  • Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AI

  • AI companies do not release any numbers themselves for carbon emissions.

    I think the EU is even helping them keep that "operationally sensitive information" private, which is a shame.

    not adding AI does not stifle environmental goals.

    I can't agree or disagree here. I know the demand for AI is huge: hundreds of millions of users per day and at least a billion per week. If Ecosia is seen not to have this feature, I would consider it possible that it hurts their adoption and therefore their goals.

    which shows how incredibly dirty AI can be, even if no one releases any sensible metrics.

    Yes. I'm not sure how much solace the "world greenest AI" slogan can really offer in that context. https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-ai/ - but when I'm recommending search to someone, I recommend Ecosia over Google, Bing, DDG, Qwant, Mojeek, etc. simply because I think they are more of a net positive than the other options.

    Who knows, maybe in a year or twos time I'll look back and regret it when more information surfaces. But they've been sensible enough until now with their operational choices to reach tree-planting goals.

  • It’s not me downvoting you, by the way. Anyway, AI is the antithesis of eco-friendly so I share the criticism. But given their success to date I defer to their sense for pragmatism and results.

  • Isn’t that hyperbole rather than truth? They’re still carbon negative.

    They don’t provide AI by default (at least, I don’t get it). So people like us can continue to not use AI and the hundreds of million who use it every day can still support tree planting.

    I don’t like AI, but if they don’t add it they could risk limiting their reach and environmental goals.

  • UBUNTU TOUCH in 2026: it's really close!

    Jump

  • I bought the Ubuntu phone when it first came out. Very exciting times to be a Linux head. I absolutely loved it and still miss it.

    Today I rely on certain accessibility features paired with gestures that I haven’t seen implemented anywhere else. But otherwise I’d like to have that phone again.

  • Ecosia have planted 250,000+ trees so far and publish their accounts every month. I can’t think of a better option, unless there is a niche requirement.

  • They just formed the biggest tech worker union in the US. The plan is to take on AI and industry layoffs

    Jump

  • My question is: for who will they fight back? Meta employees have shown us they only fight for themselves as employees, not the victims of their work. And then there’s what Microsoft did to those who opposed involvement with genocide and colonialism. Many more examples too.

    Jump

  • I have mixed feelings on this. Tech workers are often the henchmen of borderline evil organisations. They’re looking for a place at the table, rather than to hold the companies accountable.

    Of course, if it’s not as easy to lay them off maybe they can afford to risk holding them to account. I’m sceptical though.

  • By all means step away and take good care of yourself when it gets too intense. It's necessary at times. But comments like that just don't belong here. We can't ask victims to help us derail their stories so we can process our difficulties reading them. Let's keep this about them and not make it about ourselves.

  • There is no "bright" side to this. No "at least". And this is a story about a real human being, not an entertainment piece to draw irony from.

  • Graduates might be wise enough to boo, but I know too many in the same age group who use it. The parents, of course, do not supervise their device use adequately when they were growing up and the evidence shows in other areas of their lives.
