I agree that DDG's results suck, but so do Google's.
They really are both just awful. I've yet to find a search engine as good as Google was 10-15 years ago.
I wonder how much of that is Google being worse and you making more complex searches because you're older
You got me there, but only you didn't at all and I just feel sorry for you. Great baseless conjecture though.
I wasn't trying to "get" anyone. It's genuine curiosity. Christ, dude. Send your toxic-ass Reddit attitude back to that shitty platform it belongs.
It was an absolutely unnecessary comment and in no way a relevant quesiton. Odds are I'm better versed in technology than you. Don't act like you were reasonable and you're the one being attacked now. You're one of those people who thinks they have the right to say whatever crappy thing they want and then look all confused when you illicit whatever response you absolutely deserved. Then accuse the other person of exactly what you started. I'm not facilitating this childish banter any further. Have whatever day you deserve.
Man you really think I'm being wildly more hostile than I am. It was genuine curiousity. It was in no way unnecessary, it wasn't attacking you in any way, it was prompting a conversation. If you think every response to you that's only tangentially related to what you said is off topic, then I fear for anyone who even attempts to have any sort of conversation with you at all. That's how conversations work.
Fifteen years ago my searches were limited to Minecraft and basic programming questions. Now they're more like searching for specific research papers and other significantly more complex topics and I get much less useful results. Are they related? Who knows! It's an interesting idea, though, which I was hoping to explore with someone who might be interested. But no, you decided to be whatever this is.
Fuck, dude, get your head out of your goddamn ass. Learn how to talk to people. Fuck.
