qwant = 95% bing results, startpage = 98% google results. They are slimmer. They don’t keep your search history or ip address. better for privacy but not much better for search results.

kagi is the best but it will cost you $10 a month. It’s been worth it to me, but probably not to everyone.

qwant uses bing and is mostly a proxy for it. Startpage is a proxy for google. the only thing they really do is protect your privacy, they don’t give you better search results.

we aren’t talking about using it to -benefit- human society like discovering new proteins or vaccines. We’re talking about it fucking up search results on google and generating billions of new sites with fucking spam. It’s a tool, but it’s being completely misused and ruining the internet.

are you using a VPN? turned off location settings?

I literally don’t see any AI blurbs at all in my searches. I wonder if one of my 4 ad blockers is killing the javascript element.

how do you guys get these things? I never see any summaries like that. I wonder if one of my adblockers is killing google AI lmao. Do you have to be logged into your google account? I never log into google any more.

the main thing for you is to stay off your phone as well. Kids watch their parents closely and humans have an in built need for “fairness”, if they see you addicted to it they will never stop wanting to do the same.

it’s not a ban. It’s highly likely China will allow Tiktok to split off a USA version before the deadline is up, if they don’t get it tossed in court. TikTok isn’t going anywhere.

good luck with that!

They need to start shooting them down as soon as they enter Taiwanese airspace

I just hope they stay safe. This stuff is extremely dangerous in Russia.

organic food definitely uses more resources per unit output than “commercial” ag. It can’t supply the world’s food supply unless they greatly increase their capabilities. It’s either “modern methods” or we reduce the worlds population.

Go look at any multimillionaire’s house in California and then compared its resource usage to a dilapidated trailer in the deep south in a poor county. They’ll be using 50-100x the resources of the poor family.

when you own 90% of the wealth and resources, i’m kind of shocked that is “poorest 90%”

Surely they can’t force say US browser companies to do this to browsers downloaded from the USA?

lol I’m sure the AI profiteers will honor this

I’m sure they would be happy to accept your help in translating a new language.

A lot of people seem to never use bookmarks and depend on just leaving the tabs open. shrug I guess they let their history last forever too.

you can do the same with firefox, you can have hundred of tabs open there as well, it has the same capability to suspend tabs.
