Shhh, don't call it "haptic feedback" or they might make them flat, unmoving buttons that have a vibration motor behind them.

Good. Fuck Chegg. Let cheating, plagiarizing dipshits have the dubious AI slop.

Hence "4+", because I agree with you wholeheartedly.

When I told people that literally every aspect of life will be worse under Trump, I absolutely meant it. Republican poison will seep into literally every aspect of our lives. And this is exactly what I mean when I say "everything is political" to those who only single out a handful of hot-button issues as "political".

With the rise of fascism in the US, just keep "everything is political" in the back of your mind for the next 4+ years, and if you don't believe it by then, I don't know what to tell you.

I know this story didn't happen because there's no such thing as "too many tamales".

Definitely written by a legal team masquerading as someone who actually cares about/had any role in founding the platform.

Ngl, this article feels bloviating bordering on AI-generated and/or a padded high school essay. Here's the relevant Wikipedia article. For instance, by the way:

This event underscores the complex relationship between catastrophic environmental changes and evolutionary processes, offering valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of life on Earth. [thank you, obligatory 'Conclusion' paragraph from all my phoned-in high school essays.]

The Carnian Pluvial Event, also known as the Carnian crisis, has left its mark in geological records across the globe, suggesting a widespread environmental impact. [no shit it had a widespread environmental impact??]

Incidentally, we try not to use these sorts of "Forbes contributor" articles on Wikipedia when possible. They're effectively just blogs masquerading under the credibility of Forbes staff's actual journalism.

That said, I don't see anything wrong with this excerpt. This is legitimate attack vector.

The two criteria I suggested were "not saturated with ads and AI trash" (technically just the latter would satisfy OP's problem), and DDG meets both of those with no problem. Its AI "assistant" and its ads can both be trivially disabled. I use DuckDuckGo because I love its frontend and because it gives me fewer problems than Google did. I've only ever used alternative search engines that piggyback off the major ones (as you listed: DDG, Startpage, and SearX), so someone else would have to answer that for you.

Using a search engine that isn't saturated with ads and AI trash also solves this problem.

insultingly tiny, unupgradeable storage aside, that's surprisingly competitive with most modern Windows laptops
