Slowly beginning to use European alternatives for the following. See the list below.

I figured it was a good start to all the new ones around here: Google -> Qwant Apple Music -> Qobuz ChatGPT -> Me Chat Twitter/X -> Mastodon

And of course: Reddit -> Lemmy

I will update this list as I continue ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

YSK that Ecosia and Qwant (and many others) repackage Bing

The post is literally about them creating their own index to move away from Bing. This is a utterly useless comment.

Qwant has its own indexes and uses Bing to supplement them

Qwant and Ecosia are also developing a fully European search index together. The first versions are expected to be available this summer.

You could use Mojeek then, they even have a Lemmy presence @mojeek@lemmy.ml.
