that I can use “Add to Home Screen” instead of downloading another app, but the webmail UX is very clunky and the MFA UX is garbage (every time I open it, I have to open Bitwarden, search, then copy/paste the code). support.startmail.com/hc/en-us

Startpage is a search engine that has been promoted as a European alternative to Google Search.

This is a misleading statement.
