DDG isn't opensource but there is alternatives like searx
@strikersan You're right, thanks for pointing this out! :)
@Tutanota @strikersan #DuckDuckGo managed to hijack a room at #FOSDEM to advertize for DDG. They have a #FLOSS phone app, which was just used as an excuse to get the room which then formed the basis of their pitch. #Searx has a truly #FOSS server, but in the end it's just s/w. There are good searx nodes & there are bad searx nodes (which use #CloudFlare).
@strikersan @Tutanota Glad to hear that! The best search engine I've found for privacy is based on Searx. It had to be modified though b/c searx does not filter out #CloudFlare sites. The improved fork has not been publically shared yet.
@resist1984 @Tutanota @strikersan
Wow. Did you have a source for that?
@Tutanota @strikersan @Utgardloki #FOSDEM organizers should be ashamed for letting #DDG misappropriate a FOSDEM time slot for commercial gain
@Utgardloki @strikersan @Tutanota At the end of the talk, the DDG rep ducked out without taking questions-- to dodge the criticism of what they did.
@resist1984 @Tutanota I host my own instance of searx
