Really, victim blaming?

Get out of here with that low quality crap.

That's kinda the root is the problem though isn't it?

It's incredible useful to have hoards of intellectually challenged voters hanging off your every lie.

You're... preaching to the choir. I also didn't argue against education, so I'm failing to see what you are arguing against here.

From a parent perspective, largely because of societal consequences.

Your toddler talking about sex can lead to undesirable social consequences.

Not that I agree with it, but the reasoning is valid, it's a fear of other people and their lack of understanding or nuance. And the potential for them to assume the worst and attack you over something entirely benign.

Now if we're talking about education, there really isn't any good excuse. Maybe it's an extension of the above?

The wrong lesson?

I'm not sure how reducing your attack surface area is the wrong lesson here.

Definitely distopian, corporate power and entrenchment grows every year.

Probably because of the "you can't be sexist against males" standpoint

Yeah, it's technical topics I care about, and have a hard time with in current search engines.

There is so much noise caused by celebrity news, current events, "hot topics", politics, "top 10" list spam, SEO gaming....etc that searches on Google, bing, and ddg are just frustrating.

This is literally "nuh uh" quality discussion. We get it, you like SearXNG, are you actually trying Kagi?

I just tried a few SearXNG instances and the quality is the same as what I get from Google or Bing anyways.

Trying out Kagi now to see if it's better or not.

They probably have a lot of potential infrastructure savings. $1/80 searches is an absolutely astronomical cost.

I'm imagining there are quite a few gains they can get by way of optimization, different technologies, and optimizing hot paths to bring that number down.

It really depends how they built this thing. For instance, if they built this on the AWS ecosystem, using more than straight compute/K8, their costs are going to be an actual order of magnitude higher than if they didn't.

That'd be weird if they couldn't, there's no way they can improve their search engine other than by watching the way users use it.

Otherwise it exists in a vacuum.

You may want to stop using fabric softener if you do. This wears down your clothes, fast, socks included. You'll find your things wear through much slower if you stop using it.

browsers themselves are easy to make

That's ... a patently false statement.

They are among the most complex, difficult, resource hungry pieces of software out there along with actual operating systems.

There's a lot of open source browsers out there. Are you using them? Probably not

This is also essentially misinformation. I'm sure none of us have heard of Firefox before, or Chromium. Sure Chrome (closed source) is what most people use, but Firefox isn't exactly some esoteric browser.

Honestly, will probably see some of this in my lifetime.

Unfortunately.

I probably come in at ~30-50 searches/day so I never really considered it. But unlimited sounds interesting 🤔

I've become accustomed to using blue, purple, red, green, pink, and black pens.

The colors really make my notes easier to visually scan. Especially if I'm trying to keep a topic on one page and end up filling in gaps with sideways notes or diagrams.

That's not how that works...

The magnets aren't being moved across conductors to induce currents.

That's a whole other can of worms, and I'm gonna guess much more difficult to quantify and study due to physiological, psychological, and hormonal inconsistencies vs sociatal influences..
