Tried Brave Search and felt like it was the closest to Google Search, in terms of a modernized-feel and good UI/UX, but after reading about the company and their questionable ethics, I switched to DDG instead. I'll sacrifice my experience to avoid the more suspect company

Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect
Proprietary so it's a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.
I use this too
Great response 👍🏾
I'm sure most of us are old enough to remember when citing directly from wikipedia was seen as stupid and in poor taste because 'anyone could edit the articles'.
It's likely still premature to fully trust in definitions from LLMs, but it's worth noting that AFAIK, basically every LLM is trained off of wikipedia articles because the data is free, easily accessible and contains the answers to lots of random human questions
What surprised me was the amount of Android users. I guess self-hosters are predisposed to tinkering in general perhaps?
Come on over to Linux yall, the ~~water's~~ open-source vibes are fine
Good point when you frame it that way, but also worth acknowledging that relative to the alternatives, it is an uphill battle that most won't be bothered with. My experience involved reading this site + joining their discord + digging into Github for troubleshooting, which is not a viable option for 80% of users
It is worth noting that they updated their support to be 10 years moving forward, so I disagree with the eWaste sentiment. I agree that Linux as a permanent alternative isn't super easy, and I say that typing from a Chromebook running Debian 12.
It's worth noting that DDG did update their policy after the blowback.
