  • Just a reminder that WhatsApp is also owned by Facebook
    Meaning, you can go to public instances like searx.me,. Here's the documentation on how to start it up. But , you dont have to trust Searx that they are good people nor do you have to trust their data habits like DDG. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Instead of lashing out at duckduckgo for doing what they think is best, ask the deeper question of why we’re all still using centralized services and being disappointed when they behave in a predictably centralized way.
    Consider a future where something like https://searx.me/ is as ubiquitous as Tor. Source: about 2 years ago
  • DDG, once a hero has now fallen.
    For those looking for a replacement for Duckduckgo; I would highly recommend using Searx. It's an open source privacy respecting search engine with many decentralized private instances you can swap between. The link I sent is the primary instance, but here is a link with dozens more, and my own private instance. Source: about 2 years ago

  • Add this to the offal pit! The search engines are getting worse! Did you even notice? 🦕
    They are, if the thing I'm looking for isn't something mainstream I use https://searx.me/, its a "meta" search meaning it searches on several different websites then compiles the results and tries to remove personalization/ads/SEO. It also does a much better job than Google at respecting advanced syntax like flags and quotation marks. Source: over 2 years ago
  • What do you guys think of Havana syndrome?
    But a cursory search with searx.me found anecdotes that Mr. Parenti is in poor health and is in poverty (the impoverisment is typical for enemies of the US state). Source: over 2 years ago

    I like https://searx.me, as it allows to aggregate results from several search engines. Source: over 2 years ago

  • Why Emulating Nintendo Games Is Good, Probably (The Jimquisition)
    Yes. The entire thing is organized like the underlining structures of the internet. Communities are networked together in a web of free association and resources are matched to need in the same way that a web crawler like SearX searches for information on the network. Each federation of cooperatives would operate like a Mastodon or Peertube instance. Source: over 2 years ago

    But if you want to be a 1337 Hekr, there is searx.me that uses searches every search engine you want it to. Genuinely useful sometimes to aggregate results, but it's like using an F1 racecar for groceries. Source: over 2 years ago
