As an alternative for both, try searXNG.

https://searx.space/ for instances.

https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.

BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.

IIRC, they originally became popular because they saved characters for microblogs like Twitter. They've outlasted their usefulness though.

Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn't work out which instance to use. Then they couldn't work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.

Maybe he didn't have the money to launch a suit.

That's great if you have one of the handful of phones supported, but for the rest of us, not so much.

Bicycles and kick scooters will be banned from footpaths that are next to cycling lanes from the fourth quarter of this year. They must stick to the cycling lane instead. Only personal mobility aids like motorised scooters will be allowed on these pedestrian-only paths. These will have a speed limit of 6 km/h by the end of next year. The Land Transport Authority says this is to keep paths safer for all, especially seniors and young children.

The jobseeker program is just like the weight-loss industry. They do just enough to appear to be doing something, but not enough to actually fix the problem. If they did succeed, they'd be out of a job.

Agree. We don't even teach them to drive at night.

My chief complaint about DDG is excluding a term from a query rarely works. The "-" tag is not reliable.
