✅ Über das Sprungbrett direkt im Internet suchen

Im Textfeld eine Website oder auch einen Suchbegriff eingeben, das Textfeld schlägt dann "Im Internet suchen" vor. Im Browser wird dann die voreingestellte Suchmaschine aufgerufen.

Am I the only one who is utterly depressed by the clamour to regulate the Internet and pretty much every interaction and membership of every platform and service,, not only by governments but also by individual users?

Society must be careful of allowing their freedoms to be taken away in the name of good causes.

Whenever I see someone screaming for someone or some group to be banned, I think of the famous "When they came for ... I said nothing..." speech. 😞

@ErikUden This is not a minor issue. #Mastodon was all about #freedom. Now the number of arbitrary rules I have to obey makes this platform a hostile environment. Arguing with readability while the inferior #UX stems from deliberate developer decisions is quite ridiculous. Forcing me to repeat myself is a red line I hope you do not dare to cross.

Sad enough the #fediverse has become what it was trying to fight against.

@zbrando @morrick @ueeu You’re not wrong.

But, looking ahead, we can do so much better than the commercial domain name system.

Commercial domain names are a gold standard example of artificial scarcity. A domain name registrar cost next to nothing to operate. It’s tiny rows of text in a database. It could easily be free to own your own domain name – a huge part of what constitutes identity – on the Internet.

In fact, a non-commercial service has been operational for 24 years. It would be trivial to regulate that browsers in the EU implement support for it and work together with, say, @letsencrypt to ensure it can handle TLS.

That would be an amazing addition to the commons and a future-proof way forward that we could lead on with next to no investment.

March 15 is a crucially important day in U.S. history…the importance of 3/15 is, of course, that it is the day in 1820 that Maine joined the Union…Maine statehood had national repercussions…I found it fascinating that a group of ordinary people from country towns who shared a fear that they were losing their democracy could figure out how to work together to reclaim it.

Letters from an American · March 15, 2025By Heather Cox Richardson
Thank you to everyone in Minnesota who yesterday came to support Ukraine, stand up for American values, and defend democracy. I was really moved by how many people showed up (despite the nasty weather), the support, and the creativity of the posters (pooping dog made my day 🐶).
You’re all amazing. Proud to be a Minnesotan 💙
