A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Google is absolutely useless now, nothing but SOE farmed rubbish.
It’s become completely unusable.
I’ve moved over to Kagi 100%
It’s well worth the money for the amount of control I have over my experience. Being able to black list, downplay or uplift specific sources is awesome
Never heard of Kagi but it does sound I intriguing.
You will love it. I switched about 6 months ago and it's wonderful. When I was using duckduckgo I had to use the !g keyword to search Google sometimes. With Kagi, it's basically switch and you forget Google exists.
Set it as default and you will see what I mean.
But it's paid 😭 I spose I could try it for a month.
Unfortunately it's looking like that's going to be the future of things that aren't shit on the internet, whether it's paying for search, or donating every so often to your Fediverse admin to help keep the lights on.
Yup try it and set as default in the browser. You will start to see a lot of sites that never showed up in google also. They have these "listacles" in search results where they group relevant sites into a small list, which makes it super simple to go to them for results.
If you want a sample search, try "best tv shows 2023" or something like that.
is this an ad?
More like organic user reviews I would say.
"organic"
The post is literally about search engines. This is about as organic as you’re gonna get.
TIL shills are organic users.
you don't seem to know the definition of
shill.The way you can blacklist listicles and similar garbage is worth the asking price in the face of it
I haven't done that but yes, it's pretty much unheard of that the user can actually control what shows up in search if you come from Google-land.
