• 'You have blood on your hands', US senator tells Zuckerberg [video]

  Sometimes I still use https://millionshort.com/ for filtering out those crap tier sites; web site search engine still means finding useful webpages - I hope the AI search engines do recognize that as a target to list actual useful sites vs the 1-summary-to-rule-them-all. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Looks like millionshort is back

  After getting a 503 from every search for months, it would appear https://millionshort.com is back online and going to a paid model. If you get the same experience as I, you'll be offered a login/register page when attempting a search. I've found it to be a very helpful resource and am glad there's life there. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

  Kagi search is brilliant in this aspect. There used to be a similar service [0] not too long ago that blocked many spam sites from the search results. [0] http://millionshort.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Cory Doctorow: Platform Capitalism and the Curse of “Enshittification” [audio]

  Https://millionshort.com/ Then there's neocities, weird subreddits, 4chan, niche forums still running on phpBB discussing all kinds of stuff. You seem to expect that niche communities should've scaled with the rest of the internet. Like, back then, there were a few million people online.

• Google News Is Boosting Garbage AI-Generated Articles

  Seriously, I'm surprised at how many devs haven't seen DuckDuckGo's bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs I use them all the time for work. !mdn for MDN, !dnab for .NET, !npm for NPM, !py3 for Python3 docs, !debman for Debian Manpages, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !g for Google when you really need it. I'm not affiliated with DDG; I just really, really love it. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Google breaks search for Firefox users because of bad UA string sniffing

  I think everyone in the thread knows about "search engines" in Chrome and bookmark keywords in Firefox. The crux of the issue is that there are more than 10,000 bang commands in DDG. Setting up even a popular subset in any given browser is a significant investment. It's fine if it's the browser you use 99% of the time, but for those spanning multiple computers, phones, and other devices, simply using bang... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Kagi – Sourcing from Brave Search, improved image search, and new Safari ext

  Where is the place to add personal bangs to DuckDuckGo? I can't find it in https://duckduckgo.com/bangs or https://duckduckgo.com/settings. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Wine 9.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS

  Kagi uses the same bangs as duckduckgo (and more), so there should already be 4 different bangs for it https://duckduckgo.com/bangs?q=protondb. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Are there valid Google Search alternatives?
