...and thats exactly why you should support Ecosia instead of assuming that they are greeenwashing anything like your company (here's me assuming) does.
It is wrong, imho, to think, just because an employer uses Ecosia as a scapegoat, to think they are doing the same. Or am I misinterpretating your comments?
I would assume they send the IP so that Bing will return location specific search results for weather, local businesses and such. I see no reason to assume malicious intent.
What’s stopping them from performing an offline IP location lookup and requesting location specific search results without sharing the IP with Microsoft?
Yeah their documentation is dreadful, but they could just append loc:countryCode to the query before making the API request: e.g. ‘attractions loc:dk’.. at least that works for me despite some people mentioning this filter is no longer supported.
Not sure how DDG and other search engines that rely on Bing does it, but it’s certainly possible without sharing the users’ IP with Microsoft.
I am a german living in Berlin - and let me tell you, I feel deeply ashamed. Not because I am german, but because I have the impression that a lot of people involved, especially our once-so-admired former mayor Klaus Wowereit, are obsessed with money, and got caught in a swamp of corruption and were misleading the public.
A year ago or so, it turned out that the folks responsible for all the mess (none of the board of course) we not to be found, because they were supporting a system were a subcontractor could hire another subcontractor and so forth, making it impossible for anyone to get a grip on what is going on. And that is not what I would expect from a billion dollar project run by some of the most trusted politicians and executives in our country.
I flew home from Budapest a couple of weeks ago, and I was surprised to see that we were using the actual airstrip of BER. The flight was supposed to go to SXF (Berlin Schönefeld), but instead we landed on the new airstrip, driving by the not-yet-finished new airport. Can anyone tell me why?
There's more to it though - starting with corruption [1] and going all the way to REBULDING the whole thing [2].
I'll stop here now - but I hope that there will be a lot more of critique towards those who made this a completely embarassing desaster.

They repurposed the south airstrip of SXF as the north airstrip of BER. As the north airstrip of SXF was dismantled for a highway this is the only remaining airstrip at SXF. For BER they built another additional one.
I wasn't aware of that - but did they increase the number of planes starting and landing on SXF? It wasn't until a couple of months ago since they started taxi'ing around the building, or am I wrong?
You can use it as a standalone generator, but also as a manager since it will generate the same password for the correct name + passphrase + output variables.
It's not much of a "useful" manager to me though, so I'm using Mnemosyne to generate the passwords and 1password to store them. Works like a charm!
While I don't have personal experience, from what I've read, IE on Mac was a fair bit different from IE on Windows. IE 5 for Mac, released in 2000, used something called the Tasman engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasman_%28layout_engine%29
> At the time of its release, Tasman was seen as the layout engine with the best support for web standards such as HTML and CSS.
> The Macintosh Edition introduced a new rendering engine called Tasman that was designed to be more compliant with emerging W3C standards such as HTML 4.0, CSS Level 1, DOM Level 1, and ECMAScript.
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that back while IE for Windows was giving web developers prematurely grey hair, IE for Mac was a much nicer browser and much more comfortable to support as a development target. I think it ended up getting less time/thought/effort from Microsoft eventually. Also, Safari was released in 2003 (beta in January, default browser in OS X 10.3 Panther, in October).
That is more than embarrasing. I actually wrote quite a bit about how I am not sure if they are actively developing it and so on. Sorry to see that it got lost at some point.
I was basically trying to figure out if there will be any improvements to sl in the near future, and if anyone is having any information about it.
