@CosmicHorror @ikonoklast @ctt of course that makes sense!

[galaxis@mastodon.infra.de]

@ctt DDG noai mostly, but sometimes I try Mojeek since it has a very different view on the web...

(...even if I'm not even able to find my own web page with Mojeek - ok, I write maybe one new blog post per year, and it has few incoming links, but it's been online under the current address for over 20 years now, so like every other search engine has picked it up at least once or so.)

The no AI version of duckduckgo

[fxk8y@furry.engineer]

@ctt used this as a hint to dry out duckduckgo and again, and nope, sadly not electronics ready yet (edit: see posts below!)

I try this from time to time, throwing like "lm393 datasheet" at it, measuring how long I must scroll for a proper deep link to some PDF.

Google does this *very* consistently, so that's what I'll continue using
